More than just a qualification, a good English grade is a passport to your child's next steps. It's the skill that underpins almost every other subject and is essential for securing a place on their chosen A-Level course. The ability to analyse texts like 'Macbeth' or write a compelling argument is exactly what top universities like Bournemouth and Exeter look for. We're proud that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with us, and for GCSEs, that can mean a jump of up to two grades – often the difference needed to secure their future.

John has been an excellent English IGCSE tutor. He is very organised, enthusiastic and communicates clearly. He quickly built a strong rapport with my daughter, putting her at ease, and she is really enjoying the lessons and getting a lot out of them.

Ben has been a great tutor for my 16 year old doing his English GCSEs. Ben's tuition has improved my son's grade from a 4 up to between a 5-8, depending on the topic, in just a few months. He has also hugely improved his confidence, and his writing ability in other subjects such as History has improved as well. Ben has a relaxed, respectful and friendly approach that my son has really gotten on with, and he is enjoying feeling more confident for his English Language and Literature exams this year. I highly recommend Ben for your child's tuition.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for Weymouth College?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the grades they need for further education. They can focus specifically on the GCSE English curriculum to help your child achieve a grade 5 or above, which is often a requirement for A-Level courses at colleges like Weymouth College.
My child hopes to study at Bournemouth or Exeter. Can a tutor help with this?
Definitely. A strong foundation in English is critical for university applications. Our tutors can help your child develop the advanced analytical and communication skills that top universities like Bournemouth and Exeter look for, and can even help with personal statement writing for their UCAS application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a free video chat, which is a great way for you and your child to get to know them and make sure it's a good fit before booking a lesson.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £15 to £40 per hour. You can filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has undergone a thorough background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to ensure your child has the best learning experience, so 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 can a tutor help build my child's confidence in English?
One-to-one support in a safe, encouraging environment makes a huge difference. Tutors can break down topics your child finds tricky, celebrate their progress, and show them they are capable of succeeding. This personalised attention is often the key to unlocking their confidence.
Can we get help with specific texts, like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Yes. One of the great benefits of one-to-one tutoring is that lessons can be tailored to exactly what your child is studying. Whether it's analysing characters in 'An Inspector Calls' or understanding the context of the Power and Conflict poetry anthology, their tutor can provide focused support.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. Consistent weekly lessons often lead to noticeable improvements in both confidence and understanding within just a few weeks.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we support core academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have amazing tutors who can teach life-long skills and hobbies. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Sessions are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss your needs directly with your tutor if you feel a shorter or longer session would be more beneficial for your child.
