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
The local schools in Stamford are very competitive. Can a tutor help my child stand out?
Absolutely. In a competitive environment, personalised support can be a game-changer. A one-to-one tutor can focus entirely on your child's specific needs, whether that's strengthening their essay writing or deepening their textual analysis, helping them build the skills and confidence to perform at their best.
My child is hoping to apply to a top university like Cambridge. Can a tutor help with their personal statement?
Yes, many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students craft compelling personal statements. They can help your child structure their thoughts, refine their writing style, and articulate their ambitions clearly, which is a crucial skill for university applications.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 can a tutor help my child with their GCSE English exams?
Our tutors can provide focused support on specific set texts, improve exam technique, and build confidence in both English Language and Literature. Tutors tailor their approach to the exam board your child is studying, and we can help boost their final results by up to two grades.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of demand. You can filter your search by price to find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and professional?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply. All our tutors must pass an identity check and have a valid DBS or background check before they can teach on the platform.
Can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor creates a supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions they might not ask in class. This personalised attention often leads to a fantastic boost in their self-belief.
How long is a typical lesson and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most families find that one session a week is effective, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child with your chosen tutor. There are no contracts or minimum commitments.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we have experts in all core academic subjects, we also have talented tutors who can teach a wide range of skills, from learning an instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding or public speaking. You can find a tutor for almost any interest.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today. Simply search for a tutor, send them a message to check their availability, and you could have your first lesson booked in just a few clicks. Many of our 200,000+ happy students found their tutor in under 10 minutes.
