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).

Cerise S
Experienced GCSE Home Economics & English Tutor
I'm a postgraduate in International Law and Politics, I have considerable understanding producing structured answers to questi ons within the social sciences field, including assessing sources, research and creating experiments. I'm an experienced tutor in English, having taken over 30 students through to GCSE (AQA), with all reaching the 2-grade minimum increase from their original grade average. Whilst I don't promise this, this is always my end goal. I aim to provide a place for inquisitiveness and contextual awareness: the point is to offer my students a place to ask questions, there's no time...
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're worried about competition for sixth form places. Can a tutor really help my child get the GCSE English grades they need?
Absolutely. It's a common concern, and targeted support can make a huge difference. Our focused, one-to-one approach helps students improve their grades significantly, with many improving their GCSE results by up to two grades. A tutor can help your child master the specific skills needed to meet the entry requirements for competitive programmes.
My child hopes to apply to a Russell Group university like LSE or King's. How can an English tutor support this goal?
That's a fantastic goal. Tutors can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills that top universities look for. They'll go beyond the curriculum to foster critical thinking and articulate arguments persuasively, which is essential for a strong A-Level performance and a compelling university application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents just like you. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child connects with.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget. All costs are shown upfront on their profiles, so there are no surprises.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked, and we personally interview each one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
What happens if we don't click with the 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.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the most important things a tutor can do. The one-to-one environment is a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, tutors help rebuild self-belief, which often has the biggest impact on grades.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work through everything from analysing poetry to planning essays together.
How quickly will we see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our approach gets results. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and a more positive attitude towards their studies.
What's the difference between English Language and English Literature tutoring?
A tutor can help with both, and many students need support across the two. English Language focuses on reading non-fiction, creative writing, and analysing how writers use language. English Literature is about studying set texts like novels, plays, and poems, and developing essay-writing skills.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to code in Python, play the guitar, or speak a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests and develop new skills.
How flexible are the lesson times?
Very flexible. Because our tutors are based across the UK, you can find sessions in the evenings, at weekends, or even during school holidays. You can easily see each tutor's availability on their profile and find a time that fits around your family's schedule.
