Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to get into BHASVIC. Can a tutor help them achieve the top English GCSE grades required?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the high grades needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on exam technique, essay writing, and textual analysis to help your child stand out and meet the entry requirements for places like BHASVIC or East Sussex College Lewes.
We live in Lewes and are thinking ahead. Can a tutor support A-Level English with an eye on applying to the University of Sussex?
Definitely. Our tutors can provide excellent support for A-Level English, helping your child develop the advanced analytical and critical thinking skills that top universities like the University of Sussex look for. They can also offer guidance on personal statements and university-level thinking.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child connects with.
How much does an online English tutor cost in Lewes?
The cost of tutoring varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. A one-to-one setting provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. Tutors celebrate small wins and help your child see their own progress, which can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked before they can join Tutorful. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
What happens if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session a week works well, but you can arrange a schedule that best suits your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer help for school subjects?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have tutors who can teach a wide range of other skills. You can find experts in everything from coding and musical instruments to creative writing and public speaking.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to discuss how things are going. Seeing your child's confidence grow and their school results improve is often the clearest sign of success.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experts in both and can create a tailored plan that covers everything your child needs, from analysing poetry and plays for Literature to mastering grammar and persuasive writing for Language.
