Friendly and Experienced English Tutor
My name is Andrea Phillips and I am currently a Masters student studying Clinical Psychotherapy at King's College London. I received a first-class Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Bath in 2024 and have spent the past year working in schools. Prior to university, I graduated from Hockerill Anglo-European College in Hertfordshire with a 40/45 in the International Baccalaureate. I have tutored English and Mandarin since I was in Year 11, and have taught children from the age of 3 to 16. I love teaching and helping, especially as being a student myself I can relate to students...
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.

Lovely tutor, very helpful and concise with the additional support, as well as making sure I was confident on the topics we discussed. Very interactive and informative with making sure my thesis and essay writing structure was at a highest level it could be, gave me a really good insight into top band essay skills that I will be using from now on!!

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

I would highly recommend Lee. He has supported my son in increasing his understanding of GCSE poetry, personalising each lesson to meet his needs and gives timely feedback after each lesson. My son is making great progress and I have seen increased confidence since he has started.

Anita S
Anita really helps me with English - especially by going through the mark scheme in greater detail than in class, which is really useful when it comes to improving my essays. She also has helped with improving my analysis, providing me with stronger context and helping me add depth to it. I really recommend her as she is great!

Cerise S
Cerise has been such a lovely and supportive English tutor for Eisa. She really helped him find structure and confidence in his lessons and I could see the difference in how he approached his reading and writing. She always came well prepared with materials and gave clear guidance on what to work on..for example, getting him to read A Christmas Carol and pick out key quotes and themes to discuss together.
Eisa really enjoyed her lessons and found her teaching style easy to follow. She’s been patient, encouraging and genuinely invested in his progress. We’ve really appreciated all her help!

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child is preparing for the 11+ for the grammar schools in Torquay and Plymouth. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. This is a very common reason parents in Kingsbridge come to us. You can find tutors who specialise in 11+ preparation, focusing specifically on the verbal reasoning, comprehension, and creative writing skills your child will need to feel confident and prepared for the exam.
We're thinking ahead to GCSEs at Kingsbridge Community College. Can a tutor help my child aim for top grades to get into a university like Exeter?
Yes, many of our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the higher grades at GCSE. They can provide targeted support with everything from essay writing and exam technique to analysing specific set texts, helping your child build the skills needed to create a strong university application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles, watch introductory videos, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few tutors and sending them a message to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding a great personality match.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child just needs a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection. It's a convenient and effective way to learn from home.
Are your tutors properly vetted?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and has their ID and qualifications checked. They also undergo an enhanced DBS background check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you just pay for the lessons you book.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
My child has lost confidence in English. Can tutoring help with that?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. In a supportive, private setting, your child can ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. Tutors are brilliant at building self-esteem by celebrating small wins and breaking down difficult topics, which often makes the biggest difference.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our experience shows that consistent, personalised support makes a real impact. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Can we get help with a specific book or topic, like GCSE poetry?
Of course. That's the beauty of one-to-one tutoring. If your child is struggling with a particular area, like analysing unseen poetry or understanding a specific Shakespeare play, the tutor can dedicate entire lessons to that topic until your child feels secure.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session a week is a great rhythm for consistent progress, but you can arrange whatever frequency works best for you and your child with your tutor. It's completely flexible.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or music?
While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have experts in hundreds of other areas. Your child could learn anything from coding in Python and Spanish to playing the guitar, all on the same platform.
