Alice A
English Tutor - Making learning memorable
* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

Carole G
Professional English tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school. I had some recent feedback from a parent, stating that their child had "gone from being scared of maths (and trying to hide it by saying maths is boring) to loving it!" Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

John H
Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child wants to study A-Levels at Coleg y Cymoedd. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grades they need?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are specialists in the WJEC curriculum. They can help your child master the specific requirements of the English Language and Literature exams, building their skills and confidence to help them secure their place on their chosen A-Level course.

We hope our child will go to university at Cardiff or Swansea. How can a tutor help with that long-term goal?

A strong GCSE in English is the first step. A tutor helps secure that foundation, which then builds confidence for A-Levels. The analytical and writing skills they develop are exactly what top universities look for, and can even help when it comes to writing their personal statement for their UCAS application.

How do I choose 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 needs before booking. It's about finding a personality and teaching style that your child will respond to.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We understand that finding the right fit is crucial. 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 you vet your tutors?

We take safety and quality very seriously. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID and qualifications verified. We interview every applicant and are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply to our platform.

My child's confidence in English is very low. How can a tutor help?

This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a private, supportive setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors are brilliant at breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, which can make a huge difference to your child's self-belief.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.

Are your tutors familiar with the WJEC exam board?

Yes, many of our tutors have extensive experience with the WJEC syllabus. You can check their individual profiles for details on their expertise with specific exam boards to find the perfect match for your child.

How do the online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's simple to use and means your child can learn from the comfort of home, with no travel needed.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most parents find that a one-hour lesson each week works best, especially when preparing for exams like GCSEs. However, it's completely flexible and you can arrange a schedule that works for your child and their tutor.

How quickly will my child's results improve?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed to get results. With focused, one-to-one support, many parents see a boost in their child's confidence quickly, and 90% of our students improve by at least one academic grade.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we offer expert support for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to mastering coding with Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
