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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a top grade in GCSE English to get into a competitive York sixth form. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Strensall come to us. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can help your child target the specific skills needed to achieve those higher grades (7-9), from exam technique to a deeper analysis of set texts.
We're thinking ahead to university applications, like for the University of York. Can an English tutor help with that?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experienced in helping with university applications. They can provide invaluable guidance on structuring a compelling personal statement that showcases your child's strengths and passion for their chosen subject, which is a crucial part of the UCAS process.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific goals. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
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 space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your home, without any travel.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics, which helps build self-belief step by step.
Can tutoring help with specific texts, like Shakespeare?
Definitely. Whether it's 'Romeo and Juliet' or 'An Inspector Calls', our tutors can dedicate entire sessions to helping your child understand characters, themes, and key quotes, which is crucial for their exams.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths by discussing it with your chosen tutor.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can often find a tutor and book your first lesson within 24 hours. Many of our tutors have flexible schedules to fit around your family's commitments.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. Your child could learn to code, play the guitar, or even master a new language with one of our expert tutors.
