The jump to secondary school English can be a big one. Suddenly, there are complex texts and analysis to get their head around. If your child is starting to switch off, or you just have a nagging feeling they need more support, it can be hard to know what to do next.
You don't have to figure it out alone. Our Tutor Finder asks a few simple questions about your child and how they learn. We then find a small selection of KS3 English specialists we'd genuinely recommend for them. Even when you cannot help with the subject, you can still help them.

When the subject clicks, everything changes. Your child starts to feel more confident speaking up in class, tackling homework, and building the foundations they'll need for their GCSEs. It’s about feeling capable again.

Ian has been a very supportive and versatile tutor for Agastya, helping him with both English and Maths during his GCSE preparation.
He was particularly helpful with exam technique, written responses and building confidence in English, where Agastya achieved Grade 9. He also provided valuable support in Maths, helping him work through more challenging areas and achieve a strong Grade 8.

Lindsey C
I highly recommend my son’s English teacher, who has supported him through several years of online lessons in preparation for his GCSEs. Lindsey has been incredibly helpful and patient throughout, especially in the earlier stages, where she provided strong guidance and built his confidence. As he progressed, she gradually encouraged him to work more independently, which really helped develop his skills and self-belief.
As we approached his GCSE exams, we requested an increase in lesson time from one hour to two hours per week. Despite her very busy schedule, she was flexible and made this possible for us, which we truly appreciated.
She has always been approachable and willing to discuss my son’s progress whenever needed, providing clear and constructive feedback. My son is dyslexic, and she has been exceptionally supportive, knowledgeable, and professional in tailoring her teaching to his needs.
Most importantly, my son genuinely enjoyed attending her lessons, which speaks volumes about her teaching style and ability to engage students.
I would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and effective English teacher.

Daniel H
We had really happy to found Daniel as English teacher to my son Lucas. my son really enjoys the lessons and really looking forward to class. Daniel is very nice, patient , and highly structured in the way he teaches. After just few lessons, my son has already learnt a lot. Daniel was able to identify the problems that were affecting my son's English results before and clearly explained how to improve them which has given him much more confident. We truly appreciate Daniel's professional approach, clear guidance, and encouragement. Highly recommend for students who want to improve their English skills and writing ability.
