Patient and encouraging English tutor (and nearly Doctor!)
Since I started tutoring over 6 years ago now, during a summer break in my first degree, I've only grown to love working with young people more and more. All of them surprise me with the insight they're capable of and how much they're able to achieve with just a little encouragement!My particular expertise is in Religious Studies - I have a Master's with Distinction and BA with a First in Theology, from Durham and KCL respectively. I'm now approaching the completion of my PhD, also in the Theology field; this also gave me the opportunity to do a little classroom teaching of first year degree students....

Flora is patient and takes the time to ensure my child understands concepts properly before moving on. She always comes well prepared, communicates effectively with my son, and explains things clearly. She also takes time to prepare homework assignments and resource materials to reinforce learning.
She’s easy to reach and is happy to chat with parents about progress and the ways we can support learning at home. My son enjoys her teaching and is happy to add one more lesson a week with Flora. I’d gladly recommend her to others looking for a solid tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for Lancaster's grammar schools. Can we find a tutor with specific experience?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping children prepare for the 11+ and other school entrance exams. You can check their profiles for this specialism and even send them a message before booking to discuss your child's specific needs for schools like Lancaster Royal Grammar or Lancaster Girls' Grammar.
We're aiming for top GCSE grades to help with an application to Lancaster University. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors are brilliant at helping students aim high. They can focus on the specific skills needed to turn a grade 6 into a grade 8 or 9 in GCSE English, which can make a big difference for competitive university applications. We can even help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for building confidence. 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 do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can start by using the filters on our search page to narrow down tutors by price and availability. Reading their profiles and parent reviews is a great way to get a feel for their teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask any specific questions you have.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, so rates vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily see the hourly rate on each tutor's profile and use the search filters to find someone who fits your budget perfectly.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has everything your child and their tutor need, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from home.
Can a tutor help my child who has lost confidence in English?
Absolutely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor will create a supportive, encouraging space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Rebuilding that self-belief is often the first step to making real academic progress.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families opt for one session a week, but it's completely flexible. You can discuss your child's goals with your chosen tutor and agree on a frequency that works best for them, whether that's a weekly top-up or more intensive support before an exam.
How do I pay for lessons?
Paying for lessons is simple and secure. All payments are handled through our platform, so you don't need to worry about cash. You just add your card details and we process the payment automatically after each completed lesson.
Do you only offer help with school subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without being overwhelming. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
