John H
Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Lucy C
Experienced English Tutor - KS3, GCSE, A level, University
Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced online tutor and examiner, who has been teaching English Language & Literature and Religious Studies online since 2013. I am a fully qualified teacher with a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education.While I am a passionate tutor of each of these two subjects individually, more importantly I feel that my experience in each subject contributes something to the other. For example, my knowledge of Biblical and Greek mythological references from my study of world religions is often really useful when interpreting certain texts by Shakespeare or other non-contemporary...

Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Matthew B
Matthew has been teaching my son since September and he absolutely enjoys the lessons. He explains writing in a way my son can understand, and we’ve already seen a boost in his confidence.
Really friendly, patient, and supportive — we’re very happy with the progress so far. Highly recommend!

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.

Myles was a great tutor for my daughter, who was struggling with school. Homeschooling, alongside lessons with Myles, gave her the confidence she needed to pass Maths GCSE and get into her chosen college and course :)

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child with the specific A-Level entry requirements for Porth Community School or Coleg y Cymoedd?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the specific grade requirements for college entry. During your free chat with a potential tutor, you can discuss your child's goals and the requirements for local colleges to ensure they are the right fit to help your child get there.
We're hoping for a place at Cardiff University. Can a tutor support with the step-up from GCSE to A-Level English?
Yes, they can. The jump from GCSE to A-Level can be challenging. Our tutors can help bridge that gap by building on your child's GCSE knowledge and introducing the more advanced analytical and critical thinking skills needed for A-Level success and university applications.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
My child is interested in creative writing, not just exam prep. Do you offer that?
Yes, we do! While many parents come to us for exam support, our tutors cover a huge range of skills. We have tutors who specialise in creative writing, public speaking, and even learning an instrument. You can find a tutor to help your child explore their passions beyond the school curriculum.
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 shortlisting a few and sending them a message to arrange a free 15-minute chat. This is the perfect way to see if their teaching style and personality are a good match for your child before booking a lesson.
How much does an online English tutor in Ferndale cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience. You can easily see the price per hour on each tutor's profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a secure and engaging space where your child can learn and ask questions comfortably from home.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. A tutor provides a safe, one-to-one space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps them see that they *can* do it, which makes a huge difference to their self-belief.
How are your tutors vetted?
We take your child's safety and quality of education very seriously. Every tutor must pass an ID and background check. We also interview them to assess their expertise and passion for teaching. We're proud to say we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
The standard lesson length is one hour. We find this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is ideal for steady progress, especially in the run-up to exams. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange lessons as often as you need, whether that's a one-off session for a tricky essay or more frequent lessons for intensive revision.
What results can I expect from English tutoring?
While every child's journey is unique, our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs specifically, our students often improve by up to two grades. More importantly, you can expect to see your child's confidence grow as they become more comfortable and capable in the subject.
