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

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child wants to apply for a course at Coleg y Cymoedd. Can a tutor help with their application?
Absolutely. A strong personal statement is crucial for college applications. Our English tutors can help your child structure their thoughts, write persuasively, and check their grammar and spelling to make sure their application stands out for all the right reasons.
We live in Abertidwr. How does online tutoring work if the tutor isn't local?
The great thing about online tutoring is that geography isn't a barrier. Your child can connect with the best English tutors from across the UK, not just those nearby. All lessons take place in our interactive online classroom with video chat and a shared whiteboard, so it feels just like they're in the same room.
How do I find the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English 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, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an identity check and holds an enhanced DBS certificate. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
How can a tutor specifically help my child pass their GCSE English Language exam?
Our tutors are very experienced with the GCSE curriculum. They can help your child understand the mark scheme, improve their exam technique, practise analysing unseen texts, and master different writing styles. They'll focus on the specific skills needed to turn a potential fail into a strong pass.
My child really lacks confidence in English. How can tutoring help?
Confidence is often the biggest hurdle. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors provide constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which gradually builds your child's self-belief and helps them see that they *can* do it.
How do the online lessons work? Do I need special equipment?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons happen in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration span.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we're proud of our academic support, we offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So, if your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, we have expert tutors who can help with that too.
How do I pay for lessons?
Paying for lessons is simple and secure. Your payment details are stored safely in your account. After each lesson is completed, your card is automatically charged, and we send you a receipt. You never have to deal with cash or awkward payment conversations.
