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.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to Pencoed Comprehensive. Can a tutor help them with the specific GCSE English curriculum they follow?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced with the main UK exam boards, like WJEC which is common in Wales. During your free chat, you can discuss the specific texts and topics your child is covering at Pencoed Comprehensive to ensure the tutor is a perfect match.
We're hoping for a place at Bridgend College. Can a tutor help with the English grades needed for their A-Level courses?
Yes, this is a very common goal for parents we support. A tutor can focus specifically on closing any knowledge gaps and improving exam technique to help your child secure the GCSE English grades required for their desired courses at Bridgend College and beyond.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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.
Can a tutor help with both GCSE English Language and English Literature?
Yes, definitely. Most of our English tutors are highly experienced in both and can create a learning plan that covers everything your child needs, from analysing unseen texts for Language to exploring the themes in their set Literature texts.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' intro videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter by experience and price. The best way is to use our free chat feature to message a few tutors to discuss your child's goals and see who feels like the best fit before booking.
How can online tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. This personal attention helps them grasp difficult topics, and as their understanding grows, so does their confidence.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single UK-based tutor is background-checked with an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How much does an online English tutor in Pencoed cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience. You can easily filter tutors on our site to find someone who fits your budget, with prices clearly displayed on their profiles.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom. A tutor might use the whiteboard to break down a poem, share resources to practise grammar, or work through past exam questions together. Every lesson is tailored to what your child needs to focus on that week.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback, and you can message them at any time. The real proof often comes from your child feeling more positive about the subject, contributing more in class, and, of course, seeing their results improve over time.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which most families find works perfectly. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with things like creative writing or public speaking skills?
While we're experts in academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, many of our tutors also offer sessions to build broader skills. You can find tutors who specialise in everything from creative writing and public speaking to coding and musical instruments.
