Mastering academic English is about much more than just grammar; it’s the key to unlocking your child's full potential across all their subjects.

These are the skills that help them achieve the grades they deserve, opening up pathways to A-Level courses and respected institutions like the University of Lincoln.

Native English as a Foreign Language EFL Tutor Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced
Hello, my name is Martin, and I am here to shake up your idea of learning! I was born in 1993 in Kaiserslautern, Germany, though life brought me to Lincoln by now. I currently work at HMP Lincoln as a tutor, though I am currently enjoying parental leave and spending time with my son. With hundreds of students over the past 10 years, a vast majority passed their exams or reached their ambitions in learning and speaking German. I credit this success to the fact that my main ambition is to make learning a fun, enjoyable experience that makes you laugh and smile. Reality is that children often do not...

Creative English as a Foreign Language EFL tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior).

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 is aiming for A-Levels and eventually the University of Lincoln. Can a tutor help them with the specific academic English required?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students bridge the gap between conversational fluency and the high-level academic English needed for A-Levels and university. They can focus on essay writing, critical analysis, and subject-specific vocabulary to ensure your child can articulate their knowledge effectively.
Lincoln's secondary schools are quite competitive. How can an EFL tutor give my child an edge?
A tutor provides personalised attention that isn't possible in a busy classroom. By focusing on your child's specific areas for improvement, a tutor can build their confidence and skills in academic writing and comprehension, helping them demonstrate their full potential in assessments and exams.
How do I choose the best EFL tutor for my child?
It’s all about finding the right fit for your child's personality and learning style. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check their qualifications and experience, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to chat about your child's goals before booking.
How much does an English as a Foreign Language tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
How can a tutor help my child move beyond just conversational English?
Our tutors specialise in this. They use targeted exercises to develop skills in academic writing, reading comprehension of complex texts, and using precise vocabulary. Lessons will focus on the language needed for specific subjects, like Science or Humanities, to help your child excel across the curriculum.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has been personally interviewed by our team. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, professional hands.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. That's why we have our 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.
What happens in a typical online EFL lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which has a whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing. A tutor might review an essay with your child, work through challenging vocabulary from a textbook, or practice exam techniques for a specific subject.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development. You'll be able to see their confidence grow, and this is often reflected in their schoolwork and test results. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress.
My child is quite shy. How does online tutoring help with that?
Many parents find that online tutoring is great for shyer children. The one-to-one setting, from the comfort of their own home, can feel less intimidating than a classroom. It gives them a safe space to ask questions they might otherwise keep to themselves.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Sessions are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your tutor to fit your child's schedule and concentration span.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of pursuits! While we have experts in core academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for hobbies and skills like learning guitar, coding, piano, or even a new spoken language.
