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.

Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple to find a great match. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking a session to make sure you've found the perfect fit.
My child is preparing for entrance exams for Ripon Grammar School. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience with 11+ and grammar school entrance exams. They can help your child build the core comprehension, writing, and verbal reasoning skills needed, as well as work on exam technique and confidence.
We live near Ripon. Can a tutor help my teenager with A-Level English for a university application?
Definitely. Our A-Level English tutors are experts in the curriculum and can provide targeted support to help your child analyse complex texts, refine their essay writing, and aim for the top grades needed for their university choices.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study, but you can easily see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn one-to-one with their tutor.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the right person for your child. 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 a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Confidence is key to learning. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them rebuild their self-belief.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects, we also offer lessons in a wide range of other skills! You can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding in Python to new languages and music theory.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which we find works perfectly for keeping students engaged. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. You can easily manage your child's schedule through our platform. Just be sure to give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or rearrange a session.
How quickly can my child start learning?
Very quickly! Many of our tutors can be booked for a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to introduce yourselves, and you can arrange your first session directly with them.
