Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at Ermysted's or Skipton Girls' High. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ exam. They can focus on key areas like verbal reasoning, reading comprehension, and building a strong vocabulary to help your child feel confident and prepared for the test.
My child is thinking about university in the North, like York or Lancaster. How can English tutoring help now?
Building strong English skills early on is fantastic preparation for university. A tutor can help your child develop the critical thinking and essay writing abilities that are essential for A-Levels and higher education. This foundational support can make a big difference when they come to apply for competitive courses.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is key to their success.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right student-tutor relationship is vital. 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 can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked with an enhanced DBS check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the UK's best.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. A tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement, helping them to rebuild their self-belief at their own pace.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find someone who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child's individual needs. It could involve working through tricky homework, practising exam questions for the 11+ or GCSEs, analysing a poem, or planning an essay. The tutor will focus on the areas where your child needs the most support.
How do I track my child's progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message them at any time to ask questions or discuss their progress. Open communication is a key part of the partnership between you, your child, and their tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish to getting to grips with coding, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
Is Tutorful a trusted platform?
Yes, we are proud to have helped over 200,000 students achieve their goals. We have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews from parents just like you, so you can feel confident that you're in safe hands.
