Lina H
Professional and inspiring English as a Foreign Language EFL and English tutor
Maths is usually the subject students struggle with most at school mainly due to the lack of individual help during lessons.

Once the gaps are covered, we can then proceed to cover the necessary course material based on individual requirements.I have extensive e...

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!

How do I choose the right English as a Foreign Language tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to get a feel for their teaching style. Think about what your child needs – is it a confidence boost, exam help, or conversational practice? Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
My child attends a demanding school like Mossbourne. Can a tutor help them keep up?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in supporting students in fast-paced academic environments. They can help your child get to grips with tricky topics, manage their workload, and build the confidence to participate fully in lessons, ensuring they don't get left behind.
We're worried about our child feeling isolated. Can tutoring help with social confidence?
Yes, it can make a huge difference. A tutor provides a safe, one-to-one space for your child to practise their conversational English without fear of making mistakes. This practice can be key to helping them feel more confident starting conversations and building friendships at school.
How much does an English as a Foreign Language tutor in Hackney cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How do online lessons work?
They take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
What if my child is very shy?
One-to-one tutoring is perfect for shy or anxious children. It gives them a safe space to ask questions they might be afraid to ask in front of a whole class. Our tutors are skilled at building rapport and gently encouraging students to grow in confidence.
How long will it take for my child to see progress?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the one-to-one focus of tutoring means progress can happen quickly. Often, the first thing parents notice is a boost in their child's confidence and a more positive attitude towards their learning.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our priority. All of our tutors have been interviewed, had their ID verified, and have passed a background check before they can teach on our platform.

Not at all! While we cover all core subjects for exams like the 11+, GCSEs, and A-Levels, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills, from playing the guitar and singing to coding and public speaking.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes, you can. You and your child's tutor can communicate easily through our messaging system. Tutors are always happy to provide feedback on how your child is getting on and what they're working on together.
How long will it take for my child to see progress?
Most families start with one hour-long lesson per week, as this provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, it's completely flexible and you can discuss what's best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
