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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at a very competitive Richmond school. Can a tutor help them stand out for Russell Group university applications?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are experienced in helping students aim for top grades (8s and 9s). They can focus on developing the sophisticated analytical skills and essay techniques that impress university admissions teams, going beyond the standard curriculum to give your child a competitive edge.
We're aiming for top A-Level results. Can tutors help with the transition from GCSEs at schools like Waldegrave or Orleans Park?
Yes, they can. Our tutors can provide crucial support for the step-up to A-Level English. They can help your child bridge any knowledge gaps and build the independent study skills needed to excel in sixth form, ensuring a smooth and successful transition from their GCSE studies.
What if we don't click with the first English tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just 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?
It's simple to find a great match. You can browse tutor profiles, read verified reviews from other parents, and watch their short introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You'll see the hourly rate clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Can a tutor help if my child's confidence in English is low?
Definitely. One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic way to build confidence. In a safe, supportive environment, your child can ask questions they might be hesitant to ask in a busy classroom. Our tutors are brilliant at celebrating small wins and building self-belief.
How do online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection. It’s a simple and effective way for them to learn from the comfort of home.
How do you check your tutors?
We take your child's safety and the quality of their learning very seriously. All our tutors are background-checked via DBS, and we interview every single applicant. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson per week, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works best for your child and your family, whether that's weekly sessions, a fortnightly top-up, or a series of lessons before an important exam.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback, and you can message them at any time to discuss your child's progress. Because the lessons are one-to-one, the tutor gets a clear understanding of your child's improvement and can adjust their approach to keep them on track.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than English?
Yes, we do! While we have fantastic English tutors, we also offer support in over 300 subjects. From Maths and Science to learning an instrument like the guitar or a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help your child explore their interests.
