Eleanor J
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!

My child wants to go to Queen Mary's College or BCoT. Can a tutor help them get the English grades they need?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the grades they need for their next steps. They can focus specifically on the GCSE English Language curriculum, helping your child with everything from essay writing to exam technique to secure their place on their chosen course.
Beyond schoolwork, can a tutor help my child with conversational English to make friends in Basingstoke?
Definitely. This is one of the great benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A tutor can create a relaxed space for your child to practise everyday conversation, helping them build the confidence to chat with classmates, join in games, and feel more connected to their friends and the local community.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for your child's learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you feel the first tutor isn't the right match, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
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 check each tutor's qualifications on their profile. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their experience and teaching style to find the perfect person to support your child.
How much does online EFL tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child if they are shy or lack confidence speaking English?
One-to-one lessons are a fantastic way to help a shy child. A tutor provides a safe, patient, and encouraging environment where your child can practise speaking without the pressure of a full classroom. This builds their confidence gradually, which they can then take into school.

Yes. Many of our tutors hold specific qualifications like TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) or have degrees in linguistics or English. You can view every tutor's qualifications, experience, and DBS check status on their profile.

Your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. All lessons take place in our secure online classroom, which can be recorded for you to review, giving you complete peace of mind.

It's very simple! Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's English?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the personalised focus of one-to-one tutoring often leads to progress quite quickly. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can message the tutor at any time to ask for updates. Tutors are always happy to share what they've been working on with your child and discuss their progress towards the goals you've set together.
Do you only offer academic subjects? What if my child wanted to learn something like guitar or coding?
We believe in changing lives through learning in all its forms! While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach hobbies and skills like playing the guitar, coding, learning a new language for fun, or even public speaking.
