Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Brockley and are aiming for a grammar school in a neighbouring borough. Can a tutor help with the 11+?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They have extensive experience with the verbal reasoning and comprehension skills your child will need to feel confident and prepared for the exam.
My child needs top GCSE English grades for a competitive sixth form. Can a tutor focus specifically on this?
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. Our GCSE English tutors can create a tailored plan to help your child master key texts, improve their essay writing, and sharpen their analytical skills to aim for those higher grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed, reference-checked, and must have an up-to-date DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space works wonders for confidence. A tutor can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and help your child see their own progress, which is incredibly empowering.
Can a tutor help with specific texts, like Shakespeare or poetry?
Definitely. Whether it's getting to grips with 'Macbeth' or understanding the themes in a poetry anthology, our tutors can provide expert, focused support to help your child analyse texts effectively.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistent, tailored support makes a real difference. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects?
Not at all. While we have experts for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors who can teach your child a new skill or hobby, from learning to play the guitar to coding in Python.
What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring companies?
We focus on finding the perfect match for your child. With thousands of vetted tutors, honest reviews from over 4,100 parents, and a commitment to personalised learning, we've helped over 200,000 students build confidence and achieve their goals.
