Experienced English Tutor - KS3, GCSE, A level, University
Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced online tutor and examiner, who has been teaching English Language & Literature and Religious Studies online since 2013. I am a fully qualified teacher with a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education.While I am a passionate tutor of each of these two subjects individually, more importantly I feel that my experience in each subject contributes something to the other.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Soham Village College. Can a tutor help them get the top grades needed for Hills Road or Long Road?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in helping students secure grades 7-9 at GCSE. They can focus specifically on the exam board your child's school uses, building their skills and exam technique to help their application to competitive sixth forms stand out.
We live in Soham. How does online tutoring work if the best tutors are elsewhere?
That's the great advantage of online tutoring! It gives your child access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those who live nearby. All lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, so you can find the perfect specialist for your child without ever having to leave home.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific goals. Finding someone your child connects with is key to building their confidence.
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 for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically start from £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of demand. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no surprises.
Are your tutors qualified to teach GCSE English?
Yes. We take great care in selecting our tutors, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants. Many are qualified teachers, examiners, or subject matter experts with extensive experience in the GCSE English curriculum. All tutors are background-checked for your peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors can break down difficult topics and celebrate small wins, which makes a huge difference to your child's self-belief.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons are tailored to your child's needs. A session might involve working through a past paper, analysing a poem on the interactive whiteboard, planning an essay structure together, or practising specific grammar points. It's always focused on what will help your child most.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to both you and your child. You can discuss progress, review lesson recordings, and see your child's confidence and understanding grow. Many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's attitude towards the subject.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?
Most sessions are one hour long, and most families find that one session per week works well, especially in the run-up to exams. However, this is completely flexible and is something you can agree on directly with your tutor.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Yes, and for many students, it's even more effective. Our online classroom has interactive tools like a shared whiteboard that make learning engaging. Plus, the convenience of learning from home means less stress and more energy to focus on learning.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different like coding or music?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get ahead with a new language, or explore skills like coding and Python, you can find an expert tutor to help them.
