Hi there, my name is Krishni! I am a Law and Sociology graduate from the University of Warwick, and now I am doing my legal masters. From all the trial and errors I have undergone, my mission is to transform grades and confidence.I had struggled throughout school in terms of focus and struggling with the ‘one-size-fits all’ approach school teachers left me with. I would constantly get reprimanded and disheartened with my grades. After many MANY trial and errors, I finally figured out how to personalise and tailor the curriculum to ME and saw results almost straight away. This tailoring method is ...

My son had a few English GCSE lessons with Ian now and he’s been great. He explains things clearly, is very patient, and always gives helpful feedback. He even stays a bit longer sometimes to finish the lesson properly. Really appreciate his support!

Megan G
Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

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.

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.
