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
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple to find a great match. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking a session to make sure you've found the perfect fit.
My child is preparing for entrance exams for Ripon Grammar School. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience with 11+ and grammar school entrance exams. They can help your child build the core comprehension, writing, and verbal reasoning skills needed, as well as work on exam technique and confidence.
We live near Ripon. Can a tutor help my teenager with A-Level English for a university application?
Definitely. Our A-Level English tutors are experts in the curriculum and can provide targeted support to help your child analyse complex texts, refine their essay writing, and aim for the top grades needed for their university choices.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study, but you can easily see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything 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 one-to-one with their tutor.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the right person for your child. 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 if my child has lost confidence in English?
Confidence is key to learning. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them rebuild their self-belief.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects, we also offer lessons in a wide range of other skills! You can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding in Python to new languages and music theory.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which we find works perfectly for keeping students engaged. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. You can easily manage your child's schedule through our platform. Just be sure to give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or rearrange a session.
How quickly can my child start learning?
Very quickly! Many of our tutors can be booked for a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to introduce yourselves, and you can arrange your first session directly with them.
