Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Matthew has been teaching my son since September and he absolutely enjoys the lessons. He explains writing in a way my son can understand, and we’ve already seen a boost in his confidence.
Really friendly, patient, and supportive — we’re very happy with the progress so far. Highly recommend!

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

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.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for Bexley and Kent grammar schools. Can we find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ entrance exams, including those for local grammar schools like Townley and Beths. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in 11+ preparation and mention it in your introductory message.
Can an online tutor help with the verbal reasoning and comprehension parts of the 11+?
Definitely. These are key areas where one-to-one tuition can make a huge difference. A tutor can work through practice papers with your child, teach them techniques for understanding complex texts, and help them build the vocabulary and reasoning skills needed to feel confident on exam day.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Start by reading tutor profiles and reviews from other parents. Look for tutors with experience in the specific area your child needs help with, whether it's GCSE exam technique or 11+ preparation. We recommend messaging a few tutors to find a personality and teaching style that you feel is the right fit for your child.
How much does an English tutor in Plumstead cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £15 to £35 per hour depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can easily find someone who fits your family's budget.
How are the tutors vetted?
We take your child's safety and quality of education very seriously. Every tutor must provide a valid DBS check, professional references, and undergo an interview. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from a pool of highly qualified, trusted professionals.
How can online tutoring help my child build confidence?
The one-to-one environment of online tutoring creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling shy or embarrassed. When a tutor tailors lessons to their pace and helps them overcome specific hurdles, your child gets a real sense of achievement, which is a fantastic confidence booster.
What happens if we don't get on with our first tutor?
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 we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long, and most families find that one session per week is a great starting point. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your schedule.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has all the tools needed for an engaging lesson, including an interactive whiteboard and video chat.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of skills beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find expert tutors on our platform.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can start looking for a tutor right away. Many of our tutors respond to messages within a few hours, and you could have your first lesson booked in just a day or two. It's a quick and simple process.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are handled securely and simply through the platform. After each lesson is completed, your payment is automatically processed using the card details you provide when you sign up. There's no need for cash or awkward conversations.
