Why Strong English Skills are Key for Your Child's Future
English is more than just another subject; it’s the foundation for success across the curriculum and in life. The ability to analyse a quote from 'Macbeth', structure a persuasive argument, or understand complex texts helps your child excel in everything from History to Science. These skills are essential for achieving the grades needed for A-Levels at colleges like Holy Cross and for building a strong foundation for any future career.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're preparing for entrance exams for schools like Bury Grammar. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in entrance exam preparation, including 11+. You can filter your search for tutors with this specific experience and discuss your child's needs with them directly to ensure they are the right fit.
My child is aiming for Holy Cross College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grades?
Definitely. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can help your child focus on the specific areas needed to boost their grade. They can help with everything from essay writing and exam technique to analysing texts, which can make all the difference in achieving the results they need.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles to learn about their experience, qualifications, and teaching style. Many tutors also have introductory videos to give you a better sense of their personality. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are 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, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space works wonders for confidence. When your child has a tutor who understands their learning style and celebrates their progress, they feel more comfortable asking questions and tackling topics they once found difficult.
How do you check your tutors?
We take safety and quality very seriously. Every tutor is interviewed by our team and must provide a valid DBS check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join our platform.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's work?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach means you can see progress quickly. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Consistent weekly lessons are the best way to build momentum and see lasting results.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, a new language, or even skills like coding, you can find an expert tutor on Tutorful.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about what they enjoy, what they find tricky in English, and what they'd like to achieve. It's a relaxed session designed to build a good relationship from the start.
Are the lessons recorded?
Yes, all lessons can be recorded. This is a great feature that allows your child to revisit topics and review explanations from their tutor whenever they need to, which is especially helpful for revision.
