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...

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.

Holly E
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.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

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.
