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

We're hoping for a place at a sixth form in Framlingham or Woodbridge. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students secure the strong GCSE grades needed for entry into competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific skills and exam techniques required to help your child feel prepared and confident.

Yes. We have tutors who are experienced in helping students with their A-Level studies and university applications, including for competitive courses at universities like UEA. They can help with everything from mastering A-Level content to providing feedback on personal statements.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their introduction videos and messaging a few to find someone your child will get on with. It's all about finding the right personality fit for your child.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process: every tutor has been interviewed, had their ID checked, and undergone a background check. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us, and it's where one-to-one tutoring can make the biggest difference. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement, helping them rebuild their self-belief one step at a time.
How much does an online English tutor in Leiston cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work through problems together, just as they would in person.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with our tutors. The real magic is often seeing their confidence grow, which can happen after just a few sessions.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
The tutor will tailor the session to your child's specific needs. It might involve going over a tricky piece of homework, practising exam questions, analysing a poem together, or planning an essay. The focus is always on what will help your child make the most progress.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like coding or music theory?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get ahead in coding, or learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
Do we have to commit to a certain number of lessons?
Not at all. We offer a flexible, pay-as-you-go system. You can book as many or as few lessons as you need, whenever you need them. There are no contracts or long-term commitments.
