Lucy C
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. For example, my knowledge of Biblical and Greek mythological references from my study of world religions is often really useful when interpreting certain texts by Shakespeare or other non-contemporary...

Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic English Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to a competitive sixth form like Hills Road or Long Road. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students prepare for applications to highly competitive colleges. They can focus on developing the analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve the grade 8s and 9s that make an application stand out, building your child's confidence for the step up to A-Levels.
We live in Burwell. Are the tutors local?
Our tutors are based all across the UK and lessons are held online. This gives you a much wider choice than just looking locally, allowing you to find the absolute best English specialist for your child's specific needs, regardless of geography. You can find someone with the perfect experience from the comfort of your home.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents just like you. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat to help you decide if they're the right fit before you book a lesson.
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, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications. You'll find a range of prices to suit different budgets, and you can see the cost clearly on each tutor's profile. There are no hidden fees.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
A great tutor does more than just teach the subject; they act as a mentor. By providing patient, one-to-one support in a safe space, they can help your child understand difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and rebuild their self-belief.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We also interview them and verify their ID and qualifications, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn one-to-one.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the GCSE English curriculum, like poetry analysis?
Yes, absolutely. The benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that it's completely tailored. If your child is struggling with analysing unseen poetry or getting to grips with 'An Inspector Calls', their tutor can dedicate entire lessons to that specific area until they feel confident.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and public speaking.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most students have one lesson per week, but you can arrange a frequency that works best for your child and their goals with your chosen tutor. It's completely flexible.
What results can we expect from tutoring?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our goal is to help them build confidence and improve their understanding. We're proud that 90% of students on Tutorful improve by at least one grade. That's why we're trusted by thousands of parents, with a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews.
