Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

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.

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.

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.
We're aiming for a grammar school in Armagh. Can a tutor help with the Transfer Test?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ and Transfer Test preparation. They can create a tailored plan for your child focusing on the specific skills needed, such as English comprehension, spelling, punctuation, and verbal reasoning, to help them feel confident and prepared.
My child is thinking about Queen's University Belfast. Can a tutor help with A-Level English?
Definitely. Our A-Level English tutors are brilliant at helping students master complex texts, develop strong analytical skills, and perfect their essay writing. This one-to-one support can be invaluable for securing the top grades needed for competitive university courses.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Finding the right fit is key. We recommend reading tutor profiles, checking their experience, and watching their introductory videos. You can also read reviews from other parents to get a real sense of their teaching style. Feel free to send a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's a 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 can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict selection process, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is interviewed, has their qualifications checked, and undergoes a background check before they can join our platform.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is seeing a child's confidence grow. In a supportive, patient environment, away from the pressure of the classroom, your child can ask questions freely and build their self-belief at their own pace.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile and use our search filters to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Our lessons are interactive and engaging. Your child and their tutor will use our online classroom, which has features like a shared whiteboard, to work through topics together. A tutor might review homework, practise comprehension questions, or plan an essay structure, all tailored to your child's needs.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or practise a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
How long are the sessions and how often should they be?
Most sessions are an hour long, and many parents find that one lesson a week works well. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what's best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
Do I need any special equipment for online tutoring?
All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to install.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can start looking for a tutor right away. Once you've found someone you like, you can send them a message to arrange your first lesson. Many of our 200,000+ happy students have found a tutor and started within a few days.
