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 Exeter College. Can a tutor help them meet the English entry requirements?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors have extensive experience helping students prepare for the step up to post-16 education. They can focus on the specific skills and grade requirements needed for competitive colleges, helping your child build a strong application and the confidence to succeed.
We're hoping for the University of Exeter in the future. How can a tutor help now?
A tutor can help build a powerful foundation in English that will serve your child well into the future. By developing strong analytical, writing, and critical thinking skills at GCSE level, they will be much better prepared for the demands of A-Levels and, eventually, a degree at a top university like Exeter.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit for your child's personality and learning needs. You can view detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to ensure you've found the perfect match.
How can a tutor help my child with their GCSE English exams?
Our tutors can provide targeted support for both GCSE English Language and Literature. They can help your child master exam technique, practise analysing unseen texts, structure essays effectively, and deepen their understanding of set texts. Our data shows that we can help students improve their final GCSE grade by up to two grades.
My child has lost confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is very common, and one-to-one tutoring is a brilliant way to rebuild confidence. In a safe, supportive environment, your child can ask questions they might not ask in class. A tutor can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and adapt their teaching style to help your child feel capable and positive about the subject again.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is 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.
Are your tutors qualified and background-checked?
Yes. We pride ourselves on having the UK's best tutors. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, and every tutor is interviewed and has their background checked before they can join our platform. You can have complete peace of mind that your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of demand. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and effective! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a microphone, a camera, and a stable internet connection.
Can I track my child's progress?
Of course. The best way to track progress is by speaking directly with your child's tutor, who will be happy to provide regular feedback on how they're getting on. You can message them at any time through the platform to discuss goals and achievements.
How long are the sessions and how often should they be?
Most sessions are one hour long. We generally find that a regular weekly session is the most effective way to build momentum and see consistent progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child and their tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or music?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, your child can learn practical skills like coding, a new language, or even how to play the guitar. There's a tutor for almost any interest.
