I work toward this goal with patience, teaching in a relaxed way and challenging students as their confidence in a topic grows. Approach to lessonsDuring the first lesson, I often ask pupils to attempt some questions independently to gauge their ability.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Consett Academy and worried about their GCSEs. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students with the specific demands of the GCSE English curriculum. They can provide targeted support on the set texts, exam board requirements, and techniques needed to help your child feel prepared and confident for their exams.
Can a tutor help my child with applications for New College Durham or universities like Newcastle?
Yes, many of our English tutors can provide excellent support for personal statements and application essays. They can help your child structure their thoughts, articulate their ambitions clearly, and polish their writing to make the best possible impression on admissions teams.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles, watch introduction videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to find the perfect match for your family.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and must provide a valid DBS background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted expert.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, with no hidden costs or subscriptions. You have complete control over what you spend.
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 a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the most important things a tutor can do. A great tutor provides a patient and encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Rebuilding that self-belief is often the first step to seeing their grades improve.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child's needs. A session might focus on planning a 'Jekyll and Hyde' essay, practising exam timings for a language paper, or breaking down a difficult poem. The tutor will work at your child's pace, ensuring they understand each topic before moving on.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns differently, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions, which is the foundation for better grades. Our data shows 90% of students improve by at least one grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also offer support in a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to mastering coding with Python, there's a tutor for almost any goal.
How do I book a lesson?
Once you've found a tutor you like, you can send them a message to discuss your child's needs. When you're ready, you can book and pay for your first session securely through their profile. It's that easy to get started.
