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
We're aiming for a grammar school in Redbridge. Can a tutor help with 11+ English preparation?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ entrance exams. They have experience with the specific comprehension and creative writing skills needed for competitive entrance tests for schools like Ilford County High, and can create a tailored plan to help your child feel prepared and confident.
My child wants to go to Leyton Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grades?
Yes, our tutors are brilliant at helping students aim for specific goals. They can focus on the GCSE English Language and Literature curriculum to help your child secure the grades they need for their chosen sixth form. We can even help boost your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right personal fit is crucial. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, 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 best English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals to ensure it's a good match.
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 contracts.
How are your tutors vetted?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a rigorous selection process, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted. Every tutor is interviewed by our team, has their ID verified, and undergoes a background check.
How does online tutoring work?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a microphone, camera, and a stable internet connection.
Can tutoring help my child if they lack confidence in English?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe and encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. This personalised attention often leads to a big boost in their confidence.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your chosen tutor.
How quickly can we start?
You can often start very quickly. Many tutors are available to book within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like and use their calendar to book a time that works for your family.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to discuss how things are going. The one-to-one format means the tutor is constantly assessing your child's understanding and adapting the lessons accordingly.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find tutors for modern languages, musical instruments like guitar, and even practical skills like coding.
