Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.

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.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a grammar school in Chelmsford or Colchester. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ entrance exam preparation. They can help your child build confidence in key areas like creative writing, comprehension, and verbal reasoning, giving them the tools they need to perform at their best.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in Witham schools?
While our tutors are based across the UK, they are experts in the National Curriculum. They can tailor lessons to support what your child is learning in their Witham school, helping to reinforce classroom topics and fill in any gaps.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents like you, and watch their short introductory videos. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat, so you and your child can talk to them before booking to make sure it's a good match.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the right fit. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online English tutoring cost in Witham?
Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are displayed clearly on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and interviewed by our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted professional.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can do wonders for a child's confidence. In a safe space where it's okay to make mistakes, they can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class, helping them feel more capable and positive about their learning.
Can a tutor help with my child's GCSE English exams?
Yes, many of our tutors are GCSE specialists. They can help your child with everything from analysing texts like *An Inspector Calls* to improving their exam technique. Our support can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
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 directly through the platform. The one-to-one nature of the lessons means the tutor gets a clear understanding of your child's strengths and the areas they need to work on.
How long is a typical online lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time for focused learning. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects like English and Maths, you can also find tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to modern languages. It's all about helping your child pursue their interests.
