Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to a competitive sixth form like Hills Road or Long Road. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students prepare for applications to highly competitive colleges. They can focus on developing the analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve the grade 8s and 9s that make an application stand out, building your child's confidence for the step up to A-Levels.
We live in Burwell. Are the tutors local?
Our tutors are based all across the UK and lessons are held online. This gives you a much wider choice than just looking locally, allowing you to find the absolute best English specialist for your child's specific needs, regardless of geography. You can find someone with the perfect experience from the comfort of your home.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents just like you. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat to help you decide if they're the right fit before you book a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications. You'll find a range of prices to suit different budgets, and you can see the cost clearly on each tutor's profile. There are no hidden fees.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
A great tutor does more than just teach the subject; they act as a mentor. By providing patient, one-to-one support in a safe space, they can help your child understand difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and rebuild their self-belief.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We also interview them and verify their ID and qualifications, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn one-to-one.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the GCSE English curriculum, like poetry analysis?
Yes, absolutely. The benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that it's completely tailored. If your child is struggling with analysing unseen poetry or getting to grips with 'An Inspector Calls', their tutor can dedicate entire lessons to that specific area until they feel confident.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and public speaking.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most students have one lesson per week, but you can arrange a frequency that works best for your child and their goals with your chosen tutor. It's completely flexible.
What results can we expect from tutoring?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our goal is to help them build confidence and improve their understanding. We're proud that 90% of students on Tutorful improve by at least one grade. That's why we're trusted by thousands of parents, with a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews.
