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
My child attends Norton Hill/Somervale. Can we find a tutor familiar with the GCSE curriculum they follow?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience with the AQA, Edexcel and OCR exam boards used in UK schools. When you message a tutor, you can ask about their specific experience with the curriculum your child is studying to ensure it's a perfect match.
We're hoping our child will apply to the University of Bath or Bristol. Can a tutor help with more than just their schoolwork?
Yes, definitely. Beyond helping them secure the necessary GCSE and A-Level grades, our English tutors can be a fantastic resource for university applications. They can help your child develop the analytical and writing skills needed for a compelling personal statement, and even practise for interviews.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right personal connection is key to successful learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check tutors' qualifications on their profiles. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable with.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of demand, but start from £15 per hour. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions.
How can a tutor help my child if they lack confidence in English?
Confidence is often the biggest barrier to progress. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their grades.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check before they can teach on our platform. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have expert tutors for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar, to practical skills like coding, or even learning a new language for fun.
My child finds analysing poetry really difficult. Can a tutor help with that specifically?
Yes, absolutely. That's the great thing about one-to-one tutoring. If your child is struggling with poetry analysis, their tutor can dedicate entire lessons to it, working through poems from their syllabus, practising annotation techniques, and building their confidence in understanding complex language.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which most students find is the perfect amount of time. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your tutor to find what works best for your child's concentration and your family's schedule.
What if we need to cancel a lesson?
We understand that life can be unpredictable. You can cancel or reschedule a lesson for free, as long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice. You can manage all your bookings easily through your Tutorful account.
