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.

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends school near Abercynon. Can we find a tutor familiar with the Welsh (WJEC) curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in teaching the WJEC curriculum for English Language and Literature. You can check each tutor's profile for their specific experience or use our search filters to find the right specialist for your child.
We're in Abercynon. Can a tutor help my child with their personal statement for university applications?
Yes, definitely. Many of our English tutors are brilliant at helping students structure their thoughts and refine their personal statements for applications to universities like Cardiff, Swansea, and others across the UK.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. 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.
Beyond English, what other subjects do you offer? Can my child learn something like coding or music?
Yes! While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for everything from coding and learning the guitar to modern languages and music theory.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. You can also send a message to a tutor before booking to discuss your child's needs and make sure it's a good match.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency helps you find an excellent tutor who fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor celebrates small wins, breaks down difficult topics into manageable steps, and adapts their teaching style to suit your child, which helps them feel capable and confident.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for an engaging lesson, including a shared whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. It's designed to be simple and intuitive to use. All you need is a computer or tablet with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss lesson length with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson per week, as this consistency helps build momentum and reinforce learning. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payment is simple and secure. You add your card details to your account, and we process the payment automatically 24 hours after each lesson is completed. You'll never need to handle cash or worry about remembering to pay.
