Roberto F
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,...

Megan G
Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study A-Levels at a competitive local college. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary English GCSE grade?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. Our English tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and know exactly what examiners look for to award top grades. They can work with your child on specific areas, from analytical skills to exam technique, to help them get the grade 7 or above they need for their chosen A-Level courses.
We're aiming for a top university like Loughborough or Leicester. Can an English tutor help build the skills needed for that?
Yes. The critical thinking and analytical skills developed for English GCSE are the foundation for university-level study. A tutor can help your child master these skills early, building a strong academic base that will serve them well through A-Levels and into their university applications and future studies.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple. You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is key to building their confidence.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically starting from £20 per hour. You can see each tutor's rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget without any surprises.
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.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can join Tutorful. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Confidence comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors help students feel capable and motivated, which is often the biggest barrier to success.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection. It's simple, secure, and effective.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Consistent, weekly lessons often lead to the most significant progress, as they allow the tutor to build momentum and reinforce learning.
What happens in a typical one-to-one English lesson?
A typical lesson is tailored to your child's needs. It might start with a quick review of the last session, then move into a specific topic they're struggling with, like analysing a poem or planning an essay. The tutor will use the interactive whiteboard to work through examples together, ensuring your child fully understands before moving on.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, we can help.
How many lessons will my child need per week?
For most students, one hour-long lesson per week is ideal. This provides enough time to cover topics in depth without feeling overwhelming, and it creates a consistent routine for learning. You can always discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
