Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with 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

asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a grammar school in Chelmsford or Colchester. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ entrance exam preparation. They can help your child build confidence in key areas like creative writing, comprehension, and verbal reasoning, giving them the tools they need to perform at their best.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in Witham schools?
While our tutors are based across the UK, they are experts in the National Curriculum. They can tailor lessons to support what your child is learning in their Witham school, helping to reinforce classroom topics and fill in any gaps.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents like you, and watch their short introductory videos. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat, so you and your child can talk to them before booking to make sure it's a good match.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the right fit. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your 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 much does online English tutoring cost in Witham?
Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are displayed clearly on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and interviewed by our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted professional.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can do wonders for a child's confidence. In a safe space where it's okay to make mistakes, they can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class, helping them feel more capable and positive about their learning.

How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them directly through the platform. The one-to-one nature of the lessons means the tutor gets a clear understanding of your child's strengths and the areas they need to work on.
How long is a typical online lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time for focused learning. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects like English and Maths, you can also find tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to modern languages. It's all about helping your child pursue their interests.
