Hii I’m a recent Masters graduate in Drug Design at UCL. I also have a BSc in Pharmacology and Physiology with a First Class Honours. I’m a self-certified foodie and love both baking and cooking and the science behind the art. I love reading, especially thriller and horror, and as I’ve gotten older I’ve started to develop an appreciation for gardening and growing - although unfortunately I’m still quite bad at keeping plants alive.I have tutored many students in the past 6 years at different levels from 11+ to A level - they all achieved the good grades in their exams needed to progress forward i...

Krishni R
Experienced GCSE English tutor and enthusiast in English
Hi there, my name is Krishni! I am a Law and Sociology graduate from the University of Warwick, and now I am doing my legal masters. From all the trial and errors I have undergone, my mission is to transform grades and confidence.I had struggled throughout school in terms of focus and struggling with the ‘one-size-fits all’ approach school teachers left me with. I would constantly get reprimanded and disheartened with my grades. After many MANY trial and errors, I finally figured out how to personalise and tailor the curriculum to ME and saw results almost straight away. This tailoring method is ...

My son had a few English GCSE lessons with Ian now and he’s been great. He explains things clearly, is very patient, and always gives helpful feedback. He even stays a bit longer sometimes to finish the lesson properly. Really appreciate his support!

Megan G
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.

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.

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 is aiming for a grammar school place. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English paper?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can help your child build the specific comprehension, vocabulary, and writing skills needed to feel confident and prepared for the exam.
We live in Romford and are targeting schools like The Campion School. Can a tutor help my child's application stand out?
Of course. While tutors don't assist with the application itself, they can help your child develop the strong foundational English skills that lead to excellent grades and a confident academic profile, which is key for entry into competitive schools.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
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, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
My child is losing confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild that self-belief.
How much does an online English tutor in Romford cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find an excellent tutor who fits your family's budget.
How do the online lessons actually work?
It's very simple. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback, and you can message them at any time to discuss your child's development. You'll also see it in their growing confidence and, very often, in their school results.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a DBS background check. We interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 applicants to ensure the highest quality.
What levels of English do your tutors cover?
Our tutors cover everything from primary school and 11+ preparation right through to GCSE, A-Level, and even degree-level English. You can filter your search to find a tutor with the right experience for your child's specific needs.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
Most families find that one session a week is a great starting point. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange lessons as often as you and the tutor feel is necessary, especially in the run-up to exams.
Is it only for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So, alongside core academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, your child can absolutely learn a new hobby or skill, from playing a musical instrument to coding in Python.
