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!

Jessica C
Our son has had four lessons in English Language and English Literature with Jessica so far, as he’s sitting his GCSEs this year. It’s clear Jessica has a strong background and is truly in the right profession—she knows exactly what’s needed and structures each lesson to cover any gaps. She explains everything clearly, focuses on exam technique, and is patient and supportive. Our son enjoys the lessons and already feels more confident. We’re planning to continue and are very glad to have Jessica as his tutor. We highly recommend her!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Are your English Language tutors actually based in Reading?
Our tutors are based across the UK, not physically in Reading. This is a huge advantage, as it means your child can connect online with the best subject specialists from anywhere in the country, all from the comfort of your home. You get a much wider choice of experts than if you were limited to tutors in the local area.
Can a tutor help my child with the English component of the 11+ for Reading's grammar schools?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are highly experienced in preparing students for the 11+ exams, including the verbal reasoning and English sections specific to the entrance requirements for schools in the Reading area. They can build a focused plan to develop your child's comprehension, vocabulary, and writing skills.
Is online tutoring as engaging as meeting a tutor in person?
It really is. Our online classroom has interactive tools like a shared whiteboard which make lessons dynamic and collaborative. Tutors are skilled at keeping students engaged, and many parents tell us their children feel more focused and less self-conscious learning from the comfort of their own space.
What happens if my child doesn't click with the first tutor we try?
Finding the right personality match is crucial, and we want you to be completely happy. If the first session with a tutor isn't the perfect fit, please 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's confidence in English is very low. Can a tutor help with that, not just grades?
This is at the heart of what we do. Our tutors focus on building confidence just as much as academic skills. By creating a supportive, encouraging environment and celebrating small wins, they help your child rebuild their self-belief, which is often the key to unlocking better grades and a love for the subject.
How much do online English Language tutors cost for students in Reading?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from £15. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of study (e.g., GCSE, A-Level). You can easily filter by price on our site to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
How do you vet your English Language tutors?
We're very selective because your child deserves the best. We interview every applicant and verify their ID and qualifications. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply make it onto our platform, so you can be sure you’re connecting with a high-quality, background-checked professional.
My child is more interested in creative writing than academic essays. Can you help?
Of course! We have many tutors who are passionate about creative writing. They can help your child explore storytelling, poetry, character development, and more. Tutoring isn't just for school subjects; it's a fantastic way to nurture a creative spark.
What technology do we need for an online session?
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 runs directly in your web browser, so there's no complicated software to download.
How will I know if my child is making real progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development, highlighting areas of improvement and next steps. You'll also see it for yourself – in their growing confidence, their willingness to tackle homework, and ultimately, in their school results.
Can a tutor connect my child's studies to Reading's literary history?
Yes, this is a great way to bring learning to life! Many tutors would be delighted to incorporate local connections, such as the works of Oscar Wilde or Jane Austen's time in Reading, into their lessons. You can discuss this with potential tutors to find someone who shares that interest.
Do you offer tutoring in other subjects besides English Language?
We do! We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects, from core academics like maths and science to languages, music, coding, and professional skills. Whatever your child wants to learn, we can help you find an expert online tutor.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
