Experienced English Language Tutor
Hi! I’m Navina, a now 3rd year medical student at the Hull York Medical School. I have a real passion for tutoring (started off with my younger siblings at first so really, no question is silly!!) I’ve tutored students from younger years namely during A Levels where concepts tend to get tricky and I’ve been doing this for 4 years. I became even more involved in tutoring during my gap year before Medical School.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a competitive South London school like Wilson's or Wallington. Can a tutor help with the specific English demands of the 11+?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are highly experienced with 11+ preparation. They can provide focused support on the exact creative writing, comprehension, and verbal reasoning skills needed for these demanding entrance exams, helping your child feel prepared and confident.

We're worried about our child getting into a top set at their comprehensive. Can tutoring build that core English foundation?

Yes, this is one of the key areas where our tutors can make a huge difference. By working one-to-one, a tutor can identify and strengthen any gaps in your child's core understanding, building the solid foundation they need to excel in class and access higher-tier learning.

Is online tutoring as effective as meeting a tutor in person?

We believe it’s even better. Online tutoring gives your child in South London access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those who live nearby. With interactive whiteboards and resource sharing, lessons are just as engaging, plus you save time and stress with no travel involved.

What happens if we don't click with the first English Language tutor we try?

It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. We get 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.

How do you ensure the tutors are qualified and safe to work with my child?

Your child's safety and quality of education are our top priorities. We have a rigorous selection process, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor undergoes an identity and background check, and we interview them to ensure they have the right expertise and a passion for teaching.

How much does online English Language tutoring for a student in South London cost?

Prices are set by the individual tutors and vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

What technology do we need for an online tutoring session?

It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom runs directly in your web browser, so there's no complex software to install.

Do tutors follow the National Curriculum for English Language?

Yes, our tutors are well-versed in the National Curriculum and exam board specifications for GCSE and A-Level. They tailor sessions to complement what your child is learning at school, ensuring the tutoring directly supports their academic progress.

How quickly can we expect to see an improvement in my child's confidence?

Every child learns at their own pace, but many parents tell us they see a change in their child's attitude and confidence after just a few sessions. That feeling of being understood by a tutor who 'gets' them can make a world of difference.

My child has lots of after-school clubs. How flexible is scheduling?

Very flexible. That's a key benefit of online tutoring. You can view each tutor's availability on their profile and arrange sessions for evenings, weekends, or whenever suits your family's busy schedule. It's designed to fit around your life.

Are the tutors familiar with the London school system, even if they aren't based here?

Many of our tutors have extensive experience supporting students from across London and are familiar with the competitive nature of its school system, including grammar and independent school entries. You can discuss any specific requirements with a tutor before you book.

Beyond English, can my child learn other skills like coding or a musical instrument?

Yes! We have expert tutors across hundreds of subjects. From maths and science to coding, music, art, and languages, we're here to support all of your child's learning interests and help them explore new passions.
