Amy K
Experienced English tutor
Do you find English a challenge? If so, I am sure that I am the tutor for you. My pedagogical stance is simple: encouraging creativity and engagement will stop people thinking that English is a chore. My aim is to plan lessons to develop students’ critical thinking skills and ability to put their thoughts from brain to paper. Another important aim is for me to help students feel comfortable and confident within the subject, whether that is finding quotes to analyse, understanding concepts or improving on your spelling, punctuation and grammar. I have plenty of experience helping students to excel i...

Aileen L
enthusiastic and encouraging English tutor
As an English tutor I have tutored all ages, but I specifically tutor A Level Literature where I have a wide knowledge of the curriculum - I have tutored students across all the examination boards. I am a happy and enthusiastic mature person, who believes strongly in education and the confidence and opportunities that can be gained. My first aim is to encourage and praise pupils in their work - I believe enjoyment of the subject is the key to doing well. I personally enjoy the discussions, the debates. the sparks that come with a broader knowledge of the subject. And that "light bulb" moment 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

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 S
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 aiming for Walbottle Academy or Gosforth Academy. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grade?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the grades they need for their chosen sixth form. They can focus specifically on the GCSE English syllabus, helping your child build confidence in areas they find tricky to boost their final grade.
Can a tutor help my child with a future application to a university like Newcastle or Durham?
Many of our English tutors have experience supporting students with their personal statements and wider university application skills. Building strong essay writing and critical thinking skills during their GCSEs is the perfect foundation for a compelling application later on.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message before booking. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, who has experience in the specific area you need help with, like GCSE exam technique.
How much does an online English tutor cost in Throckley?
The price for English tutors varies depending on their experience. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an excellent tutor that fits your family's budget.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must all pass a background check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might use the whiteboard to break down a tricky quote from 'An Inspector Calls' or share practice exam questions for your child to work through together.
How can an English tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space works wonders for confidence. When a child feels heard and understood by their tutor, they're more likely to ask questions and tackle challenging topics, which helps them see that they are capable of making real progress.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set number. Some parents use tutors for a short-term boost before an exam, while others prefer weekly lessons to provide consistent support throughout the school year. You can discuss your child's goals directly with your chosen tutor.
What if we don't get on with our 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 tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach skills like coding, playing the guitar, learning a new language, or even public speaking. There's something for everyone.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today! Many of our tutors respond in under an hour. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to check their availability, and you could have your first lesson booked for this week.
What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring companies?
We focus on finding the perfect one-to-one match for your child. With over 4,100+ customer reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, parents trust us to provide high-quality, personalised, and safe online learning that genuinely helps their children succeed.
