How Great English Skills Can Shape Your Child's Future
Strong English skills are about more than just passing an exam; they're the foundation for success. It's the ability to communicate ideas clearly, think critically, and understand the world more deeply. These are the skills your child will use to master creative writing for the 11+, analyse complex texts like 'An Inspector Calls' for their GCSEs at Thurstable, and later, write a compelling university application to places like the University of Essex and beyond.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at Colchester Royal Grammar or County High. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can help your child build the specific comprehension, grammar, and creative writing skills needed for these selective exams, while also working on their confidence and exam technique.
My child is at Thurstable. Can a tutor help them get the top GCSE English grades for university?
Yes. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can provide focused support to help your child aim for the highest grades. They can help consolidate classroom learning, revise key texts, and perfect the skills needed to write top-scoring essays, which is great preparation for A-Levels and university applications.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have a first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much do online English tutors in Tiptree cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically start from £15 an hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of demand. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting just 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.

How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. As they start to grasp tricky topics and see their skills improve, their self-belief naturally grows. This boost in confidence often has a positive impact on their other subjects too.
My child finds analysing Macbeth really difficult. Can a tutor focus just on that?
Of course. That's the main benefit of one-to-one tutoring. The lessons are completely tailored to your child. The tutor can spend as much time as needed on specific areas, whether it's understanding Shakespearean language, analysing quotes, or structuring an essay.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths by discussing it directly with your chosen tutor.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for a tutor, send them a message to check their availability, and you can book your first session. Many families are able to find a tutor and have their first lesson within a day or two.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like music or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core academic ones. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with Python coding, or even learn a new language, you can find brilliant, expert tutors on our platform.
