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 study at Petroc College. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for specific colleges. They can focus on the exact topics and exam techniques your child needs to master to achieve the GCSE English grade required for their chosen A-Level courses at Petroc College.
We're aiming for a place at the University of Exeter. Can an A-Level English tutor help with their application?
Yes, definitely. We have many specialist A-Level English tutors who are brilliant at supporting students with university applications. They can provide expert guidance on personal statements, help with wider reading, and build the analytical skills needed to excel at A-Level and impress competitive universities like Exeter.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend looking for a tutor whose experience matches your child's specific goals – whether that's help with GCSE exam technique or building foundational reading skills. You can also send messages to tutors before booking to make sure they're a good fit.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is identity and background checked with an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit for your child, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a supportive, patient environment, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor will celebrate small wins, break down tricky topics like analysing poetry, and help your child see that they are capable of succeeding.
How much does an online English tutor in Tiverton cost?
The cost of an English tutor varies depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, with prices starting from £15 per hour. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It’s designed to be engaging and easy to use. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a microphone, camera, and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This really depends on your child's goals. Most families find that a regular weekly session works best for consistent progress and building momentum. However, you might want more frequent lessons in the run-up to an exam. It’s completely flexible and you can discuss the best approach with your tutor.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can message your tutor at any time to ask for updates. Many tutors provide regular feedback after each session, outlining what was covered and how your child is progressing. This partnership helps you stay informed and involved in your child's learning journey.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
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 directly with your tutor to fit your child's needs and schedule.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills like creative writing?
While we have experts in over 300 academic subjects, we also have tutors who can help your child develop other valuable skills. This includes everything from learning a musical instrument or a new language, to practical skills like coding, or even creative pursuits like creative writing and public speaking.
