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

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child hopes to apply to BHASVIC. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary English grade?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are very experienced with the GCSE curriculum and what top sixth form colleges look for. They can focus on helping your child master the specific skills needed to achieve a grade 5, 6 or higher, which is often a key entry requirement for competitive A-Level courses.
We live in Peacehaven, are the tutors local?
Our tutors are online and based all across the UK. This is a huge benefit as it gives you the best possible choice of English specialists who fit your child's needs, rather than being limited to who is available locally. Your child can learn from the comfort of your own home.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter by their experience with your child's exam board. Many also offer a free 15-minute chat so you and your child can meet them before booking a lesson.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 I be sure the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked via an enhanced DBS check. We also interview and vet every applicant, accepting only 1 in 8, to ensure the highest quality and safety for our students.
My child has lost confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor can pinpoint exactly where your child is struggling, break down difficult topics into manageable steps, and celebrate their progress, rebuilding their self-belief lesson by lesson.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience, and all rates are clearly displayed on their profiles. You can easily filter your search to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget, with no hidden costs or long-term contracts.
How do online lessons work?
All your child needs is a computer or laptop with a webcam and microphone. Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which features a digital whiteboard, file sharing, and video chat, making it an engaging and effective way to learn.
Will tutoring really improve my child's grade?
We see fantastic results. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs specifically, our focused, one-to-one support can help boost your child's results by up to two grades, giving them the best possible chance of success.
What GCSE English topics can a tutor help with?
Our tutors can cover the entire curriculum. Whether it's analysing quotes from 'An Inspector Calls', understanding poetic techniques, or mastering the structure for the creative writing paper, they can tailor sessions to what your child needs most.
Do you offer tutoring for skills other than school subjects?
Absolutely. As well as academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we have expert tutors who can help your child learn a musical instrument like the guitar, a new language, or even practical skills like coding.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most lessons are an hour long, and many parents find a weekly session works well, especially in the run-up to exams. However, it's completely flexible and you can discuss what's best for your child's goals directly with your chosen tutor.
