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 wants to study A-levels at Northampton College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grade?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can help your child focus on the exact areas needed to secure a grade 5, 6, or higher. They can provide targeted support to meet the entry requirements for their chosen post-16 courses.
We're hoping for a top university like Warwick or Birmingham. How can an English tutor support this long-term goal?
A strong English GCSE is a crucial first step. A tutor can help your child master the analytical and communication skills that top universities value. By building a solid foundation now, they'll be much better prepared for the demands of A-levels and university applications later on.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find a great match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and personality for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is 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.
My child's confidence in English is low. How can a tutor help?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics, helping your child see that they are capable of succeeding.
How much does online English tuition cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15 an hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor that fits your budget.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply. All tutors must have a valid background check, and we verify their ID and qualifications to ensure you're choosing from trusted, high-quality professionals.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. A tutor might work through an exam paper with your child, help them plan an essay, or analyse a poem together, all tailored to their specific needs.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Yes, for many families it's even better! Our platform is designed specifically for online learning, and with no travel time, it's easier to fit regular lessons into a busy schedule. Our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews shows how much parents and students love learning with us online.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson a week, as this consistency helps build momentum and reinforce learning. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be easily arranged with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with skills like creative writing or public speaking?
While we cover all core academic subjects, we also have tutors who specialise in a huge range of other skills. You can find experts in everything from creative writing and public speaking to coding, music, and learning a new language.
How quickly can we get started with a tutor?
You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you can be learning in no time.
