Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school. I had some recent feedback from a parent, stating that their child had "gone from being scared of maths (and trying to hide it by saying maths is boring) to loving it!" Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

John H
Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the English grade they need for The College Merthyr Tydfil?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for their WJEC English GCSEs. They can focus on the specific areas your child needs to improve, from exam technique to understanding the mark scheme, to help them secure the grade needed for their chosen A-Level or vocational course.
My child is hoping to study at a Welsh university like Cardiff or Swansea. Can a tutor support this goal?
Definitely. A strong English A-Level is often a key requirement for top universities. A tutor can provide in-depth support beyond the GCSE curriculum, helping your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed to stand out on their university application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking your first session.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Tutor prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
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 tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe, encouraging environment where your child can ask questions without feeling self-conscious. As their tutor helps them overcome challenges and they start to see their skills improve, their confidence naturally grows.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are also very selective, only accepting 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our personalised approach is designed for progress. With consistent weekly lessons, many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few weeks. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What's the difference between tutoring and school?
While teachers in school do an amazing job with a large class, a tutor can provide dedicated, one-to-one attention. They can tailor the pace and content of lessons specifically to your child's needs, spending extra time on topics they find tricky.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
It's for much more than just school work! We have expert tutors who can help your child explore a new hobby or develop a new skill, from learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish to getting started with coding.
How do I get started?
It's simple. Just search for your subject, browse our expert tutors, and send a message to the ones you think would be a good fit for your child. You can be chatting with a tutor and have your first lesson booked in minutes.
