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...

Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study A-Levels at Strode College. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. This is a very common goal for parents we support in and around Wells. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the GCSE English grades needed for competitive sixth forms and colleges like Strode. They can focus specifically on the skills required to move up a grade boundary, whether that's in essay writing, textual analysis, or exam technique.
We're aiming for a top university like Bristol or Bath. Can a tutor help with the skills needed for that?
Yes. The analytical and critical thinking skills developed for GCSE and A-Level English are fundamental for university applications and study. A tutor can help your child learn how to articulate complex ideas and build compelling arguments in their writing – skills that are highly valued by leading universities like Bristol and Bath.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from thousands of other parents. Many tutors have specific experience with exam boards like AQA or Edexcel. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to ensure you find the perfect match.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for success. If for any reason you and your child feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match, just let us know. 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.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked with an enhanced DBS check and must provide professional or academic references. We interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and examples, and a document uploader. Your child can access it from any device, making learning convenient and effective.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed on their profiles. Prices typically start from £20 per hour and vary based on the tutor's experience and level of study. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor creates a supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. This personal encouragement often leads to a newfound confidence that helps them in all of their subjects, not just English.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
It varies for each child, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of students who have regular lessons with us improve by at least one grade.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson per week is ideal for steady progress. However, you can arrange lessons as frequently as you need. You might want to increase the frequency in the run-up to exams or for specific projects. It's completely flexible and you can discuss it with your tutor.
What happens if we need to cancel a lesson?
We understand that life can be unpredictable. You can cancel or reschedule a lesson for free, as long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice. You can manage all of your bookings easily through your Tutorful account.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we have experts in over 300 academic subjects, we also offer tutoring in a wide range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak a new language to coding in Python, we can help your child explore their passions beyond the curriculum.
