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 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!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Samuel Whitbread Academy. Can a tutor help them keep up in a large class?
Absolutely. This is one of the key benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a large class, it can be difficult for a teacher to give every student individual attention. A personal tutor can focus entirely on your child's needs, reinforcing what they've learned in school, filling any knowledge gaps, and giving them the confidence to ask questions they might be hesitant to ask in front of their peers.
We're aiming for top A-Level results and a competitive university like Cambridge. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience helping students with university applications and preparing for the academic rigour of A-Levels. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve top grades and create a strong application that stands out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child in Shefford?
Finding the right fit is easy. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check qualifications, and see reviews from other parents just like you. Many tutors also offer a short introductory message so you can get a feel for their teaching style before booking a lesson. It's all about finding someone your child connects with.
How can an online tutor help my child with their GCSE English essays?
Our tutors can break down essay writing into manageable steps. They can help your child with everything from planning and structuring their arguments to finding the right quotes and analysing them effectively. This focused support can make a huge difference in their grades and confidence.
What if we don't click with the first English tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
Are your tutors qualified and safe to work with my child?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must pass an interview and have a valid DBS background check before they can teach on our platform.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on the tutors' profiles, so there are no surprises.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. A one-to-one environment can do wonders for a child's confidence. Our tutors are patient and supportive, creating a safe space where your child can learn at their own pace and ask questions without fear of judgement. We've helped over 200,000 students feel more positive about their learning.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It has all the tools needed for an engaging and effective lesson, right from your home.
How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long, but this is flexible. Most parents find that a regular weekly session works best to build momentum and see consistent progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works for your child and your family.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all core academic subjects, we also have expert tutors for a wide range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn creative writing, public speaking, coding, or even how to play the guitar, you can find a brilliant tutor on Tutorful.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going. Seeing your child's confidence grow and their school results improve is the best indicator of success.
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.
