Kathy F
Creative English tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior). I would help...

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 Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School. Can a tutor help with the entrance exam?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for 11+ and grammar school entrance exams. They can focus on building the core comprehension, vocabulary, and writing skills your child will need, as well as helping them feel more confident with exam techniques.
My child hopes to go to a top university in the North West. How can an English tutor help with that?
Strong A-Level English grades are often a key requirement. A tutor can provide in-depth support with their set texts and coursework. They can also be a fantastic mentor when it comes to writing a compelling personal statement, helping your child articulate their passion for their chosen subject.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their approach to helping children with specific goals, like preparing for GCSEs.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-belief and rediscover a love for the subject.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can join our platform. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring you get the very best.
How much does an online English tutor 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 someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. There's an interactive whiteboard for working through problems, a chat function for asking questions, and the ability to share files and resources. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This really depends on your child's needs and your family's schedule. Many parents find a one-hour lesson once a week is perfect for consistent progress, but you can arrange sessions more or less frequently by discussing it directly with your tutor.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE English topics, like Shakespeare?
Yes, definitely. Tutors can provide focused support on any area of the curriculum your child finds tricky. Whether it's analysing the language in 'An Inspector Calls' or structuring a persuasive writing piece, their tutor can tailor lessons to exactly what they need to cover.
How do I know if tutoring is actually working?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You'll also see it in their growing confidence and, over time, in their schoolwork and results. You can message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going and what the focus of upcoming lessons will be.
Is tutoring just for core school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for Maths, English, and Science, we also have experts who can teach practical skills like coding and music theory, or even help your child learn a new language or how to play the guitar. There's a huge range of subjects to explore.
