Why Strong English Skills Open Doors for Your Child
A great grade in English isn't just a number on a certificate; it's a key that unlocks future opportunities. It's essential for getting into the A-Level courses they want and for crafting a compelling UCAS application that catches the eye of universities. Strong analytical and communication skills – the kind your child develops when they're breaking down a tricky Shakespeare quote or structuring a persuasive essay – are exactly what admissions tutors and future employers look for.

Personalised English Support to Help Your Child Stand Out
The right tutor does more than just teach a subject; they build a partnership with your child. We know how important it is to find the right fit, which is why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Our hand-picked tutors take the time to understand your child's unique learning style, pinpointing the exact areas where they need a bit of extra help, whether it's understanding poetry or mastering grammar. Every one-to-one lesson is built around your child's needs. If they find analysing 'Macbeth' tricky, their tutor can spend the whole session breaking down key quotes until it clicks. This tailored approach is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade, and for GCSEs, we can help boost results by up to two grades. It’s about turning 'I can't do this' into 'I understand'. Finding that extra support shouldn't add more stress to your family's schedule. With online tutoring, there's no need to travel.

John M
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. John is helping her to build confidence, structure exam answers and prepare effectively for revision, and I feel the tutoring will be very beneficial in the run-up to her exams.

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.

My child is hoping to study at a top university like Manchester or Liverpool. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. A strong English grade is fundamental for many degree courses. Our tutors can help your child master the analytical and essay-writing skills needed for top A-Level grades and guide them in crafting a compelling personal statement for their UCAS application.
We're worried about the competition from schools in Shrewsbury and Chester. How can a tutor give my child an edge?
One-to-one tutoring provides focused attention that's often not possible in a busy classroom. A tutor can identify and strengthen your child's specific weak spots, building their confidence and deepening their subject knowledge to help them perform at their very best and stand out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple to find a great match. You can filter tutors by subject and level, watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and a teaching style that will click with your child.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. There are no contracts or hidden fees. You simply pay as you go for the lessons you book, giving you complete flexibility.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a secure and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. 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.
Are the tutors qualified and have they been background checked?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background checked. We also have a rigorous selection process and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
A one-to-one setting provides a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors help students build self-belief alongside their subject knowledge.
Can a tutor help with specific exam techniques for GCSEs?
Definitely. Many of our English tutors are experts in exam preparation. They can help your child understand mark schemes, structure their answers effectively, and manage their time in the exam hall to help them achieve the best possible grade.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of students who have regular lessons improve by at least one academic grade.
My child's schedule is already packed. How flexible is tutoring?
Very flexible. Because tutoring is online, you save on travel time. You can view each tutor's availability on their profile and book sessions that fit around your family's other commitments, whether that's after school, on weekends, or during school holidays.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking a new language.
