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 hopes to apply to King's College or Goldsmiths. Can a tutor help with their personal statement?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience guiding students through the UCAS application process. They can help your child structure their personal statement, articulate their ambitions clearly, and showcase their strengths, which is crucial for applications to competitive London universities.
We live in South-East London. How does online tutoring work for us?
Online tutoring offers the best of both worlds. You get access to a UK-wide network of expert tutors without being limited to who is local, all from the comfort of your home in South-East London. All you need is a laptop or tablet and an internet connection for high-quality, one-to-one lessons that fit your family's schedule.
How do I pick the right tutor for my child?
It’s easy to find the perfect match. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from over 4,100+ parent reviews. You can also send a message to tutors before you book to discuss your child's specific needs and make sure they're a great fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that finding the right personality match is key. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect 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 tutoring help my child feel more confident and integrate socially?
Yes, confidence with language is key to making friends and feeling part of a community. By improving their conversational English and understanding of cultural nuances in a relaxed, one-to-one setting, a tutor can help your child feel more comfortable expressing themselves with their peers at school.
How much does English As A Foreign Language tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile with no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.
Are your tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and interviewed by our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which features a video chat, an online whiteboard, and a tool for sharing documents. A tutor might work through specific homework problems, practice conversational skills, or help your child analyse a text – every session is tailored to what your child needs most at that moment.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning a musical instrument like guitar to practical skills like coding or even a new language for fun, we can help your child explore their passions with an expert tutor.
How long are the lessons?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths directly with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
How does payment work?
Our payment system is simple and secure. Once a lesson is complete, payment is automatically processed using the card registered to your account. You can easily track all your lessons and payments from your Tutorful dashboard.
Are your tutors' backgrounds checked?
