Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic English Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

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're aiming for a place at Ermysted's or Skipton Girls' High. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ exam. They can focus on key areas like verbal reasoning, reading comprehension, and building a strong vocabulary to help your child feel confident and prepared for the test.
My child is thinking about university in the North, like York or Lancaster. How can English tutoring help now?
Building strong English skills early on is fantastic preparation for university. A tutor can help your child develop the critical thinking and essay writing abilities that are essential for A-Levels and higher education. This foundational support can make a big difference when they come to apply for competitive courses.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is key to their success.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right student-tutor relationship is vital. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked with an enhanced DBS check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the UK's best.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. A tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement, helping them to rebuild their self-belief at their own pace.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find someone who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child's individual needs. It could involve working through tricky homework, practising exam questions for the 11+ or GCSEs, analysing a poem, or planning an essay. The tutor will focus on the areas where your child needs the most support.
How do I track my child's progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message them at any time to ask questions or discuss their progress. Open communication is a key part of the partnership between you, your child, and their tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish to getting to grips with coding, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
Is Tutorful a trusted platform?
Yes, we are proud to have helped over 200,000 students achieve their goals. We have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews from parents just like you, so you can feel confident that you're in safe hands.
