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 is aiming for top grades to get into a competitive A-Level course. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for many parents we support, especially in areas with high-performing schools like Hethersett. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for those top 7-9 grades in GCSE English. They can focus on exam technique, essay structure, and in-depth text analysis to give your child the best possible chance of securing their place.
We're thinking about university options like UEA. Can a tutor help with skills for a humanities degree?
Yes, definitely. A strong English tutor does more than just prepare for exams. They help your child develop the critical thinking, analytical, and essay-writing skills that are essential for university-level study in humanities. This early preparation can be a huge advantage when they start applying to competitive courses at universities like the University of East Anglia.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just 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 watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications and experience. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals to ensure they're a great match.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics into manageable steps, which builds self-belief and shows them they are capable of succeeding.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, which includes identity and background checks. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a wide range of other skills. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and Python.
How often should my child have a lesson?
We find that a regular weekly session works best for most students as it builds momentum and reinforces learning. However, the schedule is completely flexible and up to you and your tutor. You can book lessons as and when your child needs them.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
It's easy. We have a flexible cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can reschedule your lesson for a more convenient time without any charge.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best.
