I’ve been taking English lessons since May 2024 to improve my skills, and I couldn’t be more pleased with Eleanor. She has extensive experience teaching English to non-native speakers, having lived in multiple countries. This global perspective makes her exceptionally skilled at understanding the challenges we face when learning English.
What I appreciate most is how she tailors each lesson based on my progress, adjusting the content to ensure that it aligns with what I need to work on. She also uses a variety of teaching tools that make the lessons engaging and diverse, which keeps me motivated and excited to learn.
Her patience is unmatched, and she always takes the time to discuss the topics I want to focus on. Whether it’s specific areas I need to improve or particular subjects I’m interested in, she’s always accommodating.
I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their English skills – she’s been a fantastic teacher!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a top independent school in Kensington. Can a tutor help with their specific entrance exams?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in entrance exam preparation, including the 11+ and 13+. They have experience with the formats and standards of leading London schools and can create a tailored plan to help your child build the specific English skills and confidence they need.
We're hoping for a place at a university like Imperial College or LSE. Can a tutor support the English level needed?
Yes, we have many tutors with experience in helping students reach the high level of academic English required for top UK universities. They can help with everything from essay writing and critical analysis to presentation skills, ensuring your child is fully prepared for the demands of degree-level study.
How do I choose the right English as a Foreign Language tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. Look for a tutor whose experience aligns with your goals, whether that's exam preparation, building conversational confidence, or general fluency.
How much does an English as a Foreign Language tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, so you can easily find someone who fits your budget. The cost for each tutor is clearly displayed on their profile.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have 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.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence in speaking English?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, encouraging space for your child to practise speaking without the fear of making mistakes in front of a whole class. Tutors use conversation, role-play, and positive feedback to help them feel more comfortable and fluent when talking with friends and teachers.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from anywhere, all you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can message your tutor at any time to get feedback on how your child is doing. Many tutors provide regular progress updates to parents, and you can work together to ensure your child is on track to meet their goals.
How long will it take for my child to see an improvement?
This varies for each child, but the benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that it's focused entirely on their needs, which often leads to faster progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
What's the difference between EFL, ESL and EAL?
They are very similar! EFL (English as a Foreign Language) is typically for students learning in a non-English-speaking country. EAL (English as an Additional Language) or ESL (English as a Second Language) is for those learning within an English-speaking country, like the UK. Our tutors can help with all of these.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
We offer a huge range of subjects! Beyond core academics, your child can learn anything from coding and music theory to a new language or even public speaking. It's a great way to support their hobbies and personal development alongside their schoolwork.
