Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends Sandy Secondary School. Can a tutor help them prepare for their English GCSEs?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE English specialists. They can create a tailored plan to help your child with the specific requirements of their exam board, focusing on areas like essay writing, textual analysis, and exam technique to help them feel prepared and confident.
We're worried about entry requirements for Sixth Form after Stratton Upper School. Can a tutor help?
Yes, we can definitely help with that. A tutor can work with your child to strengthen the core English skills needed to meet and exceed Sixth Form entry requirements. They can help build a strong foundation that not only secures their place but also prepares them for success in their A-Levels.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It’s easy to find the perfect match on our platform. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to make sure you find someone you all feel comfortable with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement. Tutors can break down tricky topics and celebrate small wins, which gradually builds your child's self-belief and encourages them to participate more in class.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every applicant and are very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does online English tutoring in Potton cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
Can tutoring really improve my child's GCSE English grade?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. Our focused, one-to-one approach has been shown to improve a child's GCSE results by up to two grades. By targeting the specific areas your child finds difficult, a tutor can help them make real, measurable progress.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons are held in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a shared whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing. A tutor might work through a practice essay with your child, analyse a poem on the whiteboard, or focus on specific grammar exercises, all tailored to your child's learning plan.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which we find is perfect for maintaining focus and making good progress. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child and your family's schedule.
How quickly can I find a tutor?
You can find and book a tutor in just a few clicks. Many of our tutors respond within a couple of hours, and you could have your child's first lesson arranged for as early as today.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects! Beyond core curriculum like English and Maths, you can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to modern languages and university-level support.
