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!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're hoping for a place at a competitive school like Graveney or Chestnut Grove. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students prepare for entry into specific secondary schools. They can help your child develop the language skills and academic confidence needed to perform their best in any assessments and interviews.
My main worry is my child making friends in their new Clapham primary school. How can a tutor help?
This is a common concern, and our tutors can be a great help. They create a relaxed, one-to-one environment for your child to practise conversational English, focusing on the everyday language used in the playground and classroom. This can give them a real confidence boost to start conversations and build new friendships.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, 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 pick the right tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents just like you. This helps you get a real feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked using an enhanced DBS check, and we interview them to ensure they are experienced and passionate about teaching. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How much does an English as a Foreign Language tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone brilliant who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
My child is quite shy. Will online tutoring work for them?
Online tutoring can be fantastic for shyer children. The one-to-one setting, without the pressure of a full classroom, often helps them feel more comfortable and confident to speak up and ask questions.
How often should my child have lessons?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Many families find one session a week works well, but you can adjust this as you go. You can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects?
Not at all! While we cover all academic subjects from primary to degree level, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills, like learning to play the guitar, coding in Python, or even public speaking.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence?
Confidence comes from understanding. In a one-to-one lesson, your child has the tutor's full attention, so they can ask questions freely and work at their own pace. Every small success builds their self-belief, which they can then take back into the classroom.
How do the online lessons work?
We understand that life can be busy. We have a simple 24-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can reschedule your lesson for another time without any charge.
