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.

asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for colleges like Runshaw or Winstanley?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the crucial Grade 5s and 6s in GCSE English needed for competitive local colleges. They can focus on exam technique, building confidence, and closing any knowledge gaps to give your child the best possible chance of success.
Are tutors able to support A-Level ambitions for universities like Lancaster or Liverpool?
Yes. A strong GCSE in English is the foundation for A-Level success. Our tutors help build the core analytical and writing skills at GCSE that your child will rely on for their A-Level studies, putting them on a firm path towards achieving the grades needed for top universities.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check a tutor's experience. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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.
How does online tutoring work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has everything your child needs, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way to learn from home.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors are freelance and set their own prices, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden costs or complicated fees.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors are from the UK and have passed a background check before they can teach on our platform.
How can tutoring build my child's confidence?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions and make mistakes without fear of judgement. This personal attention helps them understand topics at their own pace, which is a huge confidence booster.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families choose to have one lesson a week, but it's completely flexible. You and your tutor can decide on a schedule that works best for your child's goals, whether that's regular weekly support or a few intensive sessions before an exam.
Can a tutor help with a specific text, like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Yes, absolutely. Tutors tailor their lessons to exactly what your child is studying. They can provide expert guidance on specific exam texts, poetry anthologies, or any other area of the English curriculum your child finds tricky.
How long is a typical lesson?
The standard lesson length is one hour. This gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. You can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor if needed.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding.
