Krishni R
Experienced GCSE English tutor and enthusiast in English
Hi there, my name is Krishni! I am a Law and Sociology graduate from the University of Warwick, and now I am doing my legal masters. From all the trial and errors I have undergone, my mission is to transform grades and confidence.I had struggled throughout school in terms of focus and struggling with the ‘one-size-fits all’ approach school teachers left me with. I would constantly get reprimanded and disheartened with my grades. After many MANY trial and errors, I finally figured out how to personalise and tailor the curriculum to ME and saw results almost straight away. This tailoring method is ...

Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Myles was a great tutor for my daughter, who was struggling with school. Homeschooling, alongside lessons with Myles, gave her the confidence she needed to pass Maths GCSE and get into her chosen college and course :)

Brilliant English 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 aiming for Chigwell or Bancroft's. Can a tutor help my child prepare for the English entrance exams?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in entrance exam preparation. You can filter for tutors with specific 11+ experience and discuss your goals for schools like Chigwell and Bancroft's directly with them to ensure they're the right fit for your child.
My child is preparing for the 11+ for Essex grammar schools. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Certainly. We have experienced tutors who are very familiar with the requirements of the CSSE (Consortium of Selective Schools in Essex) and other 11+ exams. They can help your child build the specific comprehension, writing, and reasoning skills needed.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking your first lesson to find the perfect match.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the right person for your child. 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 much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study, giving you the flexibility to find an expert who fits your budget.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple, effective, and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
My child finds creative writing really difficult. How can a tutor help?
This is a common challenge, and our tutors can make a real difference. They can break down the process of planning a story, developing characters, and using descriptive language in a fun, encouraging way, helping to turn a point of anxiety into a source of confidence.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked, and we verify their ID and references. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
Can a tutor help my child with their GCSE English results?
Yes. Tutors can provide targeted support to help your child master the curriculum, refine their exam technique, and build their confidence. In fact, focused tutoring can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to two grades.
How long does it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that it's completely focused on their needs. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first session is usually a chance for the tutor to get to know your child, understand their learning style, and chat about their goals and any areas they find tricky. It's a relaxed way to build a rapport and create a plan for future lessons.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we have experts for core subjects like English and Maths, we also offer tutoring for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to code in Python, play the guitar, or speak a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor for them here.
