English Tutoring: Common Questions
English private tutor: Language, Literature, or both
Parents searching for a private tutor in English are not all booking the same lesson. A KS2 English tutor works on reading, spelling and writing. An 11 Plus English tutor works on comprehension and the writing tasks in the entrance exam. A GCSE English private tutor has to know whether the child is sitting Language, Literature, or both, and which set texts the school uses.
Read the profile before you assume one person covers every paper. If you also need maths, open private maths tutors rather than stretching one profile past the subjects it lists. For entrance exams, start with what the 11 Plus tests. New families can meet the tutor in a free 15-minute trial.
