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 worried about falling behind at their school in Northumberland. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. This is a very common concern, and it's exactly where a one-to-one tutor can help. They can work at your child's pace, filling any gaps in their understanding and building their confidence so they feel ready and able to participate in class.
We hope our child will go to a university like Newcastle or Durham. Can a tutor help them prepare for this?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience helping students with their university aspirations. They can help your child build the strong English language skills needed to achieve excellent GCSE and A-Level results, which are crucial for applications to competitive universities like Newcastle and Durham.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That’s why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Can a tutor help my child integrate better socially at school?
Definitely. As your child's confidence with the English language grows, they'll naturally find it easier to chat with classmates, join in with games, and build friendships. A tutor can help them with conversational English, making them feel more comfortable and included at school.
How do I choose the right English as a Foreign Language tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles for each tutor, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many also have introductory videos. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with.
How much do online English as a Foreign Language tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, making it easy to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple. All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a microphone, a camera, and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident speaking English?
A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to practise speaking without the fear of making mistakes in front of a whole class. This one-to-one attention and positive reinforcement is fantastic for building their confidence in everyday conversations.
How are tutors vetted and checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must all provide a valid DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can trust that your child is in safe, expert hands.
Are the tutors qualified to teach English as a Foreign Language?
Yes, many of our tutors are qualified teachers or hold specific qualifications like TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language). You can view each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile to find the right expert for your child.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's English?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that it's completely focused on their needs. Most parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
How does online tutoring actually work?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have amazing tutors who can teach hobbies and professional skills, from learning the guitar or piano to coding in Python.
