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.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're hoping for a place at a sixth form in Framlingham or Woodbridge. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students secure the strong GCSE grades needed for entry into competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific skills and exam techniques required to help your child feel prepared and confident.
My child is considering the University of East Anglia. Can we find a tutor to support their application?
Yes. We have tutors who are experienced in helping students with their A-Level studies and university applications, including for competitive courses at universities like UEA. They can help with everything from mastering A-Level content to providing feedback on personal statements.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their introduction videos and messaging a few to find someone your child will get on with. It's all about finding the right personality fit for your child.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process: every tutor has been interviewed, had their ID checked, and undergone a background check. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
What happens 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.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us, and it's where one-to-one tutoring can make the biggest difference. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement, helping them rebuild their self-belief one step at a time.
How much does an online English tutor in Leiston 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. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work through problems together, just as they would in person.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with our tutors. The real magic is often seeing their confidence grow, which can happen after just a few sessions.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
The tutor will tailor the session to your child's specific needs. It might involve going over a tricky piece of homework, practising exam questions, analysing a poem together, or planning an essay. The focus is always on what will help your child make the most progress.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like coding or music theory?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get ahead in coding, or learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
Do we have to commit to a certain number of lessons?
Not at all. We offer a flexible, pay-as-you-go system. You can book as many or as few lessons as you need, whenever you need them. There are no contracts or long-term commitments.
