Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic English Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to Baysgarth School. Can a tutor help them aim for a grade 5 or higher in GCSE English?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE English specialists and have extensive experience helping students secure the grades they need for their next steps. They can create a personalised plan to target areas your child finds difficult, building their skills and confidence to aim for a grade 5 and above.
We're hoping for a place at John Leggott or Wyke College. Can a tutor support this goal?
Yes, they can. A strong GCSE English grade is often a key requirement for competitive A-Level courses. A tutor can help your child not only with the curriculum but also with the exam technique and confidence needed to perform their best and strengthen their college applications.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
We understand that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents just like you. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with. You can also message tutors beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs, like preparing for their GCSEs.
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 long-term contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, so your child and their tutor can work together just as if they were in the same room. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are the tutors properly vetted?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has to go through a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, there's no fear of asking a 'silly' question. Tutors provide a supportive, encouraging environment where your child can work at their own pace, celebrate small wins, and gradually rebuild their self-belief in the subject.
Can tutoring help with specific texts, like Shakespeare?
Definitely. If your child is struggling to get to grips with 'Macbeth' or analysing poetry, a specialist English tutor can break down complex themes, characters, and language in a way that makes sense to them. They can focus sessions entirely on the specific texts your child is studying at school.
How long are the tutoring sessions and how often should they be?
Most sessions are an hour long, which is usually ideal for maintaining focus. The frequency is completely up to you and depends on your child's needs. Many families start with one session a week, especially in the run-up to exams, but you can arrange whatever works best for your schedule.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English and Maths?
While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects, we also offer a wide range of other skills. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and Python.
What if our schedule changes? Is it flexible?
Yes, flexibility is one of the main benefits. You're not tied into a fixed schedule. You can arrange lesson times directly with your tutor. If you need to reschedule a session, you can do so easily through the platform, as long as you give the tutor enough notice (as per their cancellation policy).
