I have been a tutor for four years, tailoring each lesson to the student’s individual learning needs.

As well as a variety of subjects offered, I attempt to equip the student with all of the resources they need for revision inside and outside of lessons. The teaching methods will vary from past papers to revision notes which suit the student’s specific learning abilities. I try to make the lesson as interesting as possible with this style of teaching, and a range of different res...

Dedicated English tutor
I am a determined person with an always positive attitude towards working. I enjoy working with other people as well as helping them to achieve their goals- for example, I always peer assess my colleagues essays before they submit them. I am seriously thinking about embarking upon a masters in either TESOL or archives and records management before qualifying to become either a teacher of English to foreign speakers or an archivist- both careers interest me greatly. Furthermore, I have recently completed a nine month placement in central France teaching English to primary school children aged 4-11,...

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is worried about getting the right grades for Ashby School's sixth form. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students make that step up to A-Levels. They can focus on the specific essay-writing and analytical skills needed to secure the top GCSE grades required for sixth form entry, building your child's confidence along the way.
We're hoping for a place at Loughborough or Nottingham University in the future. How important is a good English GCSE?
It's very important. Top universities like Loughborough and Nottingham often look for strong grades in core subjects like English Language and Literature, regardless of the degree course. A tutor can help your child build a strong foundation now that will support their university application later on.
What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. You can also send them a message before booking to make sure they're a good fit for your child's personality and learning needs.
My child 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. A tutor can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and show your child what they're truly capable of, which can make a huge difference.
How much does an 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, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, every single tutor on our platform has been through a rigorous selection process and has had their ID and background checked. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It's a secure and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
How can a tutor help my child with exam technique for GCSE English?
Tutors are brilliant at this. They can teach your child how to understand what examiners are looking for, how to structure their answers effectively, manage their time in the exam, and how to pick out the best quotes to analyse.
How often should my child have lessons?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most families find a weekly session works well for consistent progress, but you can arrange lessons more or less frequently to fit your schedule and needs.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! As well as core subjects like Maths and Science, your child can learn practical skills like coding or a musical instrument like the guitar. We have tutors for almost anything you can think of.
