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!

Brilliant English as a Foreign Language EFL tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
We're considering grammar schools like Devonport High. Can a tutor help my child prepare for the English language demands?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in school entrance preparation. They can work with your child to build the advanced vocabulary, reading comprehension, and writing skills needed to meet the high academic standards of competitive grammar schools, giving them the confidence to perform at their best.
My child hopes to study at the University of Plymouth. How can an EFL tutor support this long-term goal?
That's a fantastic goal. A tutor can help build a long-term plan, starting with strengthening the English skills needed for top GCSE and A-Level grades. They can also help with the specific demands of university applications, such as writing a compelling personal statement and preparing for interviews, ensuring their language skills showcase their true potential.
My child's English level is affecting their other subjects. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents seek our help. An EFL tutor can work with your child on the specific 'academic English' needed for other subjects. For example, they can focus on the language of scientific reports for Biology or how to analyse sources in History, helping to close the gap across the entire curriculum.
How do I choose the right English As A Foreign Language tutor for my child?
Finding the right fit is simple. You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. This helps ensure you find someone your child will connect with.
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.
Are the tutors qualified and safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has been through a rigorous selection process, including identity and background checks. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
How much do online EFL tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence to speak up in class?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe and encouraging space for your child to practise speaking English without the fear of making mistakes in front of their peers. This regular, low-pressure practice with a supportive tutor is one of the best ways to build the confidence they need to participate more in class.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for an engaging lesson. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and examples, and a space to upload documents. It's designed to be simple to use and accessible from your computer or tablet.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a regular weekly lesson works best for consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible and up to you. You can arrange lessons as often as you feel your child needs them, easily fitting them around school and other commitments.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
You'll be able to see your child's confidence grow, and our tutors provide regular feedback on their progress. You can also message your child's tutor at any time to discuss how things are going and what they'll be focusing on in upcoming sessions.
How much do online EFL tutors cost?
While we offer fantastic support for all academic subjects, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies! From learning to play the guitar or piano to getting started with coding languages like Python, we can help your child explore their passions.
