Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Sir Harry Smith Community College. Can a tutor help them stand out for sixth form applications in Peterborough?
Absolutely. This is exactly where a tutor can help. They can work with your child to deepen their subject knowledge and refine their exam technique, helping them aim for the higher grades that make an application stand out to competitive post-16 providers.
Are tutors familiar with the pressures Whittlesey students face for post-16 options?
Many of our tutors have extensive experience helping students with precisely these challenges. They understand the importance of securing top GCSE grades to open up A-Level choices and can tailor their support to build both the skills and confidence your child needs to succeed.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will get on with. Finding the right personality match is just as important as their expertise.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically start from £20 per hour. You can see the cost clearly on each tutor's profile, helping you find an experienced and affordable tutor that fits your budget.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 your first session with a new tutor. It's part of our First Lesson Guarantee.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and must pass a background check before they can join our platform. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, so it's just like being in the same room. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with both GCSE English Language and English Literature?
Yes, most of our English tutors are experts in both and can create a learning plan that covers everything your child needs, from analysing poetry and plays for Literature to mastering persuasive writing for Language.
My child isn't failing, they just lack a bit of confidence. Can a tutor still help?
Definitely. Tutoring is fantastic for building confidence. The one-to-one attention in a supportive space allows your child to ask questions they might not ask in class, helping them feel much more positive about the subject.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's English results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but regular weekly lessons can make a big difference quite quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So alongside core academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, your child can also learn practical skills like coding, a new language, or even how to play a musical instrument like the guitar.
How do I book and pay for lessons?
Once you've chosen a tutor, you can book lessons directly from their profile. Payments are handled securely online through the platform, so you never have to worry about paying in cash. It's simple and safe.
