Emily H
Enthusiastic English Tutor
I am a qualified teacher that aims to tailor my approach to the individual student by setting clear goals and focusing on areas in which to grow confidence. I believe effective tutoring is about delivering complex concepts in simple terms with patience, encouragement and enthusiasm. Also, I believe that encouraging deep questioning on topics where there may be misunderstanding or a lack of enthusiasm is an excellent learning mechanism. Developing strong relationships with students means that parallels can be drawn between what is being studied, and the students’ own life experiences, which makes f...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at Royal Holloway. Can a tutor help with this goal?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience helping students secure the top GCSE and A-Level grades needed for competitive universities. They can focus on developing the advanced analytical and writing skills that admissions teams look for, giving your child the best possible preparation.
We're aiming for a top local college in Surrey. Can we find a tutor who understands the requirements?
Absolutely. You can read tutors' profiles to see their experience and even send them a message before booking to discuss your child's specific goals. Many of our tutors are familiar with the standards of well-regarded colleges and can tailor lessons accordingly.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that finding the right personality match is key. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your 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.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and find the perfect fit.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on their profiles, with no hidden costs.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS check. We are very selective, only accepting 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help my child build confidence, not just their grades?
Absolutely. For many parents, this is the most important benefit. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. This one-to-one attention often leads to a huge boost in self-belief that extends beyond English lessons.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding or public speaking, you can find a tutor to support your child's hobbies and passions too.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about what they enjoy, what they find tricky, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed session designed to build a good relationship and create a plan for future lessons.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor if needed – it's completely flexible.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are handled securely and easily through the Tutorful platform. Once a lesson is complete, your payment is automatically processed, so you don't have to worry about cash or bank transfers.
