Lina H
Professional and inspiring English and English tutor
Maths is usually the subject students struggle with most at school mainly due to the lack of individual help during lessons. Students often don’t ask for help when faced with a topic they find hard and so they develop gaps in their learning, which in itself become problematic later on. In my opinion the first objective of private tutoring in maths should be to systematically deal with those gaps, which are usually identified within the first couple of lessons. Once the gaps are covered, we can then proceed to cover the necessary course material based on individual requirements.I have extensive e...

Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive school like Camden School for Girls. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Our tutors have extensive experience helping students meet the high academic standards required for entry into competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific curriculum, exam techniques, and essay skills needed to help your child achieve the top GCSE grades required.
We're worried about the essay skills needed for applications to universities like UCL or King's. Can a tutor focus on this?
Yes, this is a common goal we support. A tutor can work specifically on developing the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills that prestigious universities like UCL and King's College value highly. They can help your child learn how to structure compelling arguments and express their ideas with greater clarity.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If, for any reason, you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. It's really important to us that your child feels comfortable and supported.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills too?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all core academic areas from the 11+ to degree level, your child can also learn practical skills like coding or a musical instrument like the guitar. It's all about finding the right expert to support their learning journey.
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 shortlisting a few tutors who have experience with your child's specific goals—like GCSE English Literature—and sending them a message to see who feels like the best fit for your child's personality.
How much do online English tutors in Kentish Town cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £55 per hour, depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It’s simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child just needs a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection. You can book and manage all your lessons right from your account.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be hesitant to ask in class. Tutors can break down tricky topics, celebrate small wins, and adapt their teaching style, which helps your child feel capable and much more confident in their abilities.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed for progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. For grades, our data shows that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform must pass an ID check and have a valid DBS background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from a trusted and highly-qualified expert.
Can a tutor help with both GCSE English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experts in both GCSE English Language and English Literature and can create a learning plan that covers both. Whether your child needs help with analysing poetry for Literature or understanding persuasive techniques for Language, you can find a tutor who covers exactly what they need.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson per week, as this provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, you have complete flexibility. You might want to arrange more sessions in the run-up to an exam or fewer during school holidays. It's a conversation you can have directly with your tutor.
