Lucy C
Experienced English Tutor - KS3, GCSE, A level, University
Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced online tutor and examiner, who has been teaching English Language & Literature and Religious Studies online since 2013. I am a fully qualified teacher with a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education.While I am a passionate tutor of each of these two subjects individually, more importantly I feel that my experience in each subject contributes something to the other. For example, my knowledge of Biblical and Greek mythological references from my study of world religions is often really useful when interpreting certain texts by Shakespeare or other non-contemporary...

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!

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to go to Strode College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the higher grades needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus specifically on the analytical and essay-writing skills that will help your child's application stand out.
We're aiming for a competitive university like Bristol or Bath. How can an English tutor support this goal?
A strong command of English is crucial for applications to top universities. A tutor can help your child develop advanced analytical skills, refine their writing style for personal statements, and build the confidence to articulate complex ideas – all of which are highly valued by admissions teams.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Many tutors have experience with specific exam boards or texts your child is studying. You can also message them before booking to ensure they’re the right fit.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find someone who fits your budget, with prices starting from as little as £15 per hour.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are ID and background-checked. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to ensure the highest quality.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space works wonders for confidence. When a child understands a topic they previously struggled with, their self-belief grows. Our tutors are experts at creating a positive learning environment where it's safe to ask questions.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach gets results. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we've seen GCSE students improve by up to two grades with consistent support.
Can I message a tutor before I book a lesson?
Of course. We encourage you to send a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs and goals. This helps you get a feel for their teaching style and ensures you find the perfect partner for your child's learning journey.
Can a tutor help if my child only struggles with one part of English, like Shakespeare?
Yes, that's one of the main benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Lessons are completely tailored, so the tutor can focus entirely on the specific areas your child finds most challenging, whether that's understanding Elizabethan language or analysing poetry.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or guitar?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. From learning to code in Python to mastering the guitar or learning a new language, you can find expert tutors to help your child explore their passions and develop new skills.
