Flora I
Flora is a very patient, professional and well-prepared tutor. She always explains things clearly and teaches my son how to answer GCSE questions in a structured way. She provides homework, goes through mistakes carefully, and shows him how to improve his answers step by step. She also adjusts her teaching according to my son’s exam boards and level. My son is less anxious about English now and is slowly gaining confidence. We are very happy with her support and would definitely recommend her.
She is especially good at supporting students who are weaker in English and need clear guidance and structure.

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child has their heart set on Runshaw College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in GCSE English Language and Literature and are experienced in helping students secure the grades needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific skills your child needs to improve, from essay structure to exam technique, to help them feel confident and prepared.
We live in Appley Bridge. Are the tutors familiar with the standards required for local colleges like St John Rigby?
While our tutors are based across the UK, they are all experts in the national curriculum for GCSEs and A-Levels. They understand the standards required for entry into popular and competitive colleges and can tailor their teaching to help your child meet and exceed those expectations.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles, watch introduction videos, and check 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.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and must provide a valid DBS check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from £15 per hour. You can use the search filters on our site to find an experienced tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your own home.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Sometimes, the biggest barrier to learning is a lack of confidence. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. This personalised attention often leads to a real boost in self-esteem.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
Every session is tailored to your child's needs. A lesson could involve working through tricky algebra problems, analysing quotes from 'An Inspector Calls', practising exam-style questions, or simply going over homework to iron out any misunderstandings.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's English results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but regular, focused sessions can make a big difference quite quickly. Many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few lessons. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child also learn something like coding or a musical instrument?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! You can find expert tutors for skills like coding, learning a new language, or playing instruments like the guitar or piano. It's a great way to support your child's hobbies and passions.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are simple and secure. After each lesson, payment is automatically taken from the card you have on file. There are no complicated invoices or upfront costs, and you can easily track all your payments through your Tutorful account.
