Why a Solid Grasp of English Opens Doors for Your Child
English is more than just another subject on the timetable; it’s the foundation for so much of your child's future. Strong English skills aren't just about analysing a poem or writing an essay on 'An Inspector Calls'. They give your child the ability to communicate clearly, think critically, and build a convincing argument. These are the skills they'll need for everything from their college applications and university essays to succeeding in their future career.

Personalised English Support, Perfectly Matched to Your Child
The right tutor does more than just teach; they get to know your child. They'll take the time to understand how your child learns best, what their specific goals are, and where they might be feeling stuck. We help you find that perfect match from our community of top tutors. We're very selective – only 1 in 8 applicants make it onto our platform – and every tutor is background-checked, so you can feel completely reassured. With one-to-one tuition, every single lesson is built around your child. If they need to spend a whole session working on essay structure for their GCSEs, that's what they'll do. If they need to build confidence in analysing quotes from 'Macbeth', their tutor will focus on that. This tailored approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade – because the learning is all about them. Fitting extra support into a busy family schedule can be a challenge, but online tutoring makes it simple. There’s no travel, no stress – just effective, one-to-one learning from the comfort of your own home. You can find a tutor whose availability matches yours, making it easy to schedule lessons around school, clubs, and family time.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How do I find the best online English tutor for my child in Wokingham?
It’s simple! You can use our search filters to browse tutors who specialise in English. You can read their profiles, watch their introduction videos, and check out reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a free chat beforehand so you can make sure they’re the right fit for your child before booking.
My child attends The Emmbrook School. Can I find a tutor familiar with their curriculum?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience with specific school curricula. You can mention your child's school when messaging tutors to find someone who has the right experience to support them effectively.
We are thinking about the 11+ for Reading School. Can a tutor help with preparation?
Yes. We have many tutors who specialise in entrance exam preparation, including the 11+. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in helping children build the skills and confidence needed for these exams.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, and you'll see these clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an excellent tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on Tutorful has passed a background check. We are also very selective, only accepting 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know that the right connection is key to great learning. 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 the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. There's video chat, an interactive whiteboard for brainstorming ideas or correcting grammar, and a space to share documents like essays or worksheets. It's a really engaging and effective way to learn.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. A tutor provides a safe, patient space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps your child build their self-belief one step at a time.
My child finds analysing poetry really difficult. Can a tutor focus on that?
Of course. That's the main benefit of one-to-one tuition. The lessons are completely tailored to your child's needs. If they need to spend several sessions just on poetry, their tutor can create a specific plan to help them master it.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it’s completely flexible. You can discuss what's best for your child's goals with your tutor, whether that's more frequent lessons ahead of an exam or fortnightly sessions for general support.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. We encourage tutors to provide feedback after each lesson, and you can always message your tutor to discuss how your child is getting on. It’s a partnership, and keeping you in the loop is an important part of that.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of skills beyond the school curriculum! From learning to play the guitar or piano to mastering languages like Python for coding, you can find expert tutors to support your child's hobbies and passions too.
