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!

asked questions
See all FAQs
The secondary schools in South London are very competitive. Can a tutor help my child prepare?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience helping students prepare for 11+ exams, private school entrance tests, and interviews. They can work with your child on comprehension, vocabulary, and interview techniques to help them feel prepared and confident on the day.
My child feels left out at their school in Forest Hill. Can a tutor help with their social confidence?
Yes, this is a really important part of what our tutors do. By creating a safe, one-to-one space to practise conversational English, a tutor can help your child build the confidence to join in conversations, make friends, and feel more a part of their school community. It's about more than just grammar; it's about helping them find their voice.
How do I pick the right EFL tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings and reviews from other parents. Many parents send a message to a few tutors first to discuss their child's needs before booking. It’s all about finding the right personality fit for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
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 much does an English as a Foreign Language tutor cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Prices are displayed clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your own home.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS background check.
How does a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence comes from understanding. Our tutors create a patient, encouraging environment where your child feels safe to ask questions they might be shy to ask in class. Every small success in their one-to-one sessions builds their self-belief.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your tutor.
What qualifications do your English tutors have?
Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds. Many are qualified teachers, university lecturers, or examiners with degrees in English, Linguistics, or related fields. You can see all their qualifications and experience listed on their individual profiles.
