Friendly English tutor
Hi! I'm Kirsty, a published professional German-English and Portuguese-English translator. I have a great enthusiasm for all things Languages and Academia and I hope that my enthusiasm will rub off on you or your child. I have experience teaching English as a Second Language for six months, as well as working with autistic kids and teaching them about sailing through my partner's charity Autism on the Water, which I have been a part of for over a year now. I was also a 'Buddy' to help out other kids for two years when I was still in school myself and tutored children in Speech and Drama for three...

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 preparing for the Transfer Test for schools like Coleraine Grammar. Can a tutor help?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in preparing children for the 11+ and Transfer Tests. They have experience with the specific English requirements and can help your child build the core comprehension and writing skills needed, all while boosting their confidence before the exam.

We're thinking ahead to A-Levels and universities like Queen's or Ulster. Can a tutor support this?

Definitely. Our English tutors can provide support right through from primary school to A-Level. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve top grades and prepare a strong university application.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can read reviews from other parents, compare tutor profiles, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals.

How much does an online English tutor in Portrush cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

What if my child doesn't get on 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 does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child to learn and collaborate with their tutor from the comfort of home.

Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?

One-to-one attention from a patient and encouraging tutor can do wonders for a child's confidence. In a supportive environment, they feel more comfortable asking questions and trying new things without the fear of getting it wrong in front of a class.

What happens in a typical English lesson?

Every lesson is tailored to your child. A tutor might start by reviewing homework, then work through a tricky topic like poetry analysis or grammar rules using the interactive whiteboard, and finish by setting clear goals for the next session.

How long are the lessons and how often should they be?

Lessons are typically one hour long, and most families find that one session per week is a great way to build momentum. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we're experts in academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach practical and creative skills like coding, playing the guitar, or learning a new language. There's something for every interest!

Can I track my child's progress?

Yes, you can. You can message the tutor at any time to get feedback, and they will often share notes and progress updates with you after each session. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
