Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to Walsall College. Can a tutor help them meet the GCSE English entry requirements?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced in helping students aim for specific grades needed for college entry. They can focus on the exact areas of the GCSE English curriculum your child needs to strengthen to secure a Grade 5 or above, giving them the best possible chance of getting a place on their desired course.
Are there tutors who understand the requirements for local sixth forms around Darlaston?
Yes. Our tutors have a deep understanding of the UK curriculum and what's needed to progress to A-Levels. They can help your child build the analytical and writing skills that competitive sixth forms look for, ensuring their GCSE performance truly reflects their ability and helps their application stand out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's really simple. You can use our search filters to find tutors with experience in a specific area, like GCSE English Literature. Watch their intro videos, read reviews from other parents, and send messages to a few to find the perfect fit before you book. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is, which is 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 are your tutors vetted?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked with an enhanced DBS check. We also conduct a video interview and verify their qualifications. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
Confidence is often the biggest hurdle. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors help rebuild that self-belief, which often makes the biggest difference to their results.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or charges.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Yes, and many families find it even more effective. Our online classroom has interactive tools like a shared whiteboard that make learning engaging. Plus, with no travel time, it's easier to fit regular, consistent lessons into a busy family schedule, which is key for making real progress.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons are tailored to your child's needs. A session might start with a quick review of the last topic, then move onto tackling a new concept, like analysing a poem. Tutors use the interactive whiteboard to share resources, work through examples together, and set small tasks to check understanding. It's focused, collaborative, and all about your child.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we have expert tutors for all core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor for them on Tutorful.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Most lessons are one hour long, and most students find a weekly session is the perfect rhythm for steady progress. However, you are in complete control. You can discuss what works best for your child and your family directly with your chosen tutor.
Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?
No, there are no long-term commitments or contracts. You can book lessons one at a time or schedule a regular slot with your tutor. It's completely flexible to suit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
