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 hopes to apply to a competitive university in London like Queen Mary or UCL. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students with the specific demands of university applications, including personal statements and mastering the academic English required for top London universities. They can help your child build the skills and confidence needed to make a strong application.
The schools in North-East London are quite demanding. Can a tutor help my child keep up with native English speakers?
Yes, this is a common goal for many families we work with. A tutor can provide targeted support to bridge any gaps, focusing on academic vocabulary, essay structure, and confident communication. This helps your child participate fully and demonstrate their knowledge on an equal footing with their peers.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message before you book. Think about your child's specific goals – whether it's exam technique or conversational confidence – and look for a tutor whose experience matches those needs.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant to ensure they are knowledgeable and passionate about teaching. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How much does an English as a Foreign Language tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Can tutoring help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. A great tutor provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. As they start to understand difficult topics, their self-belief grows, which has a positive impact on their schoolwork and beyond.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's English?
It varies for every child, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Academic progress often follows as that new confidence allows them to engage more in class.
What happens in a typical online EFL lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know your child and understanding their goals. After that, sessions are tailored to them. A lesson might involve working through tricky homework, practising essay-writing techniques, or focusing on specific grammar points your child finds difficult.
How often should my child have tutoring sessions?
Most families find that one session a week is a great starting point. This provides regular support without overwhelming your child. You can easily arrange a schedule that works for your family by messaging your chosen tutor directly.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Not at all! While we help with everything from the 11+ to degree level, we also have amazing tutors for hobbies and personal development. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, we can help.
