Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Colchester Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students strengthen their GCSE performance to meet the entry requirements for popular sixth forms and colleges. They can focus on the specific skills and grades your child needs to put forward a strong application.
We're aiming for a top grade in GCSE English for university applications. Can a tutor focus on this?
Yes, that's a perfect goal for tutoring. Our English tutors can help your child move from a good grade to a great one. They can work on advanced essay techniques and deeper analysis to help their application stand out for competitive courses at universities like the University of Essex.
What if my child doesn't click with their 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 pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introduction videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. This helps you find the perfect match for their personality and learning style.
How much does an online English tutor in Harwich cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which are displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and level of study. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete flexibility.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are from the UK and have passed a background check before they can teach on our platform. We also interview every tutor to ensure they are the best of the best.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a safe, supportive space makes a huge difference. When a child realises they *can* understand a topic they found difficult, their confidence soars. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down big challenges, which helps your child feel much more positive about their learning.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection. It’s simple, secure, and effective.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is ideal for steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent sessions during exam periods or less frequent ones during holidays, whatever works best for your family.
Can tutoring help if my child is already doing well but wants to aim higher?
Definitely. Tutoring isn't just for students who are struggling. Many parents use Tutorful to help their child push for the highest grades, explore topics in more depth, and gain a competitive edge in their studies.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
A session is tailored to your child. It might start with a quick chat about a recent school test, then move on to working through a specific challenge, like planning an essay on 'An Inspector Calls' or practising persuasive writing techniques. It's focused, interactive, and always paced for your child.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than core academic ones?
Yes, we do! While we have experts in core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have talented tutors who teach music, languages, coding, and more. It’s a great way for your child to explore a new hobby or develop a new skill.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
