Creative English tutor
I have my (2.1) BA in English Literature from The University of Sheffield and have been an online tutor for two years. To date, I've taught over 3,000 lessons, from KS1 to A-Level which has enabled me to adapt my teaching style and content to different students.For example, when I tutored a student with ADHD I increased the number of activities while reducing the length to ensure they remained engaged with the lesson.Conversely, when tutoring one of my A-Level students with anxiety, I slowed the lesson pace and used fewer activities to reduce stress. In lessons, I predominately use visual learning...

Janan S
Janan is such a great tutor! She explains things really well and is able to fully break down areas I struggle with in English and make it easy to follow. She is also very personable and creates an easy atmosphere and is very understanding when I am behind in assignments for her, having a very dedicated work ethic, making up for what I lack. She creates a very welcoming environment and I genuinely do enjoy our lessons. Also she has helped direct me towards revision strategy’s as well so I do feel I have improved too in that areas and in English in general too. Would strongly recommend!

Frances H
Frances has been helping my daughter with English and SPaG in preparation for her SATs and after just a few sessions, I’ve seen a difference. She sets weekly homework, takes a genuine interest in my daughter’s week and makes learning fun by playing games like hangman to aid spelling. My daughter is engaged and is starting to really grasp the content. Frances is patient, encouraging and explains things clearly, which has already boosted my daughter’s confidence.

Alexander A
We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

My son has just started with Mamun, so far I am very happy. At first, my son was finding it a bit difficult to understand him, but when I expected it to Mamun he was very nice about it, and he did exactly what I wanted.

Stuart has been amazing helping my S4 with Nat 5 English coursework and exam revision. He is very knowledgeable, personable and reliable. He put my teen at ease straight away and has been helping keep study on track. We would certainly work with Stuart again for Higher. Highly recommended!

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at a very competitive Richmond school. Can a tutor help them stand out for Russell Group university applications?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are experienced in helping students aim for top grades (8s and 9s). They can focus on developing the sophisticated analytical skills and essay techniques that impress university admissions teams, going beyond the standard curriculum to give your child a competitive edge.
We're aiming for top A-Level results. Can tutors help with the transition from GCSEs at schools like Waldegrave or Orleans Park?
Yes, they can. Our tutors can provide crucial support for the step-up to A-Level English. They can help your child bridge any knowledge gaps and build the independent study skills needed to excel in sixth form, ensuring a smooth and successful transition from their GCSE studies.
What if we don't click with the first English tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple to find a great match. You can browse tutor profiles, read verified reviews from other parents, and watch their short introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You'll see the hourly rate clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Can a tutor help if my child's confidence in English is low?
Definitely. One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic way to build confidence. In a safe, supportive environment, your child can ask questions they might be hesitant to ask in a busy classroom. Our tutors are brilliant at celebrating small wins and building self-belief.
How do online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection. It’s a simple and effective way for them to learn from the comfort of home.
How do you check your tutors?
We take your child's safety and the quality of their learning very seriously. All our tutors are background-checked via DBS, and we interview every single applicant. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson per week, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works best for your child and your family, whether that's weekly sessions, a fortnightly top-up, or a series of lessons before an important exam.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback, and you can message them at any time to discuss your child's progress. Because the lessons are one-to-one, the tutor gets a clear understanding of your child's improvement and can adjust their approach to keep them on track.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than English?
Yes, we do! While we have fantastic English tutors, we also offer support in over 300 subjects. From Maths and Science to learning an instrument like the guitar or a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help your child explore their interests.
