Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic English Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child attends Thomas Alleyne's. Can a tutor help them meet the school's high expectations in English?

Absolutely. Many parents in Uttoxeter use Tutorful for this exact reason. Our tutors can work in line with the school curriculum, helping your child consolidate what they've learned, tackle challenging homework, and prepare for exams with confidence.

We're hoping for a competitive course at Keele or Staffordshire University. Can a tutor help with that?

Yes. A strong foundation in English is crucial for university applications. Our tutors can help your child develop the advanced essay writing and critical analysis skills needed for A-Levels and beyond, strengthening their UCAS application for competitive courses.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

It's easy to find the perfect match. You can filter tutors by price, availability, and experience. Watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send a message to a few to see who feels like the best fit for your child's personality and learning needs.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can expect to pay between £25 and £45 per hour. You can easily filter by price on our platform to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked with an enhanced DBS check. We also personally interview every tutor and are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child can work through exam papers, analyse texts, and plan essays with their tutor in real-time.

My child really lacks confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?

Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. The one-to-one environment provides a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Celebrating small wins and breaking down topics into manageable steps can make a huge difference to their self-belief.

Can a tutor help with a specific GCSE text like 'An Inspector Calls'?

Yes, absolutely. Our English tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum. They can help your child dive deep into specific texts, understand key themes, analyse characters, and practice exam-style questions to help them feel fully prepared.

Do you only offer academic subjects like English?

While we have fantastic tutors for all core academic subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. Your child could learn a musical instrument like the guitar, pick up a new language, or even learn practical skills like coding.

How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?

Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session a week is a great way to build momentum and see steady progress, but the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your tutor.

How do I pay for lessons?

Paying for lessons is straightforward and secure. You add your payment details to your account, and after each lesson is completed, payment is automatically processed. You'll never need to handle cash or worry about remembering to pay.
