Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study A-Levels at Harlow College. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary English GCSE grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and have a great track record of helping students secure the Grade 5 or above needed for A-Level courses. They can focus on the specific areas of the English Language and Literature syllabus to build your child's confidence and exam technique.
How can an English tutor help my child with local career or apprenticeship opportunities in Harlow?
Strong communication skills are highly valued by employers. An English tutor can help your child with practical skills like writing a compelling CV, structuring a cover letter, and improving their overall written and verbal communication, which is a huge advantage when applying for apprenticeships and jobs.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect match. Think about your child's personality and learning style – a great tutor is someone your child will connect with and feel comfortable learning from.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, starting from £15 per hour. You can use our search filters to find an experienced tutor who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, so you can be completely confident in your choice.
How does online tutoring work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a function for sharing documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 can a tutor help my child if they lack confidence in English?
One-to-one attention from a patient and supportive tutor can do wonders for confidence. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps your child see their own progress, which is a powerful motivator.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families choose to have one lesson per week, as this consistency helps to build momentum. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your schedule.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also see their confidence grow as they start to tackle topics they once found difficult. Many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's attitude towards schoolwork.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like English and Maths?
Not at all! While we have thousands of amazing academic tutors, you can also find experts to help your child learn a new skill or hobby, from playing the guitar and learning to code, to speaking a new language.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first session is usually about getting to know your child. The tutor will chat with them about their goals, what they find challenging in English, and what they enjoy. It's a relaxed way to build a connection and create a plan for future lessons.
