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
My child is aiming for a competitive university like York or Leeds. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students build the strong analytical and essay-writing skills needed for successful UCAS applications. They can help your child articulate their ideas with confidence, which is a huge advantage when aiming for top universities.
The academic standard at Tadcaster Grammar is high. Can I find a tutor experienced with helping students aim for top GCSE grades (7-9)?
Yes, definitely. You can use our filters to find tutors who specialise in GCSE English and have a proven track record of helping students achieve high grades. Many tutors mention their experience with specific exam boards and helping students aiming for grades 7, 8, and 9 in their profiles.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial for building confidence. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read their bios, and check reviews from other parents. Many parents message a few tutors first to discuss their child's specific needs before booking. It’s all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable learning with.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every one. We're very selective – only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform.
How can an online tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps them see that they *can* do it, which makes a huge difference.
How much does an online English tutor in Tadcaster cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. This transparency allows you to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
How do online lessons work? What technology do we need?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. It's simple and easy to use.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experts in both. They can help your child switch seamlessly between analysing poetry for Literature and honing their persuasive writing for Language, ensuring they feel prepared for all aspects of their exams.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and learning style.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress. Many parents say they see a change not just in their child's grades, but in their enthusiasm for the subject too.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find a brilliant tutor for them on Tutorful.
