Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at Coleg y Cymoedd. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very familiar with the entry requirements for local colleges like Coleg y Cymoedd. They can focus specifically on the areas of the WJEC GCSE English curriculum your child needs to master to secure their place.
We're aiming for a competitive course at Cardiff University. Can a tutor provide the right level of support?
Yes. We have many tutors with experience helping students prepare for A-Levels and university applications. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed to stand out and feel confident when applying to competitive universities like Cardiff or the University of South Wales.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
What experience do your tutors have with the WJEC curriculum?
Many of our English tutors have specific experience teaching the Welsh curriculum, including WJEC. You can check their profile bios for this information or use our filters to find tutors who specialise in the WJEC exam board. You can also message them directly to ask about their experience.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
Every tutor has a detailed profile where you can see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many also have an introductory video to give you a feel for their personality. You can message them before booking to discuss your child's needs and make sure it's a good fit.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Tutor prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. Prices are displayed clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts – you simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.
My child has lost all their confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild that self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their schoolwork too.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS background check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
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 space to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Consistent weekly lessons often lead to noticeable boosts in confidence and understanding within just a few weeks.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Some parents book a few lessons to prepare for a specific exam, while others prefer regular weekly sessions to provide ongoing support throughout the school year. You can discuss this with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! You can find expert tutors for everything from coding and learning a musical instrument like the guitar, to foreign languages and even public speaking. It's a great way to support your child's hobbies and passions.
