Hi I'm Aki, an experienced Japanese teacher. I've been tutoring students in the United Kingdom for over 6 years.

Most of them are beginner or intermediate-level learners.Let me describe my teaching style with 3 key points: 1) TEACHING MATERIALS: I mainly use my original teaching materials which are full of visual-focused explanations and custom illustrations. I believe every lesson should be customised to some extent, because of the many different...

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!

Brilliant English as a Foreign Language EFL tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
Can a tutor help my child with their application to the University of Exeter or Exeter College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students with personal statements and interview preparation for top UK universities and colleges. They can help your child articulate their strengths and ambitions clearly and confidently in English, ensuring their application truly reflects their academic ability.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all core academic areas from primary to degree level, your child can also learn practical skills like coding or a musical instrument like the guitar. It's all about helping them pursue their passions.
How do online lessons work?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child to understand their strengths, what they find tricky, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed session designed to build a good relationship and create a plan for future lessons.
