Caitlin M
Where learning English is FUN-damental!
Hello!My name is Caitlin and I am thrilled to meet you all. Maths and English are my passion. Also, I tutor British Sign language (BSL), in which I have over 10+ years experience.Additionally, I have been tutoring for 6 years now. I am familiar with the OCR, Edexcel and AQA boards. I use a variety of teaching resources and materials. I cover from 11+ to Functional skills to Foundation and even to Higher. I believe as a teacher you are a guide to your student, but before that you need to build trust with your student, to really get to know them as an individual. Each lesson is a vital learning point...
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!

Matthew has been teaching my son since September and he absolutely enjoys the lessons. He explains writing in a way my son can understand, and we’ve already seen a boost in his confidence.
Really friendly, patient, and supportive — we’re very happy with the progress so far. Highly recommend!

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.

Myles was a great tutor for my daughter, who was struggling with school. Homeschooling, alongside lessons with Myles, gave her the confidence she needed to pass Maths GCSE and get into her chosen college and course :)

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.
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grades needed for Scarborough Sixth Form College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the grades needed for specific college entry requirements. They can focus on the exact skills your child needs to strengthen, whether it's essay writing for Literature or persuasive techniques for Language, to help them feel confident on exam day.
My child hopes to go to a university like York or Hull. Can tutoring help with that?
Yes. A strong GCSE and A-Level foundation is crucial for applications to competitive universities. Our English tutors can help your child develop the deep subject knowledge and analytical skills that will not only help them achieve the right grades but also make them a stronger candidate for their future studies.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can filter tutors by subject level and price, read their detailed bios, and check reviews from other parents just like you. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat to make sure they're the right fit for your child's personality and learning style.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to success. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £20 to £40 per hour, depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can easily see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and resources. It's a secure and engaging way for your child to learn one-to-one with their tutor from the comfort of home.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can feel completely confident in your choice.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down tricky topics, like analysing poetry, into manageable steps, which builds self-belief over time.
Will a tutor help with a specific exam board, like AQA or Edexcel?
Yes. Most of our tutors have experience with all the major UK exam boards and will state their specialisms on their profile. They can tailor lessons to the specific requirements of your child's syllabus, focusing on the question styles and assessment objectives they'll face in the exam.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which most parents and students find works perfectly. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor if your child would benefit from shorter, more frequent lessons or longer, more intensive ones.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with academic subjects from Maths to French, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, we can help.
How quickly can my child start their lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Once you've sent a message to a tutor you like, they will usually reply within 24 hours. Many parents find the perfect tutor and have their first lesson booked within just a few days.
