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.

asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a grammar school in Redbridge. Can a tutor help with 11+ English preparation?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ entrance exams. They have experience with the specific comprehension and creative writing skills needed for competitive entrance tests for schools like Ilford County High, and can create a tailored plan to help your child feel prepared and confident.
My child wants to go to Leyton Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grades?
Yes, our tutors are brilliant at helping students aim for specific goals. They can focus on the GCSE English Language and Literature curriculum to help your child secure the grades they need for their chosen sixth form. We can even help boost your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right personal fit is crucial. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, just 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 best English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals to ensure it's a good match.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How are your tutors vetted?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a rigorous selection process, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted. Every tutor is interviewed by our team, has their ID verified, and undergoes a background check.
How does online tutoring work?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a microphone, camera, and a stable internet connection.
Can tutoring help my child if they lack confidence in English?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe and encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. This personalised attention often leads to a big boost in their confidence.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your chosen tutor.
How quickly can we start?
You can often start very quickly. Many tutors are available to book within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like and use their calendar to book a time that works for your family.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to discuss how things are going. The one-to-one format means the tutor is constantly assessing your child's understanding and adapting the lessons accordingly.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find tutors for modern languages, musical instruments like guitar, and even practical skills like coding.
