Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form like Harris Westminster. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students prepare for entry exams and interviews for selective sixth forms. They can help your child hone their essay-writing skills and analytical abilities to meet the high standards required for entry.
Can an English tutor help with university applications to places like King's College London or LSE?
Definitely. A core part of applying to top humanities or law courses is the personal statement. An experienced English tutor can help your child articulate their ideas clearly and persuasively, ensuring their application showcases their passion and academic ability.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have said about them. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will get on with. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute video chat to say hello before you book.
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 much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and they all undergo a thorough background check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
How do online lessons 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 simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week works best, especially for keeping up with schoolwork or preparing for exams like GCSEs. However, it's completely flexible and you can arrange a schedule that works for you and your child with your chosen tutor.
Can tutoring help my child build confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor helps your child feel more comfortable asking questions and trying new things. As they see their skills improve, their self-belief grows, which often has a positive impact on all their subjects.
How can I track my child's progress?
The best way is to chat with the tutor. They will be happy to give you regular feedback on how your child is doing, what they've been working on, and the progress they're making towards their goals. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding in Python, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
Why should I choose Tutorful?
We're trusted by thousands of parents, with over 4,100 reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating. With over 200,000 happy students, we focus on matching your child with a tutor who not only knows their subject but who can also inspire and support them on their learning journey.
