Elizabeth E
Experienced English as a Foreign Language EFL tutor
My aim as a tutor is that you come away with the tools you need to continue learning without me – including enthusiasm for the subject! Learning can be hard work, but it should always be interesting too. The structure of lessons will therefore depend on what you aim to get out of tutoring, and which approaches we find are most helpful for you. I am also familiar with ADHD, and how to make it work for you instead of against you. I have previously tutored in A-level maths and sciences; maths, English and French with younger children; and English with adult second-language learners, in both individual a...

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 is aiming for a competitive school like Alleyn's or Dulwich College. Can a tutor help with the 11+ entrance exams?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in entrance exam preparation, including the 11+. They can help your child understand the specific question formats, build the necessary academic vocabulary, and develop the confidence to perform at their best on the day.
We're worried our child will struggle to integrate and keep up with the curriculum. Can a tutor help with this?
Definitely. A tutor can provide a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be hesitant to ask in class. They can pre-teach topics, review difficult concepts, and help your child master the specific language needed for subjects like Science or History, making it much easier for them to follow along and participate.
How do I choose the right English as a Foreign Language tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents just like you. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to make sure you find the perfect match.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 online tutoring help my child with their academic English specifically?
Our online classroom has interactive tools like a whiteboard that are perfect for breaking down complex sentences or planning essays. Tutors can share resources and focus entirely on your child's needs, whether that's mastering formal writing or understanding literary devices.
My child is shy about speaking English in class. Can a tutor help build their confidence?
Yes, one-to-one lessons are a fantastic way to build confidence. In a supportive and patient environment, your child can practise speaking without the pressure of a full classroom, helping them find their voice and feel more comfortable contributing in school.
How much does an EFL tutor cost?
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 contracts.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check before they can teach on our platform, so you can have complete confidence.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or could my child also learn something like guitar or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all core academic areas, your child can also learn practical skills like coding, a new language, or a musical instrument like the guitar. It's a great way to support their hobbies and personal development too.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?
Sessions are typically an hour long. Most families find that one session a week works well, but you can arrange a schedule that best suits your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your chosen tutor.
What happens in a typical online EFL lesson?
The lesson will be tailored to your child's needs. It might start with a quick chat to review what they covered in school that week, followed by targeted exercises on the interactive whiteboard, working through challenging homework, or practising exam questions.
How much does an EFL tutor cost?
