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 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 Norwich sixth form like CNS. Can a tutor help them achieve the required English grades?
Absolutely. Many parents in Poringland share this goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades, like the 6s and 7s often needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on strengthening exam technique and deepening your child's understanding of the curriculum to help them secure their place.
We're thinking about university at UEA in the future. How can English tutoring now help with that?
A strong GCSE English grade is a key requirement for many university courses, including those at the University of East Anglia. Tutoring helps build the core analytical and communication skills that are not only vital for the GCSE exams but are also the foundation for success at A-Level and in higher education.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents to get a real feel for their teaching style. You can also message tutors beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs and goals to ensure you find the perfect match.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of demand. Tutors set their own hourly rates, and you can easily filter your search to find an experienced tutor who fits your budget.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want you and your child to feel completely comfortable. If the first lesson isn't the right fit, just let us know. 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 do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked before they can join Tutorful. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space can do wonders for confidence. When your child starts to understand concepts that once seemed difficult, and sees their hard work pay off in their results, their self-belief naturally grows.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, most of our English tutors are highly experienced in teaching both the Language and Literature GCSE courses. You can check their profiles or send them a message to confirm they cover the specific exam board and texts your child is studying.
How quickly will we see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our personalised approach is designed for progress. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The key is consistent, tailored support that targets the areas where they need it most.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life is busy, we get it. You can easily manage your child's schedule through your Tutorful account. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or rearrange a lesson.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're experts in core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have brilliant tutors who teach a wide range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to coding in Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
