George B
Creative English tutor
IntroductionHello. I’m George, and my aim as a tutor is to help students develop an understanding that lasts through their schoolwork, homework, and exams. I work toward this goal with patience, teaching in a relaxed way and challenging students as their confidence in a topic grows. Approach to lessonsDuring the first lesson, I often ask pupils to attempt some questions independently to gauge their ability. After this, we will work together on the difficult portions of the work, and I may use drawings, real-life situations and metaphors to explain specific rules or principles. My goal is to guide s...

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
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 reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking a session to make sure you've found the perfect fit.
My child is preparing for entrance exams for Ripon Grammar School. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience with 11+ and grammar school entrance exams. They can help your child build the core comprehension, writing, and verbal reasoning skills needed, as well as work on exam technique and confidence.
We live near Ripon. Can a tutor help my teenager with A-Level English for a university application?
Definitely. Our A-Level English tutors are experts in the curriculum and can provide targeted support to help your child analyse complex texts, refine their essay writing, and aim for the top grades needed for their university choices.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study, but you can easily see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn one-to-one with their tutor.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the right person for your child. 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 if my child has lost confidence in English?
Confidence is key to learning. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them rebuild their self-belief.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects, we also offer lessons in a wide range of other skills! You can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding in Python to new languages and music theory.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which we find works perfectly for keeping students engaged. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. You can easily manage your child's schedule through our platform. Just be sure to give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or rearrange a session.
How quickly can my child start learning?
Very quickly! Many of our tutors can be booked for a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to introduce yourselves, and you can arrange your first session directly with them.
