Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
💷 How much is an English tutor per hour in the UK?
🧒 What is the best age to get a tutor?
There is no typically “best” age to find a tutor - the decision to find an English tutor comes down to the individual's needs and goals. If you find your child is struggling to grasp English concepts in school, or that their grades aren't where they need to be, it might be time to consider finding a tutor. If you´re studying towards the likes of GCSE English or A-Level English, a tutor can help you understand and keep on top of the course content. However, you don't necessarily have to be struggling with English in order to hire a tutor. Some people may also find a tutor to help them excel in the subject, if they have particular goals that require a strong, in-depth understanding of English.
🧐 Is it worth it to get an English tutor?
The answer to this question is a resounding yes. No matter what your goals are, hiring an English tutor can be extremely beneficial in helping you achieve them. Whether you're struggling with grammar, English comprehension, or you´re an English Literature student scrambling to understand the sonnets of Shakespeare, a private tutor can help you excel in English.
🧑🏫 What does an English tutor do?
An English tutor can provide personalised, one-to-one classes that cater to your specific needs and goals. This individual attention is something that a teacher may not always be able to provide you in a busy classroom environment.
This one-to-one tuition also allows for open communication where you can discuss any problems and doubts with your private English tutor, allowing you to gain a deeper understanding of the subject.
Finally, an English tutor who is truly passionate about the subject can transmit their love of English to their students, increasing their confidence and their motivation to succeed in English.
🤷 How do I choose a private English tutor?
When choosing an English tutor, you need to think about what you want to get out of private tuition. For example, if you´re struggling with the likes of poetry and novels, a tutor specialising in English Literature may be the best option for you. If you´re a student of GCSE English working towards assessments and exams, you should ensure that your tutor is experienced in tutoring other students at GCSE level. If you´re unsure whether a tutor will be worth the investment, you can always ask about their qualifications and experience, as well as if they have any reviews or testimonials from past pupils, before you make a concrete decision.
Excelling in English with a private tutor in Greater London
The importance of studying English
English is without a doubt one of the most important, if not the most important, subjects that you can study in school. Having a solid understanding of English is vital for your studies and your future career. Without English, you would not be able to communicate effectively in other subjects. For example, in subjects like history and sociology, you often need to write essays which require strong writing skills, and in the likes of maths, you require English skills in order to effectively explain maths concepts.
This is why if you´re struggling with certain aspects of English, hiring a private English tutor can be hugely beneficial.
How to find a tutor
Once you´ve decided that you want to hire a tutor, you may be wondering where to actually find a tutor. There are a number of ways you can go about finding a tutor:
- Ask for recommendations. You can always ask your teachers in school, friends and family members if they have any recommendations for a private English tutor. They may have experience with a tutor, or connections with someone who has, and can point you in the right direction.
- Check local tuition centres. You can always check at local tuition centres in your area to see if there are any available English tutors that you can connect with. Many also offer group tutoring which can bring down the cost of your English lessons.
- Use online platforms. Many online platforms such as FindTutors allow you to connect with tutors in your area. You can check on the tutors´profiles for their prices, availability and whether they have any reviews from past students. You can also find a tutor offering online English tuition.
Benefits of online English tutoring
Nowadays we rely more and more on the internet with many aspects of our everyday lives moving to the digital realm. Tutoring is no exception and many tutors are now opting to offer private lessons online. There are a host of benefits that can come with online English tutoring.
- You have access to a wider range of tutors. Choosing to take classes online means that you´re not just limited to English tutors near you in Greater London. With online tuition, you can find the best English tutors from all over the UK.
- Online lessons allow for greater flexibility. With online English lessons, you don't have to travel to and from your tutor´s home or a tuition centre. Instead you can carry out classes from the comfort of your own home and within your own availability.
- You can access online resources and record lessons. There are a number of online platforms available to carry out online tuition. Through these online platforms, your tutor can easily share their screen with you, as well as many online resources to use. What's more, having English classes online allows you to record your sessions, meaning you can go back to them later to clarify a point or for revision.
Can a tutor help with GCSE English?
Absolutely! Hiring a tutor can be a huge help if you´re studying GCSE English. It's important to clarify before you choose a tutor whether you need help with English Language or English Literature classes, as they tend to be separate from GCSE onwards. While most English tutors have an understanding of both subjects, one may be more specialised in one than the other. Therefore it's important to clarify from the beginning what you need help with.
If you´re seeking a tutor for English Language classes, your tutor can help you with the likes of grammar, English comprehension, and can help you understand how to prepare for and how to use your time effectively in your GCSE English exams.
If it´s English Literature you need help with, your tutor can help you understand how to analyse novels, poetry or plays, how to tackle essays and how to approach the GCSE English Literature exam.
The difference between English Language and English Literature classes
As previously mentioned, when it comes to GCSE level, you'll often find that English Language classes are compulsory, but in many cases you´ll also have to study English Literature. Many struggle to understand what the differences are between these two subjects.
With standard English, you´ll focus on developing a variety of key skills including English comprehension, writing skills and speaking skills. You´ll learn how to analyse various texts and types of language including literary, journalistic, informative etc. Studying and understanding English is vital as it gives you the basis of communicating in many other subjects, allowing you to progress in both your studies and in your future career.
English Literature on the other hand, focuses solely on the analysis and understanding of literary texts including novels, drama and poetry. English Literature can allow students to develop their critical thinking, analytical skills and creativity.
In conclusion, whether you want to improve or excel in English, finding an English tutor near you in Greater London is a great first step in mastering the subject. Take the first step today and watch how your grades soar!
