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

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple to find the perfect match. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check qualifications, and see reviews from other parents just like you. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat to help you decide if they're the right fit for your child before you book a lesson.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile with no hidden costs or contracts. You simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.
My child attends The St Leonards Academy. Can we find a tutor familiar with their curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have extensive experience with the national curriculum and specific exam boards like AQA and Edexcel. You can check their profiles for this information or send them a message to ask about their experience with your child's school work.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, a shared whiteboard for working through problems together, and a way to share documents. It’s designed to be simple, interactive, and effective.
My child is thinking about A-Levels at East Sussex College. Can a tutor help them prepare?
Yes, we have many specialist A-Level tutors who can help your child make the leap from GCSE. They can help build the analytical and essay-writing skills needed for success at college, giving your child a confident start to their new courses.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are ID and background-checked. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost their confidence?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, patient space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild your child's self-belief step by step.
How often should my child have a lesson?
It's completely up to you and what works for your child. Most families find a one-hour lesson each week is a great way to build momentum, but you can schedule lessons as often or as little as you need.
Is tutoring just for core school subjects like English and Maths?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Your child could learn a musical instrument like the guitar, pick up a new language, or even learn practical skills like coding.
What equipment do we need for online tutoring?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. There's no special software to download as everything runs in your web browser.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply browse our tutors, send a message to the ones you like, and you can often have your first lesson booked and ready to go within 24 hours.
