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.
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form near Camberwell. Can a tutor help them get the English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many parents in your position use Tutorful to help their child secure the grades needed for top sixth forms. Our tutors can focus specifically on the essay-writing and analytical skills required to turn a grade 5 or 6 into the 7 or above that these institutions often look for in English.
We're hoping for a top London university. How can an English tutor help with that A-Level journey?
A-Level English requires a big step up in critical thinking. A tutor can provide invaluable one-to-one support, helping your child to develop the sophisticated arguments and detailed analysis that universities like King's College or LSE expect from their applicants. They can guide them through complex texts and help them prepare for the rigours of undergraduate study.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to ask about their experience. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, who has a proven track record in the specific area you need help with, whether that's GCSE Language or A-Level Literature.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. 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.
How do online lessons actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find an expert who fits your family's budget.
Are the tutors on your platform background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID-checked and has an up-to-date DBS background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted professional.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to progress. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. A great tutor celebrates small wins and builds their self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their grades.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?
While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or develop their creative writing skills, you can find a brilliant tutor for them on Tutorful.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE texts, like the poetry anthology?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors are experts in the current curriculum. They can provide targeted help with any specific text your child is studying, whether it's 'An Inspector Calls', the poetry anthology, or 'Macbeth', helping them to understand key themes and analyse quotes effectively.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is the perfect amount to build momentum and see real progress without overwhelming their child. However, the schedule is completely flexible and you can arrange sessions with your tutor as often as you feel is necessary.
How long is a typical online tutoring session?
The standard lesson length is one hour. This gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child losing focus. You can, however, arrange longer or shorter sessions with your tutor if you feel that would be more beneficial.
