Asking, “how?” “Why?” And “What if?” to inspire practical links to knowledge in the humanities but also in reasoning through mathematical problems.

Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Holly has been a fantastic tutor for my daughter, Anissa. She is patient, encouraging and explains things in a clear and supportive way.
Since starting lessons with Holly, Anissa’s confidence has grown noticeably, and she feels much more comfortable and positive in her learning. She really enjoys the sessions and speaks very warmly about Holly — she genuinely loves learning with her.
We’ve been very pleased with the progress so far and would highly recommend Holly to other families looking for a caring and effective tutor.

John has been an excellent English IGCSE tutor. He is very organised, enthusiastic and communicates clearly. He quickly built a strong rapport with my daughter, putting her at ease, and she is really enjoying the lessons and getting a lot out of them. John is helping her to build confidence, structure exam answers and prepare effectively for revision, and I feel the tutoring will be very beneficial in the run-up to her exams.

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for grammar schools in Bexley/Kent. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can help your child master verbal reasoning, improve their comprehension skills, and build confidence with exam techniques specific to the entrance exams for these schools.
We're hoping for a place at a competitive local school like Thomas Tallis. Can tutoring support GCSE preparation?
Definitely. A dedicated English tutor can provide focused support to help your child achieve the best possible GCSE grades. They can work on everything from essay structure and textual analysis to creative writing, helping to boost their results by up to two grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can online tutoring help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one lessons create a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling shy or judged. A great tutor celebrates small wins and patiently explains difficult concepts, which helps your child feel more capable and confident in their abilities.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS background check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile with no hidden costs.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which has a whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing tools. A tutor might review homework, work through a tricky poem, or practice exam questions, always tailoring the session to your child's specific learning goals.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have tutors for all academic subjects from primary to university level, we also offer a huge range of other skills! Your child can learn anything from coding and playing the guitar to a new language or even public speaking.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students need a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others benefit from weekly lessons throughout the school year. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
Can a tutor help with specific texts, like Shakespeare or poetry?
Yes. Our English tutors are experts in a wide range of literature. They can help your child break down complex language, understand key themes, and develop the analytical skills needed to write brilliant essays on even the most challenging texts.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You'll also see their confidence grow and, in many cases, their school grades improve. You can message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going.
