Lina H
Professional and inspiring English and English tutor
Maths is usually the subject students struggle with most at school mainly due to the lack of individual help during lessons.

In my opinion the first objective of private tutoring in maths should be to systematically deal with those gaps, which are usually identified within the first couple of lessons. Once the gaps are covered, we can then proceed to cover the necessary course material based on individual requirements.I have extensive e...

asked questions
See all FAQs
The local sixth forms in Whitechapel are very competitive. Can a tutor help my child secure a place?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in preparing students for competitive entry. They can focus on strengthening your child's GCSE English performance, which is often a key requirement for A-Level subjects and a strong indicator for top sixth forms.
My child is aiming for a competitive London university like Queen Mary. Can a tutor help with this?
Definitely. Our English tutors can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve the high A-Level grades required by prestigious universities. Many also have experience with personal statement support and university application guidance.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We understand that finding the right personality match is crucial. 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 can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from a trusted and highly-qualified expert.
My child has lost confidence in English. Can tutoring help?
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A one-to-one environment gives your child a safe space to ask questions and build understanding at their own pace, away from classroom pressures. This personalised support is fantastic for rebuilding their self-belief.
How much does an online English tutor in Whitechapel cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Will a tutor help with the specific exam board my child is studying?
Yes. Most of our tutors have experience with all the major UK exam boards (like AQA, Edexcel, and OCR). You can see which boards a tutor specialises in on their profile and can confirm with them directly in a message.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson a week, as this provides consistency and allows them to build on their learning. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your tutor to fit your family's schedule.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
The standard lesson length is one hour. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. You can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor if needed.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something different?
While we have experts for every school subject, we also offer tutoring for a huge range of other skills! From learning to play the guitar or piano to mastering new languages or coding in Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
