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.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form in Redbridge. Can a tutor help them get the top GCSE English grades needed?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in helping students aim for top grades (8 and 9). They have extensive experience with the GCSE curriculum and can provide the targeted support needed to help your child stand out on their application.
We live in Hainault and feel the pressure from local grammar schools. How can a tutor help my child keep up?
We understand the high standards in the area. A tutor provides a calm, supportive space away from classroom pressures. They can build your child's confidence, fill in any knowledge gaps, and give them the tools to tackle challenging topics, helping them feel prepared and less anxious.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introduction videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Look for someone whose experience matches your child's goals, whether that's exam technique for GCSEs or building foundational reading skills.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. If the first lesson isn't a good fit, just 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. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant, accepting only 1 in 8. This means you can be confident you're choosing from the best, most trusted tutors in the UK.
My child has lost confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor will celebrate small wins, explain things in a new way, and create a positive learning environment. Seeing their own progress week after week is a fantastic confidence booster.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, with rates typically starting from £15-£20 per hour. The price is based on their experience and qualifications. You can filter by price to find a great tutor who fits your budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Are the lessons focused on the GCSE curriculum?
Yes. Tutors will tailor lessons to the specific exam board your child's school is following (like AQA or Edexcel). They can focus on exam technique, revision strategies, and the key texts and topics your child needs to know.
How quickly will we see an improvement in our child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The personalised attention can make a difference surprisingly quickly, often starting with a boost in their confidence.
What happens in a typical one-to-one English lesson?
A tutor might start by reviewing homework, then introduce a new topic like analysing a poem or structuring an essay. They'll work through examples with your child, giving them instant feedback and a chance to ask questions they might not ask in class.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we have experts for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have talented tutors for a huge range of other skills. From learning Python or Spanish to mastering the piano or guitar, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
