Janine H
English Language and Literature English English
Over the past 20 years, I have had the opportunity to develop my teaching skills, gaining valuable experience in teaching learners who need extra support to overcome barriers to achieving. I am aware of issues affecting some learners which can and have over ridden their choice and chance of participating in education. My qualifications such as BA(Hons) Degree in Education where I used Autism in the classroom as my Dissertation, Certificate in Education, L3 Awareness in ASD and L5 Adult Specialist in English , are necessary to implement resources to motivate such barriers and complex needs, including...

Amy K
Experienced English tutor
Do you find English a challenge? If so, I am sure that I am the tutor for you. My pedagogical stance is simple: encouraging creativity and engagement will stop people thinking that English is a chore. My aim is to plan lessons to develop students’ critical thinking skills and ability to put their thoughts from brain to paper. Another important aim is for me to help students feel comfortable and confident within the subject, whether that is finding quotes to analyse, understanding concepts or improving on your spelling, punctuation and grammar. I have plenty of experience helping students to excel i...

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
My child is at a school in North Shields. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grades needed for A-Levels?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific GCSE grades, like a 6 or 7. They can focus on the exact areas of the curriculum your child finds challenging, helping them build the skills and confidence needed to secure a place on their chosen A-Level courses at a local sixth form or TyneMet College.
We're hoping for a place at Newcastle or Durham University. How can English tutoring help with that?
A strong GCSE and A-Level in English is a fantastic foundation for a competitive university application. Tutors can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills that admissions teams at universities like Newcastle and Durham look for. They can also provide support with personal statement writing, showcasing your child's passion for their chosen subject.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is so important. That’s why we have our first lesson guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit 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.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Think about your child's specific needs – do they need help with essay writing or understanding poetry? You can message tutors beforehand to discuss your child's goals and find the perfect match.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to learning. In a one-to-one session, your child gets a safe space to ask questions and make mistakes without fear of judgement. Celebrating small wins and breaking down difficult topics helps them see they *can* succeed, which is a huge confidence booster.
How much does an online English tutor 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 all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We also interview every applicant and are very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home, at a time that works for your family.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with academic subjects from the 11+ right through to degree level, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of hobbies and professional skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, we can help.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week works well, especially when preparing for exams like GCSEs. This allows for steady progress and gives your child time to practise what they've learned. You can easily arrange a schedule that suits your child's needs directly with your tutor.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Sessions are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
Why should I choose Tutorful?
We focus on finding the perfect match for your child. With over 4,100 reviews rating us 4.6 stars, we’re trusted by thousands of parents just like you. We combine expert, vetted tutors with the flexibility of online learning to create a supportive experience that helps your child achieve their goals.
