Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for a Salisbury grammar school. Can I find a tutor with experience in this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are familiar with the requirements for schools like Bishop Wordsworth's and South Wiltshire Grammar School. You can check their profiles for this specific experience or message them directly to ask about their approach to verbal reasoning and comprehension skills.
Are the tutors actually based in Amesbury?
Our tutors are based all across the UK, and because all lessons are online, your child can connect with the very best specialist for their needs, no matter where they live. This gives you a much wider choice than you'd find locally, ensuring you can find the perfect match for your child's personality and learning goals.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
Start by reading tutor profiles to see their experience and teaching style. You can also watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a session. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first 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 prices based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone to suit your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. This personalised attention helps them understand tricky topics, and as their understanding grows, so does their confidence in their own abilities.
Are all tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and has been personally interviewed by our team. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are an hour long, which gives enough time to cover a topic properly without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor to suit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and Python.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You'll also likely see it for yourself in their schoolwork, their growing confidence, and their attitude towards learning English. Join over 200,000 happy students who have seen real results with Tutorful.
Can I message a tutor before booking a lesson?
Of course. We encourage you to send a message to potential tutors to discuss your child's specific goals and ask any questions you might have. This helps ensure you find the perfect match before committing to a lesson.
