Elandra G
Attentive and patient English Language tutor
Hi there! I’m Elandra, an undergraduate at University College London (UCL). I completed my IB Diploma in 2022. Having so recently completed my secondary school studies, I am able to relate to students on academic challenges they might encounter. I am able to work closely alongside them to develop their confidence and ability to tackle challenges. I achieve this through building a relationship with each of my students; each tutoring session is wholly cultivated to best suit their needs. I may also occasionally set small tasks outside of lesson time to encourage the development of independent learning i...

Leigh worked with our teenage son to prepare for his English Language iGCSE. With only a short time before the exam, they quickly developed a constructive rapport. Leigh was quickly able to assess where our son ‘was at’ in terms of his readiness for that exam. Over just a few sessions, analysis and writing skills were imparted and developed that meant our son felt prepared. Moreover, our son so enjoyed the way Leigh worked and his obvious passion for and skills in language analysis, that he chose to continue language analysis sessions just for the fun of it once the exam was over. A comment our son has made more than once after a session is, ‘I just love learning!’ The exam was passed really well – the outcome we hoped would be possible – but more significantly, we are grateful for Leigh’s ability to really draw out and develop our son’s enjoyment of the English language.

Ihsanur R
Last Year I did not do well in English Language in which I had a Grade 3. With my November resits fast approaching I felt very privileged to have Ihsanur as my tutor. He was able to present lessons in a concise way which helped me understand what went well and what I needed to improve on.
After the November resits I managed to obtain a Grade 4 in English Language AQA. I would really recommend him for those taking the GCSE 2026 because he is committed and dedicated in order to achieve academic potential with pupils. Thanks again Ihsanur for the hard work you do.

Smita Paneru S
I can’t recommend Smita enough! After struggling and retaking my English Language exam twice before she’s the only tutor who has truly managed to teach me in a way that makes everything click. She explains things clearly and in a way that actually makes sense. Smita never made me feel judged for needing extra help. She is an genuinly an incredible tutor who genuinely cares about her students’ progress. I honestly wish I’d found her sooner! I can’t thank her enough for helping me. :)

Flora I
Flora has been helping Isla prepare for her English Literature and English Language GCSE exams. From the first lesson, Flora “clicked” with Isla and quickly understood her needs. She made Isla feel comfortable and pinpointed areas for development and was so supportive. Isla felt at ease and could ask questions knowing that the necessary time would be taken to help her understand. Flora was incredibly accommodating, adjusting lesson times and dates as needed. She was also very responsive to messages and promptly returned marked work, going above and beyond to support us. Isla’s work was annotated and marked, providing valuable feedback and areas for future focus, which has been invaluable. Flora’s passion for the subject shone through, thank you so much Flora!

In just a few weeks, my daughter’s confidence in both English and maths has grown so much thanks to Ria.
She's feeling much more prepared for her upcoming GCSEs.
Ria is super easy to communicate with, really flexible, and her lessons are always well-organised and focused.
She’s been such a great support — we’d definitely recommend her!

Brilliant English Language tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form in Hackney. Can a tutor help them get a top grade (7-9) in GCSE English Language?
Absolutely. This is exactly where our tutors excel. They are experienced in helping students move from good to outstanding. A specialist tutor can focus on the specific exam techniques and analytical depth required to hit those top grades, giving your child the strongest possible application for demanding A-Level courses.
We're worried about the competition for universities like UCL or King's. How does tutoring help with this long-term goal?
Strong English Language skills are fundamental for applications to top universities. Our tutors help build the core abilities they look for: critical thinking, constructing a compelling argument, and writing with precision. This not only helps with A-Levels but also in crafting a standout personal statement and performing well in interviews.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a subject like English Language?
Yes, and in many ways, it's even better. Tutors use interactive whiteboards to deconstruct texts together, share resources instantly, and collaboratively edit essays in real-time. Crucially, it gives your child in Hackney access to a wider pool of specialist AQA and Edexcel tutors from across the UK, not just whoever is local.
How do you ensure your tutors are high quality?
We're very selective. In fact, we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join Tutorful. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and has proven subject expertise, so you can be sure your child is learning from a true professional.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English Language tutor?
Finding the right personality match is so important. We understand that. If the first session isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
My child finds analysing poetry really difficult. Can a tutor help with that specifically?
Definitely. Many students find poetry challenging. A one-to-one tutor can dedicate sessions to breaking down poetic devices, exploring themes, and building your child's confidence until they feel comfortable analysing any poem an examiner throws at them.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how frequent should they be?
Sessions are typically one hour long, and most students have one session per week. However, this is completely flexible. You and your tutor can agree on a schedule that works best for your child's needs and your family's routine, whether that's a temporary boost before exams or ongoing weekly support.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is built into our website, so there's no complex software to download.
Beyond English Language, can my child get help with creative writing?
Yes! We have many tutors who are passionate about creative writing, public speaking, and other communication skills. You can find tutors who can help your child develop their own stories, write compelling speeches, or simply find more joy in expressing their ideas.
How much does online English Language tutoring cost for a student in Hackney?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically start from around £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of expertise. You can browse profiles and filter by price to find the perfect tutor to fit your budget.
Are your tutors familiar with the specific exam boards, like AQA or Edexcel?
Yes, this is a key advantage of our platform. You can use the filters on our search page to find tutors with specific experience in your child's exam board. Many tutors mention their specialisms directly in their profiles, so you can be sure you're getting relevant support.
How will I know if my child is making real progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development. You'll be able to see their confidence grow as they tackle more complex texts and improve their writing. Tutors can also focus on past papers and exam-style questions to provide clear, measurable evidence of their progress.
