Myles M
Myles was a great tutor for my daughter, who was struggling with school. Homeschooling, alongside lessons with Myles, gave her the confidence she needed to pass maths GCSE and get into her chosen college and course :)

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
Can a tutor help my child with the specific A-Level entry requirements for Porth Community School or Coleg y Cymoedd?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the specific grade requirements for college entry. During your free chat with a potential tutor, you can discuss your child's goals and the requirements for local colleges to ensure they are the right fit to help your child get there.
We're hoping for a place at Cardiff University. Can a tutor support with the step-up from GCSE to A-Level English?
Yes, they can. The jump from GCSE to A-Level can be challenging. Our tutors can help bridge that gap by building on your child's GCSE knowledge and introducing the more advanced analytical and critical thinking skills needed for A-Level success and university applications.
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 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 the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
My child is interested in creative writing, not just exam prep. Do you offer that?
Yes, we do! While many parents come to us for exam support, our tutors cover a huge range of skills. We have tutors who specialise in creative writing, public speaking, and even learning an instrument. You can find a tutor to help your child explore their passions beyond the school curriculum.
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 shortlisting a few and sending them a message to arrange a free 15-minute chat. This is the perfect way to see if their teaching style and personality are a good match for your child before booking a lesson.
How much does an online English tutor in Ferndale cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience. You can easily see the price per hour on each tutor's profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a secure and engaging space where your child can learn and ask questions comfortably from home.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. A tutor provides a safe, one-to-one space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps them see that they *can* do it, which makes a huge difference to their self-belief.
How are your tutors vetted?
We take your child's safety and quality of education very seriously. Every tutor must pass an ID and background check. We also interview them to assess their expertise and passion for teaching. We're proud to say we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
The standard lesson length is one hour. We find this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is ideal for steady progress, especially in the run-up to exams. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange lessons as often as you need, whether that's a one-off session for a tricky essay or more frequent lessons for intensive revision.
What results can I expect from English tutoring?
While every child's journey is unique, our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs specifically, our students often improve by up to two grades. More importantly, you can expect to see your child's confidence grow as they become more comfortable and capable in the subject.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
