Johanna P
Expert English tutor
I am an enthusiastic English tutor, relatively new to Tutorful but with 6+ years of tutoring experience elsewhere. I would love to work with you to achieve the grade you want. At school, I completed English exams at Nat 5, Higher and Advanced Higher level, and received an A* grade each time. My love for the subject lead me to pursue a degree in English at St Andrews University, where I achieved a 1:1, and have just recently completed a Masters in English Literature. This has given me a high degree of familiarity with exam requirements, and a wide-ranging knowledge of literature - if you have an...

Kirsty M
Friendly English tutor
Hi! I'm Kirsty, a published professional German-English and Portuguese-English translator. I have a great enthusiasm for all things Languages and Academia and I hope that my enthusiasm will rub off on you or your child. I have experience teaching English as a Second Language for six months, as well as working with autistic kids and teaching them about sailing through my partner's charity Autism on the Water, which I have been a part of for over a year now.

Anita S
Anita has adapted very well to my son’s learning needs and has approached the sessions in a way that is both structured and effective. We specifically asked whether she could teach him in a formula-like way, with clear frameworks he could follow in exams, and she has done exactly that.
My son has an EHCP, and Anita has been thoughtful in adapting her teaching to suit the way he processes information. She explains clearly, asks the right questions, and works at a pace that stretches him without overwhelming him. He feels comfortable asking questions in her sessions, which is very important.
She focuses strongly on exam questions and structure, especially the 40-mark question, and my son is already getting better at approaching this. She also sets homework, which helps reinforce the learning between sessions.
Overall, Anita has provided exactly the kind of structured, exam-focused support my son needs, and we are very pleased with the progress he is making in a very short period of time.

Kwaku O
Kwaku is a fantastic tutor. My 15-year-old son says he’s the best tutor he’s ever had. He’s very flexible—if my son needs help with a different subject or wants to adjust the session plan, Kwaku adapts easily and is always incredibly helpful. He’s also very easy to build a rapport with.
We’re absolutely delighted with our tutor. Thank you.

Gloria J
I am very grateful for the GCSE support my son has received from Gloria. She is very supportive, patient and thorough, always taking the time to ensure he fully understands.
She encourages him to write more and to work independently, which has really helped build his confidence. I have seen a clear improvement in both his attitude and ability. I would highly recommend Gloria.
