Why a Strong English Grade is So Important for Their Future
English isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for so much more. A strong grasp of English gives your child the skills to communicate clearly and think critically, whether they're analysing poetry or writing a persuasive argument. These are the skills they'll need for competitive A-Level courses, for securing a place at universities like Lancaster or Cumbria, and for building a successful career. It's about giving them the confidence to express their ideas well, for their exams and for life.

How One-to-One Tutoring Helps Your Child Thrive
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a real connection with your child. We handpick the best tutors from across the UK, with only 1 in 8 applicants making the cut. This means you can find someone who truly understands your child's learning style, pinpoints exactly where they're struggling, and creates a supportive space for them to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Every single lesson is built around your child's needs. If they find Shakespeare daunting, their tutor can spend time breaking down tricky quotes from 'Macbeth'. If they need help with grammar for their creative writing piece, the session will focus on that. This targeted approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade—for GCSE English, this focused support can help improve their results by up to two grades. Juggling school, homework, and family life is hard enough. Online tutoring fits around your schedule. You can find the perfect English tutor for your child and book lessons for times that suit you, all from the comfort of your home in Workington. No travel, no stress—just effective, convenient support to help your child achieve their goals.

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.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Lakes College. Can a tutor help them get the required English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the grades needed for college courses. They can focus on the specific skills and exam techniques your child needs to meet the entry requirements for places like Lakes College, helping them feel confident and prepared.
We're aiming for a strong GCSE result at Workington Academy. Can we find a tutor with experience in this?
Yes. You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, including their familiarity with the GCSE curriculum taught in schools like Workington Academy. Many tutors are expert GCSE specialists who know exactly what examiners are looking for and can help your child target a grade 5, 6, or even higher.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just 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 watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their teaching style and ensure they're a good fit for your child's specific needs.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This transparency allows you to find a brilliant, background-checked tutor who fits your family's budget.
Can tutoring help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Definitely. One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic way to rebuild confidence. In a safe, supportive environment, your child can ask questions they might be hesitant to ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and help them see their own progress, which is a huge confidence booster.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. There’s an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space to share documents. It’s simple to use and allows tutors to create engaging, tailored lessons that are just as effective as being in the same room.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Many families find a one-hour lesson per week is a great way to build momentum and reinforce school learning, especially in the run-up to exams. You can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview them to ensure they have the right experience and a passion for teaching. We're very selective—only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to speaking Spanish, helping your child explore their passions beyond the school curriculum.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors are great at keeping you in the loop. You can message them at any time to ask for an update. Tutors often provide feedback after each session, highlighting what your child has achieved and what they'll be working on next, so you can always see the progress they're making.
Is there proof that tutoring with Tutorful works?
Yes! We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews from parents just like you. For GCSEs, our focused support can help students improve by up to two grades, opening up more opportunities for their future.
