Carole G
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!"

Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic English Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Gearoid C
Gearoid supported my son with GCSE English during a key transition period in Year 11. My son had moved schools and was adjusting to a different GCSE specification, which had left noticeable gaps in his knowledge. Gearoid helped him bridge those gaps methodically and clarified the expectations of the exam board.
From the very first session, there was a shift in confidence. My son came out saying, “So I’m not stupid.” Over time, that developed into him saying he “felt clever.” For a student who can struggle with processing speed and exam anxiety, this was a significant and meaningful change.
Gearoid is calm, professional and thoughtful in his approach. He communicates clearly, is reliable, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. I am grateful for the role he played in rebuilding both understanding and belief.

Flora is the best teacher that has ever taught my daughters. They even said they wish their English teacher at school were like Flora — which I think says everything. 😊 She is so patient, encouraging, and creates a positive atmosphere. It makes a real difference, and we truly appreciate her work.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to apply to Cardinal Newman College. Can a tutor help them stand out?
Absolutely. Our tutors can help your child deepen their subject knowledge and refine their exam technique, which is crucial for competitive applications. By building their confidence and helping them achieve higher grades, a tutor can ensure their application truly reflects their ability.
We live near Garstang and are considering the Lancaster grammar schools. Can a tutor support this goal?
Yes. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students build the strong academic foundations needed for grammar school entrance. They can focus on developing the core English skills and confidence required to perform well in exams and assessments.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple to find the perfect match. You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter by experience. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for learning. 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 can I be sure the tutors are qualified and safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process and accept only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed by our team and must pass a background check before they can teach on our platform.
My child has lost confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a patient and encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Rebuilding that confidence is often the first step to unlocking their potential.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically range from £15 to £40 per hour depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's just like being in the same room! Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is different because it's tailored to your child. A tutor might spend the session helping them plan an essay, analysing a tricky poem, practising exam-style questions, or simply working through homework they're stuck on.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The consistency of weekly one-to-one support often leads to noticeable gains in confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for hobbies and professional skills, from learning the guitar and coding to speaking Spanish.
How do I book and pay for lessons?
Everything is managed securely through your Tutorful account. Once you've chosen a tutor, you can schedule lessons and pay as you go using a debit or credit card. It's simple, safe, and there are no hidden fees.
