Sophie C
Experienced English English Literature and Language tutor.
Hello! My name is Sophie and I graduated from Durham University in English Literature in June 2024. I decided to study English Literature at university because I've always loved reading books and discussing them at length. Reading and analysing books gives us a better understanding of the world we operate within, human psychology, and the past. Outside of English, I love to draw, knit, and embroider. I also come from a big family, so I love spending time with them when we are together. I grew up internationally and lived in several countries before finally moving back to the UK.I also write my...

Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Matthew B
Matthew has been teaching my son since September and he absolutely enjoys the lessons. He explains writing in a way my son can understand, and we’ve already seen a boost in his confidence.
Really friendly, patient, and supportive — we’re very happy with the progress so far. Highly recommend!

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.

Myles was a great tutor for my daughter, who was struggling with school. Homeschooling, alongside lessons with Myles, gave her the confidence she needed to pass Maths GCSE and get into her chosen college and course :)

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends Paignton Academy. Can a tutor help them get the English GCSE grade they need for South Devon College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in GCSE English and are experienced in helping students secure the grades they need for their chosen A-Level courses. They can focus on specific areas your child finds challenging, from exam technique to understanding set texts, to build their confidence and improve their results.
We're aiming for Churston Ferrers Grammar School. Do you have tutors experienced with the 11+ English exam?
Yes, we do. You can filter your search for tutors who have specific experience with 11+ entrance exams. They can help your child get familiar with the format and build the core comprehension, grammar, and creative writing skills needed to perform their best.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a great question. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important step.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits your family's budget.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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. It's our First Lesson Guarantee.
How can a tutor help my child build 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. As they start to grasp difficult topics and see their skills improve, their self-belief grows naturally.
What safeguarding checks do your tutors have?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every one of our tutors has been background-checked and has had their ID and qualifications verified. We take great care in selecting only trusted, professional educators for our platform.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from home.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to help you stay informed about your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going and review their lesson goals.
Can a tutor help with specific texts like 'An Inspector Calls' or poetry analysis?
Yes, definitely. Our English tutors are experts in the curriculum and can provide focused support on the specific books, plays, and poems your child is studying for their exams, helping them analyse quotes and structure high-scoring essays.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically an hour long, and most families find that one session a week works best. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what's right for your child directly with your tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to code, play the guitar, or even pick up a new language.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
