David J
Experienced English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to apply to Cardinal Newman College. Can a tutor help them stand out?
Absolutely. Our tutors can help your child deepen their subject knowledge and refine their exam technique, which is crucial for competitive applications. By building their confidence and helping them achieve higher grades, a tutor can ensure their application truly reflects their ability.
We live near Garstang and are considering the Lancaster grammar schools. Can a tutor support this goal?
Yes. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students build the strong academic foundations needed for grammar school entrance. They can focus on developing the core English skills and confidence required to perform well in exams and assessments.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple to find the perfect match. You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter by experience. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential 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.
How can I be sure the tutors are qualified and safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process and accept only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed by our team and must pass a background check before they can teach on our platform.
My child has lost confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a patient and encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Rebuilding that confidence is often the first step to unlocking their potential.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically range from £15 to £40 per hour depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's just like being in the same room! Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is different because it's tailored to your child. A tutor might spend the session helping them plan an essay, analysing a tricky poem, practising exam-style questions, or simply working through homework they're stuck on.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The consistency of weekly one-to-one support often leads to noticeable gains in confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for hobbies and professional skills, from learning the guitar and coding to speaking Spanish.
How do I book and pay for lessons?
Everything is managed securely through your Tutorful account. Once you've chosen a tutor, you can schedule lessons and pay as you go using a debit or credit card. It's simple, safe, and there are no hidden fees.
