Adora P
English English, Science, Phonics, SATs
Hi! I’m a fully qualified UK primary teacher with over five years of classroom experience, and I now specialise in 1:1 tutoring for children aged 5–11. I’ve taught every year group from Reception to Year 6 and have helped many children grow in confidence — especially in phonics, maths, reading and SATs preparation.I started tutoring because I’ve seen first-hand how personalised support can unlock a child’s potential. I remember one Year 3 pupil who struggled with writing; by breaking tasks into small steps, using visuals and positive reinforcement, she went from reluctant writer to story-lovin...

Holly E
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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form like Brampton Manor Academy. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure places at highly competitive schools and sixth forms. They can focus on the specific skills and grade requirements needed, helping your child build the knowledge and confidence to perform their best in their GCSEs.
Can a tutor help my child get the grades for Barking Abbey Sixth Form?
Definitely. Our tutors can create a learning plan tailored to helping your child meet the entry requirements for specific sixth forms. They can work on exam technique, close gaps in their knowledge, and provide the one-to-one support needed to aim for those crucial higher grades in English.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to discuss your child's needs before booking. The best fit is often a tutor whose teaching style and personality connect with your child, making learning feel positive and encouraging.
How much does an online English tutor in Barking cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the 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 a tutor help my child with GCSE English specifically?
Our tutors can provide targeted support for both the English Language and English Literature papers. This could mean practising essay structures for 'An Inspector Calls', analysing unseen poetry, or improving spelling, punctuation, and grammar to pick up vital marks.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
Most families find that one session a week works well to build momentum and reinforce what's being taught in school. However, you can arrange sessions as frequently as you need, especially in the run-up to exams. It's completely flexible.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has undergone an ID check and has a valid DBS or background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
Can tutoring help build my child's confidence, not just their grades?
This is one of the biggest benefits we see. The one-to-one attention from a supportive tutor helps your child feel heard and understood. As they start to grasp topics they once found tricky, their confidence grows, which has a positive impact on their schoolwork and beyond.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to ask questions or discuss their development. Seeing your child feel more positive and less stressed about English is often the first sign that tutoring is working.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like guitar or coding?
While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also believe in learning for life. You can find brilliant tutors who can teach your child a new skill or hobby, from playing the guitar and singing to coding in Python.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
