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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Newcastle or Durham University. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are experienced in helping students develop the advanced analytical and writing skills needed for top university applications. They can focus on building the strong foundation at GCSE and A-Level that admissions tutors look for.
We're focused on getting the grades for A-Levels at The Duchess's Community High School. Can tutors help with that?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors are very familiar with the GCSE curriculum and what's required for A-Level entry. They can create a personalised plan to target specific areas your child finds tricky, helping them build the confidence and knowledge needed to secure their place.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introduction videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message before you book. It's a good idea to look for someone your child will connect with, who has experience in the specific area you need help with, like GCSE exam technique.
How do online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your own home.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one tuition creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor will celebrate small wins, break down difficult topics, and show your child what they're capable of, which can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
How much does online English tuition cost in Alnwick?
The cost varies as our tutors set their own prices based on their experience. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can easily find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is identity and background checked before they can teach on our platform. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How long is a typical lesson?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which gives enough time to cover a topic properly without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor if needed.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great way to build momentum and see steady progress. You can discuss what's best for your child and your schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know your child, understanding their strengths and weaknesses, and discussing their goals. The tutor will use this time to build a rapport and create a plan for future lessons.
Do you only offer help for school subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor on Tutorful.
