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!

We're new to Middlesbrough. Can a tutor help my child with the English they need to make friends?
Definitely. This is a common goal for many families. A tutor can focus on conversational English, common phrases, and cultural nuances that will help your child feel much more confident joining in with conversations at school and making new friends.

You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and an introductory video. We also have over 4,100 reviews from other parents to help you choose. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to find someone your child will connect with.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for your child's learning. That's why we have a 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.
How can a tutor help my child feel less isolated at school?
Feeling left out often comes from not being able to understand or join in. By building your child's language skills, a tutor gives them the tools to participate in class and chat in the playground. This boost in confidence can make a huge difference to their happiness and sense of belonging.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check before they can start teaching. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
