Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Holly E
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.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

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.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Consett Academy and worried about their GCSEs. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students with the specific demands of the GCSE English curriculum. They can provide targeted support on the set texts, exam board requirements, and techniques needed to help your child feel prepared and confident for their exams.
Can a tutor help my child with applications for New College Durham or universities like Newcastle?
Yes, many of our English tutors can provide excellent support for personal statements and application essays. They can help your child structure their thoughts, articulate their ambitions clearly, and polish their writing to make the best possible impression on admissions teams.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, 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 right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles, watch introduction videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to find the perfect match for your family.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and must provide a valid DBS background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted expert.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, with no hidden costs or subscriptions. You have complete control over what you spend.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the most important things a tutor can do. A great tutor provides a patient and encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Rebuilding that self-belief is often the first step to seeing their grades improve.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child's needs. A session might focus on planning a 'Jekyll and Hyde' essay, practising exam timings for a language paper, or breaking down a difficult poem. The tutor will work at your child's pace, ensuring they understand each topic before moving on.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns differently, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions, which is the foundation for better grades. Our data shows 90% of students improve by at least one grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also offer support in a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to mastering coding with Python, there's a tutor for almost any goal.
How do I book a lesson?
Once you've found a tutor you like, you can send them a message to discuss your child's needs. When you're ready, you can book and pay for your first session securely through their profile. It's that easy to get started.
