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're aiming for a grammar school in Chelmsford or Colchester. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ entrance exam preparation. They can help your child build confidence in key areas like creative writing, comprehension, and verbal reasoning, giving them the tools they need to perform at their best.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in Witham schools?
While our tutors are based across the UK, they are experts in the National Curriculum. They can tailor lessons to support what your child is learning in their Witham school, helping to reinforce classroom topics and fill in any gaps.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents like you, and watch their short introductory videos. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat, so you and your child can talk to them before booking to make sure it's a good match.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the right fit. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your 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.
How much does online English tutoring cost in Witham?
Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are displayed clearly on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and interviewed by our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted professional.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can do wonders for a child's confidence. In a safe space where it's okay to make mistakes, they can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class, helping them feel more capable and positive about their learning.
Can a tutor help with my child's GCSE English exams?
Yes, many of our tutors are GCSE specialists. They can help your child with everything from analysing texts like *An Inspector Calls* to improving their exam technique. Our support can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
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 directly through the platform. The one-to-one nature of the lessons means the tutor gets a clear understanding of your child's strengths and the areas they need to work on.
How long is a typical online lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time for focused learning. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects like English and Maths, you can also find tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to modern languages. It's all about helping your child pursue their interests.
