Highly Experienced English Teacher with QTS
Hello, my name is Mark and I've been teaching Computer Science since 2011 and maths since 2022. I'm passionate about teaching others about the subject I have loved since I was 11 years old. What makes me different from other tutors? My brain isn't wired up like a typical computer science teacher, I've had to work hard to master my understanding of the various subject areas. So I know first hand what it is like to feel 'I just don't understand it'.Over the years I've mastered ways in which to deliver even the most trickiest of subject areas, so that you will not only learn new information, but be...

Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced online tutor, 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.

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
With the high standards of schools like King's Ely nearby, can I find a tutor experienced in helping students achieve top GCSE grades (8-9)?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in helping students secure the highest grades. You can view their profiles to see their experience with specific exam boards and their track record of helping students achieve grades 8 and 9, giving your child the competitive edge they need.
My child is at Ely College but we're aiming for a competitive sixth form. Can a tutor help with this transition?
Definitely. A tutor can provide targeted support to ensure your child not only achieves the necessary GCSE grades but also develops the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed to thrive in their A-Level studies. They can help build a strong foundation for future success.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about the right fit. You can read reviews from other parents, watch introductory videos, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's specific needs. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step to building their confidence and helping them learn.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you have the best possible experience, which is why we offer a 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, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We also have a rigorous selection process, and we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence, not just grades?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. Tutors provide constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, helping your child see their own progress and believe in their abilities.
Is it only for core subjects like English, or can you help my child explore other interests like creative writing or learning an instrument?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academics, your child can learn anything from a new language or a musical instrument to coding and public speaking. It's a great way to support their passions as well as their schoolwork.
My child struggles with specific English skills, like analysing poetry. Can a tutor focus just on that?
Yes, that's one of the main benefits of one-to-one tuition. The tutor can dedicate entire lessons to the specific areas where your child needs the most help, whether it's analysing poetry, understanding grammar, or structuring an essay.
How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most families find that one session per week provides the consistency their child needs to make real progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for you and your child directly with your tutor.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress, and you'll often see the results in their growing confidence, improved homework, and better test scores.
