Professional English tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school. I had some recent feedback from a parent, stating that their child had "gone from being scared of maths (and trying to hide it by saying maths is boring) to loving it!" Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for UVHS Sixth Form or Barrow Sixth Form College?
Absolutely. Many parents in Ulverston use Tutorful for this exact reason. Our tutors can help your child target the specific grade 7-9s needed for competitive A-Level courses by focusing on exam technique, essay writing, and strengthening any areas where they feel less confident.
My child is aiming for a place at Lancaster University. Can a tutor help with their UCAS application?
Yes, many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students with their UCAS personal statements. They can guide your child on how to structure their application, articulate their passion for their chosen subject, and present themselves in the best possible light for top universities like Lancaster.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Every tutor has a detailed profile where you can see their experience, qualifications, and teaching style. You can also read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to find the perfect match.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important, which is 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 English tutor in Ulverston cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This allows you to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget, with no hidden fees.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and an enhanced DBS background check, before they can teach on our platform.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, so your child and their tutor can work together just as they would in person. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor 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. A tutor can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and tailor their teaching style, which helps your child feel capable and much more confident in their own abilities.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, you can find experienced tutors on our platform to help them explore their interests.
How many lessons will my child need to see an improvement?
This varies for every child. Some students just need a few sessions to boost their confidence before an exam, while others benefit from regular weekly lessons. The great thing is that it's completely flexible – you can book as many or as few lessons as your child needs.
How long should a tutoring session be?
Most sessions are an hour long, which is usually enough time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss this with your tutor, as they can be flexible to suit your child's concentration span and learning needs.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. We encourage our tutors to provide regular feedback after each session so you can see what they've covered and how your child is getting on. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress and goals.
