Professional English tutor
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.

Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic English Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to get into Cardinal Newman College or Blackpool Sixth Form. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students secure the top GCSE grades needed for competitive colleges. They can focus on the specific skills and exam techniques required to help your child meet the entry requirements and feel confident in their application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check ratings from other parents (we have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews), and even send a message to a tutor before booking to make sure they're the right fit for your child's personality and learning goals.
What 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 for any reason, 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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform is ID and background-checked. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can tutoring help if my child lacks confidence in English?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor builds confidence by celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics into manageable steps, which can make a huge difference to how they feel about the subject.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone. They'll be able to see and speak to their tutor, share documents, and use an interactive whiteboard, just as if they were in the same room.
My child attends a local school like Saint Aidan's. Can a tutor support their specific schoolwork?
Yes, our tutors are experts in the national curriculum and can tailor lessons to complement what your child is learning at school. By focusing on the same topics, they can help fill in any gaps, reinforce their understanding, and prepare them for school tests and exams.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can discuss lesson length with your tutor, as they are often flexible to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
My child finds English boring. How can a tutor help?
A great tutor can bring English to life! They can find ways to connect texts and topics to your child's own interests, whether that's through film, music, or modern articles. Making the subject relevant and engaging is often the key to sparking their enthusiasm.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum! As well as English, Maths, and Science, you can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to coding languages like Python or even public speaking.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you could be having your first lesson within 24 hours. It's designed to be as simple and fast as possible.
