Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for top A-Level courses at a competitive Guildford college. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure top GCSE grades (8s and 9s) needed for competitive sixth forms and colleges. They can focus on the specific exam board your child is studying, refine their exam technique, and build the deep subject knowledge required to stand out.
We're worried about the step up to a Russell Group university. Can tutoring help prepare my child?
Yes, definitely. Beyond just exam grades, our tutors help develop crucial independent thinking and analytical skills that are vital for university-level study. They can also provide guidance on crafting a compelling personal statement that showcases your child's passion for English.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents – we have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat so you can discuss your child's needs and see if it's a good match before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important, which is 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 much does online English tutoring 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 long-term contracts.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every one to ensure they have the right experience and a passion for teaching. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one attention makes a huge difference. In a private setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor can break down difficult topics, like understanding Shakespearean language, and celebrate small wins, which helps your child feel more capable and less anxious about their abilities.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents and past papers. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This really depends on your child's goals. Many students have one session a week to stay on track, but you might choose more frequent lessons in the run-up to exams. It's completely flexible and you can discuss the best approach with your tutor.
Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?
Not at all. We operate on a pay-as-you-go basis, so you're not tied into any long-term commitments. You can book lessons week by week, giving you complete flexibility to fit tutoring around your family's needs.
Can tutoring really improve my child's GCSE grades?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. Our focused, one-to-one approach can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to two grades. It gives them the dedicated support they need to tackle their specific challenges and reach their full potential.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Alongside core academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, your child can learn everything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking a new language.
