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.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a competitive grammar school like The Latymer School. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can help your child build the core vocabulary, comprehension, and reasoning skills needed for the exam, and work on practice papers to build their confidence and exam technique.
My child is worried their GCSE English grade will stop them from getting into their preferred A-Level course. Can a tutor help?
This is a common concern, and our tutors are here to help. They can identify the specific areas of the English GCSE curriculum your child finds tricky and create tailored lessons to strengthen those skills. We can even help your child improve their GCSE results by up to two grades, opening up more options for their future studies.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, check qualifications, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It’s all about finding someone your child will connect with.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and level, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.
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.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes a live video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes, and the ability to upload documents like essays or past papers. It's a simple and effective way to learn from home.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one to ensure they have the right experience and approach to help your child thrive.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their own pace and celebrating small wins, they can build a stronger understanding of the subject, which naturally leads to greater confidence in the classroom.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have thousands of academic tutors, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find tutors for learning a musical instrument like the guitar, practical skills like coding, or even a new language for fun.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which most students find is the perfect amount of time to cover a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a regular weekly session works best for consistent progress. But the frequency is completely up to you. You can discuss what's right for your child's goals and your family's schedule directly with your tutor.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first session is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about what they enjoy, what they find difficult in English, and what they want to achieve. It’s a relaxed way to build a plan for future lessons.
