As an English tutor I have tutored all ages, but I specifically tutor A Level Literature where I have a wide knowledge of the curriculum - I have tutored students across all the examination boards. I am a happy and enthusiastic mature person, who believes strongly in education and the confidence and opportunities that can be gained. My first aim is to encourage and praise pupils in their work - I believe enjoyment of the subject is the key to doing well.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to study at the University of Edinburgh. Can a tutor help with the demands of Higher English?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are highly experienced in helping students prepare for the analytical and essay-writing skills required for Higher English. They can help your child build the confidence and technique needed to secure a grade that strengthens their university application.
We live in Bathgate. Are the tutors familiar with the Scottish curriculum (SQA)?
Yes. You can easily filter your search to find tutors with specific experience in the Scottish curriculum, including National 5 and Higher qualifications. Many tutors list their SQA experience directly on their profiles, so you can be sure you're finding the right expert for your child.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check their qualifications and experience, and watch introductory videos to get a feel for their personality. We also recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking your first session.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. 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 hourly rates, which typically range from £15 to £40. You can use the search filters to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget, and you'll always see the price clearly on their profile before you book.
How do you make sure tutors are safe to work with?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a background check through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Sometimes, all a child needs is a bit of one-to-one encouragement. A tutor can create a safe, supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. This personalised attention often helps them see their own abilities more clearly, boosting their confidence in the classroom.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish to getting to grips with coding, there are thousands of tutors ready to share their passion.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, but you can arrange different session lengths directly with your tutor. It's completely flexible to fit around what works best for your child and your family's schedule.
Can I see how my child is getting on?
Of course. Our tutors are always happy to provide feedback on your child's progress. You can easily message your tutor through the platform to ask questions or arrange a quick chat to discuss how things are going.
