I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment.

I would help...

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
We're preparing for the entrance exam at Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School (BRGS). Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for 11+ and grammar school entrance exams. They can build a tailored plan focusing on the key areas, like verbal reasoning and comprehension, to help your child feel calm and prepared.
My child goes to Haslingden High. Can a tutor help them aim for top GCSE English grades?
Yes, of course. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can provide targeted support to help your child move up a grade boundary. They can help with everything from analysing set texts to perfecting exam technique, building the skills needed for A-Levels and beyond.
What happens 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 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple to find the perfect match on our platform. You can filter tutors by their experience, what level they teach, and their price. Read their bios, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents to find someone you and your child will feel comfortable with.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes a live video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and examples, and the ability to upload documents like essays or past papers. It's a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of home.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tuition creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor can go at your child's pace, celebrate their small wins, and break down tricky topics, which all helps to build their self-belief.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one to ensure they are experienced and passionate about teaching. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in good hands.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on a tutor's experience and qualifications. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you just pay for the lessons you book.
Can a tutor help with specific texts, like 'Macbeth' or the GCSE poetry anthology?
Definitely. Our tutors are very familiar with the texts on the school curriculum. They can create lessons specifically focused on helping your child understand characters, themes, and key quotes, making revision much more manageable.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic properly without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor if you feel that would work better.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language or even music production.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for an exam, while others have regular weekly sessions to build their skills over time. It's completely flexible, and something you can discuss with your tutor.
