Hi! I’m a fully qualified UK primary teacher with over five years of classroom experience, and I now specialise in 1:1 tutoring for children aged 5–11. I’ve taught every year group from Reception to Year 6 and have helped many children grow in confidence — especially in phonics, maths, reading and SATs preparation.I started tutoring because I’ve seen first-hand how personalised support can unlock a child’s potential.

Holly 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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Thamesmead and are aiming for a Bexley grammar school. Can a tutor help my child with the 11+ English paper?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have specific experience with the format of the Bexley Selection Tests. They can help your child build confidence in key areas like comprehension, vocabulary, and verbal reasoning, using practice papers and targeted exercises to get them ready for the exam.
My child is worried about their GCSE English results. Can you really help them improve?
Yes, we see fantastic progress. Our data shows that we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades. A dedicated tutor can focus on your child's specific areas of weakness, whether that's exam technique, understanding poetry, or essay writing, giving them the tools and confidence to succeed.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know how important the right fit is for your child's learning. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I know the tutors are qualified and safe to teach my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict selection process, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed by a member of our team, and we carry out comprehensive background checks, including an enhanced DBS check, to ensure they are safe and suitable to work with children.
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. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their experience with a specific goal, like 11+ preparation or GCSE revision, to make sure you find the perfect match.
My child lacks confidence in English. How can one-to-one tutoring help?
Confidence is often the biggest barrier to progress. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. Tutors provide constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which helps build self-esteem and a more positive attitude towards the subject.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.
What does a typical online English lesson look like?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a two-way video call and an interactive whiteboard. Tutors and students can share files, draw diagrams, and work through problems together in real-time. It's a collaborative and engaging way to learn from the comfort of your home.
How effective is online tutoring compared to in-person?
Online tutoring is highly effective. It gives you access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those who live locally. Our interactive classroom and the ability to re-watch recorded lessons provide a rich learning experience. Over 200,000 happy students have found success with Tutorful.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn a new language, master a musical instrument like the guitar, or get to grips with a practical skill like coding, you can find experienced and passionate tutors to help them explore their interests.
How often should my child have tutoring sessions?
Most families find that a one-hour session per week is ideal for steady progress. However, this is completely flexible. You might want more frequent sessions in the run-up to an exam, or less frequent ones for general confidence building. You can discuss what's best with your chosen tutor.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for a tutor, send them a message to check their availability, and you can often have your first lesson booked within 24-48 hours. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute video chat to say hello and discuss your child's goals before you commit.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
