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
My child is at Sir Harry Smith Community College. Can a tutor help them stand out for sixth form applications in Peterborough?
Absolutely. This is exactly where a tutor can help. They can work with your child to deepen their subject knowledge and refine their exam technique, helping them aim for the higher grades that make an application stand out to competitive post-16 providers.
Are tutors familiar with the pressures Whittlesey students face for post-16 options?
Many of our tutors have extensive experience helping students with precisely these challenges. They understand the importance of securing top GCSE grades to open up A-Level choices and can tailor their support to build both the skills and confidence your child needs to succeed.
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 to find someone your child will get on with. Finding the right personality match is just as important as their expertise.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically start from £20 per hour. You can see the cost clearly on each tutor's profile, helping you find an experienced and affordable tutor that fits your budget.
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 first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. It's part of our First Lesson Guarantee.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and must pass a background check before they can join our platform. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
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, so it's just like being in the same room. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with both GCSE English Language and English Literature?
Yes, most of our English tutors are experts in both and can create a learning plan that covers everything your child needs, from analysing poetry and plays for Literature to mastering persuasive writing for Language.
My child isn't failing, they just lack a bit of confidence. Can a tutor still help?
Definitely. Tutoring is fantastic for building confidence. The one-to-one attention in a supportive space allows your child to ask questions they might not ask in class, helping them feel much more positive about the subject.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's English results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but regular weekly lessons can make a big difference quite quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So alongside core academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, your child can also learn practical skills like coding, a new language, or even how to play a musical instrument like the guitar.
How do I book and pay for lessons?
Once you've chosen a tutor, you can book lessons directly from their profile. Payments are handled securely online through the platform, so you never have to worry about paying in cash. It's simple and safe.
