Personalised English Support to Build Confidence and Grades
We know you want the best for your child, which is why we're so selective about our tutors. We only accept 1 in 8 applicants, and every single one is interviewed and background-checked. This means your child is learning from a true expert who can get to know their unique learning style, pinpoint exactly where they need help – whether it's understanding Macbeth or improving their spelling – and build a genuine rapport that makes learning enjoyable. Imagine lessons designed just for your child. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, each session focuses on their specific goals. A tutor can spend time breaking down tricky algebra problems or practising exam techniques until your child feels completely confident.

David J
Experienced English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

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.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child will respond to.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. That's 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.

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant, accepting only 1 in 8. You can be confident that your child is learning from a vetted, high-quality professional.
