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!

Matthew has been teaching my son since September and he absolutely enjoys the lessons. He explains writing in a way my son can understand, and we’ve already seen a boost in his confidence.
Really friendly, patient, and supportive — we’re very happy with the progress so far. Highly recommend!

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 :)

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a King Edward VI grammar school. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They have extensive experience with the specific comprehension, grammar, and creative writing skills your child will need for the entrance exams and can help build both their knowledge and their confidence ahead of the day.
My child hopes to go to a Russell Group university like Birmingham. Can a tutor help with A-Level English?
Yes, we have many specialist A-Level English tutors who can support your child. They can help them master the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve top grades, which are crucial for applications to competitive universities like the University of Birmingham.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings and reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few tutors who seem like a good fit and sending them a message to discuss your child's specific goals before booking.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant to ensure they have the right experience. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
My child is preparing for their GCSEs. How much can a tutor really help?
Personalised support can make a huge difference. Studies have shown that one-to-one tutoring with Tutorful can improve a child's GCSE results by up to two grades. Tutors can focus on specific areas of the curriculum, from exam technique to understanding set texts, to help your child achieve their best.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child. A session might involve working through a difficult piece of text together on the interactive whiteboard, practising exam-style questions for an upcoming test, or planning and structuring an essay. It's a collaborative and focused space for them to learn at their own pace.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £15 to £35 per hour. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How can tutoring help my child if they've lost their confidence?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-belief and rediscover a love for learning.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, a shared whiteboard, and the ability to upload documents. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection. It's simple, secure, and effective.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important. 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 long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns differently, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one academic grade.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're here to help with core subjects like English and Maths, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, we have an expert tutor to help.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
