Finding their voice, not just the right words
When your child has someone who gets them, English stops feeling like a barrier. Suddenly, they feel more comfortable speaking up in class, joining in conversations, or just asking for help when they're stuck. It's about building real confidence, not just memorising vocabulary.
This change makes all the difference. Whether it’s preparing for language proficiency tests like IELTS, settling into a new school system, or simply making day-to-day life easier, the right support helps your child feel understood and capable.

Matched to the right tutor, without the guesswork
Our Tutor Finder asks what your child needs – from their specific goals to how they like to learn. We then suggest a tutor we’d genuinely recommend for them.
Every tutor on your shortlist has been carefully vetted. Only one in eight applicants is accepted, and all are ID-verified and DBS-checked before they can meet any child. It’s why over 4,100 parents give us 4.6 stars.
Most families have their first lesson within days. It’s a low-pressure session for the tutor to get to know your child. And if it’s not the right fit, our First Lesson Guarantee means we find someone else, at no extra cost.

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!
