Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends a high-performing school in the Godmanchester area. Can a tutor keep up?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in supporting students from a wide range of academic backgrounds, including those in high-achieving schools. They can help consolidate your child's classroom learning, stretch them with more challenging concepts, and build the confidence they need to excel amongst their peers.
We're aiming for a top university. Can a tutor help with the advanced English skills required?
Yes. Many of our English tutors are specialists in preparing students for university applications, including those to Russell Group institutions. They can help your child develop the sophisticated critical analysis and essay-writing skills that admissions tutors look for, giving them a competitive edge.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience, such as GCSE exam boards or A-Level texts. We recommend watching their introductory videos and reading reviews from other parents to get a feel for their teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to success. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find an option that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. A tutor can break down tricky topics, celebrate small wins, and show them they are capable of making real progress, which is a huge confidence booster.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has an up-to-date DBS background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
Can a tutor help my child prepare specifically for their GCSE English exams?
Definitely. Our tutors are experts in the curriculum and can focus on specific exam boards and techniques. They can help your child master everything from analysing unseen texts to perfecting essay structures. We've seen our support help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online classroom has all the tools your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your own home.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach gets results. With consistent weekly lessons, many parents see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within a few weeks. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we cover all core academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have brilliant tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language, we have an expert who can help.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life can be busy, we get it. You can easily manage your schedule through our platform. We have a 24-hour cancellation policy, which means you can cancel or reschedule any lesson for free as long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice.
