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.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply for A-Levels at a competitive local school. Can a tutor help them achieve the necessary GCSE English grades?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for top grades (7-9) in GCSE English. They can focus on the specific analytical and essay-writing skills needed to meet the entry requirements for sought-after sixth forms and colleges in the St Albans area.
We are aiming for a competitive humanities course at a Russell Group university. How can an English tutor support this long-term goal?
That's a great goal. An English tutor can help build the foundational skills needed for university-level study right from the GCSE stage. They'll work with your child on critical thinking, constructing sophisticated arguments, and developing a clear writing style—all of which are essential for a successful university application and future studies.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications and experience. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that will work best for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How can online tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a safe, supportive environment makes a huge difference. Your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed, and the tutor can praise their progress and gently correct mistakes. This personalised encouragement is fantastic for building self-esteem.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This means you can find an excellent, qualified tutor that fits your family's budget.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors must pass an identity check and have a valid DBS background check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond core subjects like English and Maths, your child can learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language. It's a great way to support their hobbies and personal development as well as their schoolwork.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour session per week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, this is completely flexible. You can discuss what's best for your child's goals and your schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to make learning engaging and simple. It includes an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space to share documents. It’s easy to use and means your child can learn from the comfort of your own home.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the English curriculum, like Shakespeare or poetry analysis?
Yes, definitely. The great thing about one-to-one tutoring is that lessons can be tailored to exactly what your child finds most challenging, whether it's getting to grips with 'An Inspector Calls' or understanding unseen poetry. Just let the tutor know what you'd like to focus on.
How can I track my child's progress?
The best way is to have regular chats with your child's tutor. They can provide feedback on how your child is doing, what they've been covering in sessions, and what the next steps are. This open communication ensures you're always part of their learning journey.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
