English as a Foreign Language EFL Experienced & patient - SEND & reluctant learners.
I am a very patient and encouraging teacher. I focus on the needs of the learner which results in positive progress & improvement in confidence. I have a 'get the basics right first' approach. I have worked with hundreds of SEND students, with Autism, ADHD, selective mutism, Tourettes, anxiety, body dysmorphia and social/emotional issues, to name but a few. We are all different, and we can all celebrate achievement in different ways. The teacher/learner relationship is fundamental for me.

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.
My child is preparing for the 11+ for Rugby High or Lawrence Sheriff. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in 11+ preparation and can specifically help children for whom English is a foreign language. They can focus on building the nuanced vocabulary and understanding the complex sentence structures required for the verbal reasoning sections, giving your child the confidence to show their true potential.
How do I pick 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 teaching style. Many also have introductory videos, and you can read reviews from other parents to get a real feel for who they are. It’s a good idea to message a few to find the perfect match for your child's personality and needs.
Are the tutors familiar with the school system in the Rugby area?
While our tutors are based across the UK, many have extensive experience with the national curriculum, including the specific requirements for grammar school entrance exams like the 11+. You can discuss your child's specific school and goals with any prospective tutor to ensure they are a good fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know 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, 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 more confident speaking English?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe and encouraging space for your child to practise speaking without the pressure of a classroom. Tutors are brilliant at building rapport and will gently correct mistakes while celebrating progress, which can do wonders for a child's confidence.
How much does English As A Foreign Language tutoring cost in Rugby?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of expertise. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your family's budget.
Are all tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS background check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Our online classroom has lots of useful features, including a shared whiteboard, file sharing, and video chat. A tutor might use the whiteboard to break down grammar rules, share practice exam questions, or work through a text together. It's an interactive and engaging way to learn.
How long are the sessions and how often should my child have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most parents find that one session a week is a great way to build momentum and see steady progress, but the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs.
Can tutoring help even if my child speaks English well conversationally?
Yes, definitely. There's a big difference between conversational English and the formal, academic language needed for exams. A tutor can help bridge that gap, focusing on advanced vocabulary, essay structure, and understanding complex texts.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language for fun, we have expert tutors who can help them explore their interests.
Are all tutors background-checked?
You can get started very quickly. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you could have your first lesson booked within 24 hours. Many of our 200,000+ happy students started their journey just like that.
