Find An Expert English As A Foreign Language Tutor For Learners In Exeter

Q: My child is finding it hard to keep up in classes at their new school in Exeter. Can a tutor help?

Yes, this is a very common reason parents come to us. A tutor can work with your child on the specific vocabulary and language skills needed for their other subjects, like Science or Geography. This helps them not only improve their English but also participate more fully and confidently in all their lessons.

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

We know that the right fit is so important for learning. 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.

Q: How do I pick the right EFL tutor for my child?

You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before you book. Look for a tutor whose experience matches your child's specific goals – whether that's exam preparation, conversational practice, or academic writing. It's a great idea to involve your child in the choice, too!

Q: Are your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective, accepting just 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

Q: How much does English as a Foreign Language tutoring cost in Exeter?

Our tutors set their own prices, so you can find someone to suit your budget. Prices are displayed clearly on each tutor's profile with no hidden fees. You simply pay for the lessons you book.

Q: How do online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection. It's simple, secure, and effective.

Q: Can a tutor help my child build confidence as well as language skills?

Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Having a safe, supportive space to practise and ask questions without fear of making mistakes can do wonders for a child's confidence. As they see their English skills improve, their self-belief in other areas often grows too.

Q: How long does it take to see improvement?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our one-to-one approach is designed to help them progress effectively. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence, which can happen after just a few sessions.

Q: How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that one session a week is a great starting point, as it allows the tutor to build momentum and keep your child engaged. However, you can arrange lessons as often as you like, and you can discuss the best frequency with your tutor.

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!
