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.

The Right Support to Help Your Child Thrive in English
Finding the right person to support your child is everything. That’s why we’re so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Our tutors are experts in their field who understand that every child learns differently. They take the time to get to know your child, building a positive and encouraging partnership where they feel comfortable asking questions and making progress at their own pace. Every lesson is built around your child's specific goals. If they need to focus on exam technique for a school entrance paper, the session will be tailored to that. If they're struggling with poetry analysis for their GCSEs, their tutor will create a plan to build their skills and confidence. This focused approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, with many GCSE students improving by up to two grades. With our online platform, you can find the perfect background-checked tutor for your child without ever leaving home. Lessons are flexible and can be scheduled to fit around your family's busy life, making it simple to get the support your child needs, right when they need it.

Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

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.
