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.

I just wanted to send you a heartfelt thank-you for the English lessons you gave my son. After only three sessions with you, he managed to pass — and we couldn’t be happier! He really enjoyed your lessons and said you made everything easy to understand and enjoyable.I truly appreciate the time, patience, and encouragement you gave him. It’s made a huge difference to his confidence and attitude toward English. Thanks again for all your help — we’re both very grateful!

Amazing tutor! I went from a weak grade 3 in English Language to being just one mark off a 6. Lessons were clear, supportive, and really boosted my confidence. I couldn’t have done it without their help and would 100% recommend.

Ameena tutored our son for an English language retake and he got an 8! He went up 3 grades from a 5. Her tutoring was focussed and responsive and she did it all over about 7 weeks. Could not ask for more. Thank you so much Ameena!

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a Sutton or Kingston grammar school. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can help your child master the specific creative writing and comprehension skills needed for these competitive exams, building their confidence and exam technique in a supportive, one-to-one setting.
My child is feeling the pressure of school competition near Banstead. How can a tutor help?
It's a common concern, and a tutor can be a huge help. By working with your child in a relaxed, encouraging environment, a tutor can help them see challenges as opportunities to learn, not just tests to be passed. This builds resilience and a real sense of confidence in their own abilities.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can use our filters to find tutors with the right experience, for example, 11+ or GCSE. You can read their profiles, watch their intro videos, and check reviews from other parents. We also recommend messaging a few tutors to find the best fit before booking.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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?
Our tutors set their own rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices typically start from around £20 per hour and vary based on the tutor's experience and level of demand. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor must have a valid DBS check (or equivalent) and provide references. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 onto the platform, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, a shared whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents. It’s an interactive and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this is usually the most effective length of time for maintaining focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that fits your child’s needs and your family’s routine directly with your tutor.
How can a tutor help my child with confidence in English?
A great tutor creates a safe space where your child feels comfortable asking questions they might not ask in a busy classroom. This personalised attention and positive reinforcement helps them overcome learning blocks and builds a genuine belief in their abilities.
Do you only offer tutoring for core academic subjects?
While we have fantastic tutors for Maths, English, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for everything from modern languages and music to coding and university-level support.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can message them to arrange a first lesson. Many families are able to have their first session within 48 hours of signing up.
