I have been a teacher of both English Language and Literature for the past 5 years. I am proud to have been a help to a number of students who have gone on to successfully sit for their GCSEs. I am particularly experienced with the AQA GCSE exam format, but I am qualified to teach all exam boards.I am currently reading for my PhD at the University of York, where I am studying English romantic literature, with a particular focus on the study of Keats. I completed my PGCE at the University of Nottingham. However, I did my BA at the University of Malta as that is where I grew up before moving to the...

Aileen L
enthusiastic and encouraging English tutor
As an English tutor I have tutored all ages, but I specifically tutor A Level Literature where I have a wide knowledge of the curriculum - I have tutored students across all the examination boards. I am a happy and enthusiastic mature person, who believes strongly in education and the confidence and opportunities that can be gained. My first aim is to encourage and praise pupils in their work - I believe enjoyment of the subject is the key to doing well.

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 QEHS. Can a tutor help them stand out in a high-achieving class?
Absolutely. In a competitive school environment, one-to-one tuition can give your child the edge. A tutor can focus on the specific areas they need to master, helping them deepen their understanding and build the confidence to excel amongst their peers.
We're hoping for a place at Durham or Newcastle University. Can a tutor help with the personal statement?
Yes, many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students craft compelling personal statements. They can help your child structure their ideas, refine their writing, and showcase their strengths, which is a crucial part of the UCAS application process for competitive universities.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and a personality that will click with your child.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we personally interview them to assess their expertise and teaching style. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How much do online English tutors in Hexham 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 an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Will online tutoring really help my child if they struggle to focus?
Many parents find online tutoring is actually better for focus. The one-to-one attention means the lesson moves at your child's pace, and our interactive online classroom has tools like a whiteboard to keep them engaged. It's a focused environment without classroom distractions.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons are tailored to your child's needs. A session might involve working through a specific text they're studying in school, planning an essay structure, practising exam techniques, or simply building confidence in their reading and writing. The tutor will set goals with you and your child.
How quickly can we see an improvement in their English grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistent, tailored support can make a big difference quickly. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Sessions are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor.
How do I book and pay for lessons?
Once you've chosen a tutor, you can book and pay securely through the Tutorful platform. Your payment details are stored safely, and you're only charged 24 hours after a lesson has been completed.
