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 Norton Hill/Somervale. Can we find a tutor familiar with the GCSE curriculum they follow?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience with the AQA, Edexcel and OCR exam boards used in UK schools. When you message a tutor, you can ask about their specific experience with the curriculum your child is studying to ensure it's a perfect match.
We're hoping our child will apply to the University of Bath or Bristol. Can a tutor help with more than just their schoolwork?
Yes, definitely. Beyond helping them secure the necessary GCSE and A-Level grades, our English tutors can be a fantastic resource for university applications. They can help your child develop the analytical and writing skills needed for a compelling personal statement, and even practise for interviews.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right personal connection is key to successful learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check tutors' qualifications on their profiles. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable with.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of demand, but start from £15 per hour. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions.
How can a tutor help my child if they lack confidence in English?
Confidence is often the biggest barrier to progress. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their grades.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check before they can teach on our platform. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have expert tutors for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar, to practical skills like coding, or even learning a new language for fun.
My child finds analysing poetry really difficult. Can a tutor help with that specifically?
Yes, absolutely. That's the great thing about one-to-one tutoring. If your child is struggling with poetry analysis, their tutor can dedicate entire lessons to it, working through poems from their syllabus, practising annotation techniques, and building their confidence in understanding complex language.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which most students find is the perfect amount of time. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your tutor to find what works best for your child's concentration and your family's schedule.
What if we need to cancel a lesson?
We understand that life can be unpredictable. You can cancel or reschedule a lesson for free, as long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice. You can manage all your bookings easily through your Tutorful account.
