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
My child feels lost in their large secondary school in Derby. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. This is a very common concern. A one-to-one tutor can provide the focused attention your child may not be getting in a big class. They can go over topics at your child's pace, build their confidence in speaking and writing, and help them feel much more prepared and able to participate in lessons.
Can a tutor help my child with the English skills needed for Derby College?
Yes. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for further education. They can focus on the specific English Language requirements for entry to Derby College, ensuring your child has the best possible chance of securing their place.
How do I choose the right English As A Foreign Language tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a short introductory chat so you can see if they are a good fit for your child's personality and learning style before you book a lesson.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have a 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 tutoring help my child feel more confident?
Confidence comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to make mistakes and ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As their skills improve, their self-esteem grows, which can have a positive impact on their friendships and their general happiness at school.
How much does tutoring cost in Derby?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on Tutorful has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for solving problems together, and a way to share documents. It's designed to be engaging and effective.
How quickly can we expect to see progress?
Every child learns at a different pace, but consistent, personalised support can make a big difference quite quickly. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence and a better understanding of their schoolwork within just a few sessions.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like music or coding?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new craft, you can find experienced tutors to help them explore their passions.
My child is very shy. Will online tutoring work for them?
Many shy children actually find online tutoring more comfortable than face-to-face sessions. Learning from their own home can help them feel more relaxed and open up more easily. Tutors are experienced in creating a friendly, low-pressure environment to help them shine.
