Lucy C
Experienced English Tutor - KS3, GCSE, A level, University
Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced online tutor and examiner, who has been teaching English Language & Literature and Religious Studies online since 2013. I am a fully qualified teacher with a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education.While I am a passionate tutor of each of these two subjects individually, more importantly I feel that my experience in each subject contributes something to the other. For example, my knowledge of Biblical and Greek mythological references from my study of world religions is often really useful when interpreting certain texts by Shakespeare or other non-contemporary...

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

Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for Hills Road or Long Road Sixth Form College?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping students strengthen their applications for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific skills and grade requirements needed, helping your child build a strong academic profile to give them the best chance of securing a place.

My child attends Sawston Village College. Can a tutor work alongside their school curriculum?

Yes, that's one of the main benefits. A private tutor can complement the work your child is doing at Sawston Village College, reinforcing classroom learning, plugging any gaps in their knowledge, and providing extra practice in areas they find challenging.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat before you book, so you and your child can get a feel for their teaching style and ensure it's a good match.

How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?

Confidence often comes from understanding. When a tutor explains something in a way that finally 'clicks' for your child, it can be a huge boost. This one-to-one attention in a supportive space helps them feel comfortable asking questions they might not ask in a busy classroom.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

How do online lessons actually work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a convenient and effective way to learn from the comfort of your own home.

Is tutoring just for academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core academics like English, Maths and Science, we also have expert tutors who can teach everything from coding and guitar to foreign languages and music production.

Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?

Yes, definitely. Most English tutors are experienced in teaching both the Language and Literature GCSEs. You can check their profiles for specific expertise or discuss your child's needs with them directly to ensure they cover all the required texts and skills.

How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?

Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's confidence and attitude towards a subject within just a few weeks. We know that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.

What happens in a typical first lesson?

The first lesson is usually about getting to know your child. The tutor will chat with them about their goals, what they enjoy (and don't enjoy!) about English, and assess their current strengths and weaknesses. This helps them create a tailored learning plan for future sessions.
