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 a competitive London university like King's College or UCL. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students strengthen their academic English specifically for university applications. They can focus on essay writing, critical thinking, and developing the sophisticated vocabulary needed to impress admissions tutors and succeed in higher education.
We live in South London and want our child to thrive in a top local school. Can we find a tutor who understands this pressure?
Yes. Many of our tutors are familiar with the UK curriculum and the high standards of competitive schools in areas like South London. They can help your child build the specific academic language skills needed to not just keep up, but to feel confident and participate fully in a demanding classroom environment.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right personal connection is key to successful 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.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we cover all core school subjects, we also have brilliant tutors who can help your child explore a new passion or skill. From learning to play the guitar or piano to getting started with coding, we're here to support all kinds of learning.
How do I choose the right English language tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and even message tutors for free before booking. Look for someone whose experience matches your child's specific needs, whether that's building vocabulary for GCSEs or improving conversational confidence.
How much does an English as a Foreign Language tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and qualifications, so you can find an excellent tutor who fits your family's budget.
How can online tutoring help my child feel more confident in school?
One-to-one attention in a safe space can make a huge difference. A tutor can patiently go over topics your child may be too shy to ask about in class. This repeated success in lessons builds their self-esteem, which they carry back into the school classroom.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have had their ID verified and hold an enhanced DBS certificate, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
My child's main issue is academic writing. Can a tutor help with that specifically?
Definitely. Tutors can dedicate entire sessions to improving essay structure, grammar, and vocabulary. They can break down how to form a strong argument and provide instant feedback, which is invaluable for exams.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Many families find a regular weekly session works best to build momentum, but you can schedule lessons as often as you need, especially in the run-up to exams.
How can online tutoring help my child feel more confident in school?
We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs, this can be as much as a two-grade improvement. More than that, you can expect to see your child's confidence and enjoyment of learning grow.
