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!

Brilliant English as a Foreign Language EFL tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
We live in Fulham and are aiming for a competitive school like The London Oratory. Can a tutor help with this specific goal?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience helping students prepare for entry into highly competitive schools. They understand the level of academic English required and can work with your child on the specific essay writing and comprehension skills needed to meet that standard.
My child hopes to study at a top London university like Imperial or LSE. How can an EFL tutor support this ambition?
Our tutors can be a huge help here. They focus on developing the advanced academic English needed for top A-Level grades, which are crucial for applications to leading universities. They can help your child learn to articulate complex ideas, write with precision, and analyse texts critically—all key skills for university success.
What's the difference between conversational English and the academic English my child needs for school?
It's a great question. Conversational English is for everyday chats, but academic English is the formal, structured language needed for essays, exams, and reports. It involves a more advanced vocabulary, complex sentence structures, and the ability to build a formal argument, which is what schools and universities look for.
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 reviews from other parents. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, who has experience in the specific area you need help with, such as GCSE essay writing or A-Level analysis.
How much does an online English As A Foreign Language tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of expertise. 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.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. A tutor might work with your child to deconstruct an exam question, plan an essay structure on the whiteboard, or review and edit a piece of their writing in real-time.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit for your child. If for any reason the first lesson isn't right, 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 can a tutor help my child feel more confident writing essays?
Confidence comes from understanding. A tutor can break down the essay writing process into simple, manageable steps. By practising in a supportive, one-to-one setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed and gradually build the skills to write clear, well-structured arguments on their own.
Are the tutors qualified to teach for academic purposes?
Yes. Many of our tutors are qualified teachers or subject-matter experts with degrees in their field. We carefully vet all tutors, and only 1 in 8 who apply are accepted onto our platform. You can view each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors for a wide range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and public speaking to playing the guitar or creative writing.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but because one-to-one tutoring is so focused, many parents see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. Consistency is key to building strong, lasting skills.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
We're trusted by thousands of families across the UK, with a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. We focus on providing high-quality, background-checked tutors to ensure your child receives the best possible support in a safe, positive learning environment.
