Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Redborne Upper School. Can a tutor help them aim for top GCSE English grades?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target specific grades for their GCSEs. They can focus on strengthening your child's essay writing and textual analysis skills to help them feel prepared and confident for their exams.
We're aware of the high standards of the Harpur Trust schools. Can a tutor help my child compete confidently?
Yes. A private tutor provides a fantastic environment to build the deep analytical and writing skills needed to stand out. By working one-to-one, your child can address specific weaknesses and build the academic confidence to perform at their best.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple. You can use our search filters to find tutors with experience in a specific area, like GCSE AQA English Literature. You can also read reviews from other parents and watch short video introductions to get a feel for their teaching style before booking.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we offer a 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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity checks and DBS background checks, before they can teach on our platform.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child can work through exam papers, analyse texts, and practice writing skills with their tutor in real-time.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to help you see the progress your child is making. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their development and focus areas for upcoming lessons.
Can a tutor help my child with confidence, not just grades?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. Having a supportive expert dedicated to their success helps your child feel more positive and capable in their own abilities.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without being overwhelming. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have experts for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking Spanish.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set number. Some parents book a few lessons to prepare for a specific exam, while others arrange regular weekly sessions to provide consistent support throughout the school year. You can discuss your child's goals with the tutor to decide what's best.
