Hi there! I'm David - a fully qualified primary school teacher with over 10 years teaching experience. I've taught children with SEN, EAL, behavioural problems and gifted children, across all primary stages. In the past 2 years, I have been tutoring online.Most of my teaching has been in Year 6, specialising in getting children ready for the 11+ exams (English, Maths, Verbal & Non Verbal) and SATs papers (Reading, SPaG & Maths). I know how tricky and confusing it can be for children - and parents - in the lead up to these tests. Whilst tutoring online, I have been specifically focusing on bridging...

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...
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

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.

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
We live in Lambeth and are worried about the competition for grammar and independent school places. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping students prepare for 11+ exams and interviews for competitive schools. They can focus on developing the advanced comprehension, creative writing, and verbal reasoning skills that these entrance exams require, giving your child the confidence to perform at their best.
My child hopes to apply to a Russell Group university like King's or UCL. Can a tutor help with that level of English?
Yes, definitely. We have many tutors who are graduates from top universities themselves and specialise in A-Level English and university application support. They can help your child develop the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve top grades and write a compelling personal statement that stands out.
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 perfect 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.
Is tutoring just for core subjects like English and Maths?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects from primary level up to university, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language for fun, we can help you find an expert tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings and reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals—whether it's GCSE exam technique or building confidence in creative writing—to find the perfect fit.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
My child's confidence in English is low. Can a tutor really help with that?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a supportive, private setting, your child can ask questions they might be shy to ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics, which helps rebuild self-belief and a positive attitude towards learning.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and diagrams, and a space to upload documents like essays or past papers. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor must pass a background check and provide professional or academic references. We interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's needs. Most families start with one session a week to build momentum, but you can arrange lessons more or less frequently. You can discuss the best approach directly with your chosen tutor.
Can a tutor really help improve my child's GCSE English grade?
Yes, they can make a significant difference. Our data shows that we can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to two grades. Tutors can focus on specific areas of weakness, teach effective exam techniques, and build the core skills needed to achieve a higher grade.
How do I know Tutorful is a trusted platform?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students on their learning journey. We have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews from parents just like you, which we hope gives you confidence in the quality of support we provide.
