Online English Tutors in Urmston to Build Your Child's Grammar School Confidence
We understand the pressure that comes with preparing for the 11+ in Urmston. When places at schools like Urmston Grammar and Stretford Grammar are so competitive, it's natural to worry if your child's English skills, especially in creative writing and comprehension, are strong enough to stand out.
Finding the right support can feel overwhelming, but you're not alone. A dedicated one-to-one English tutor can work with your child to build their skills and, just as importantly, their confidence. It’s a partnership designed to help them walk into that exam feeling prepared and capable.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for Urmston Grammar. Can I find a tutor experienced with the 11+?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in entrance exam preparation, including the 11+. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specifically mention experience with grammar school entry and the Trafford CEM test, and you can message them beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs.
Are tutors familiar with the English requirements for the Trafford grammar school system?
Many of our tutors have extensive experience helping students prepare for the specific demands of the Trafford 11+ exam. They understand the high standards for comprehension, creative writing, and verbal reasoning required and can tailor lessons to build the exact skills your child needs to feel confident.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to ensure you find the perfect match.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the right person for your child. That's why we have our 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 does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can easily find an experienced tutor who fits your family's budget.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has the tutor's full attention. They can ask questions without feeling shy and work through problems at their own pace. This personalised support helps turn 'I can't do this' into 'I can', which makes a huge difference.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's work?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and attitude towards English within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Can a tutor help with GCSE or A-Level English too?
Definitely. We have a wide range of English tutors who specialise in all levels, from primary school and the 11+ right through to GCSE, A-Level, and even university-level English. You can filter your search to find a specialist for the exact level your child needs.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we're well-known for academic subjects, we believe in learning for life. We have expert tutors who teach a huge range of skills, including musical instruments like guitar and piano, coding languages like Python, and even new hobbies. There's something for everyone.
What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring companies?
We focus on finding the perfect match between a tutor and your child. With over 4,100 reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, parents trust us to provide high-quality, personalised, and safe online tutoring that is tailored to their child's individual needs and helps them succeed.
