David J
Experienced English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to Ashington Academy. Can a tutor help them secure a Grade 5 or above in GCSE English?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target specific grades. They can work with your child on the exact curriculum and exam board used by their school, focusing on weak spots and building the skills and exam technique needed to confidently achieve a Grade 5 or higher.
We're hoping for A-Levels in Morpeth or Newcastle. Can a tutor help with this transition?
Yes, an English tutor can be a great help. They can focus on securing the essential GCSE grades your child needs for entry, while also building the deeper analytical and essay-writing skills that will help them make a smooth and successful transition to the demands of A-Level study.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. It's a great way to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs and goals.
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 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, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn face-to-face with their tutor from home.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can rebuild their self-belief, which makes a huge difference to their results.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked, and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
What results can we really expect?
While every child is different, our students see fantastic results. We're proud that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs, this can mean an improvement of up to two grades, which can make all the difference to their future options.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set rule. Some students need a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others benefit from weekly lessons throughout the school year. You can discuss your child's goals with your chosen tutor to create a plan that works for you.
Can we have lessons during the school holidays?
Of course. Many parents find the school holidays are a great time for their child to catch up or get ahead without the pressure of schoolwork. You can arrange a schedule that fits your family's plans directly with your tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also offer a huge range of other options. Whether your child wants to learn a new language, pick up the guitar, or even get into coding, we have expert tutors who can help.
