The Right Support to Help Your Child Stand Out
The perfect tutor does more than just teach; they take the time to understand your child as an individual. By getting to know their learning style and specific goals, they can create a supportive partnership that makes learning feel positive and engaging. It’s a huge comfort to know your child’s tutor is a true expert, as we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply. Every single lesson is planned around your child. If they're struggling to get to grips with Shakespearean language or need to refine their essay technique for 'An Inspector Calls', their tutor will focus the session on exactly that. This personalised approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade – it’s support that’s designed just for them. Organising tutoring is simple and fits around your busy family life. You can find and message tutors anytime, and because all lessons are online, there’s no need to travel. Your child can learn from the comfort of home, at a time that works for everyone.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends a state school in the Bedford area and is aiming for a Russell Group university. Can a tutor help bridge any gaps?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experts at identifying the specific analytical and essay-writing skills required for top A-Level grades and competitive university applications. They can create a personalised plan to build your child's confidence and ensure they have the skills to compete at the highest level.
We live near Bedford and my child feels the pressure from the local independent schools. Can a tutor help them feel more confident?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can work at their own pace, free from classroom pressure. By focusing on their specific challenges, tutors help build genuine confidence and a deeper understanding of the subject.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential. 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introduction videos, read their student reviews, and check their experience. You can also message them before booking to discuss your child's needs. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
How much does an online English tutor in Bedford cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find the perfect fit for your budget.
How do you check your tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our absolute priority. Every one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS background check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
My child's grades are okay, but their confidence in English is low. How can a tutor help?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, your child can ask questions they might be shy about in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics, like analysing poetry, into manageable steps, which is a fantastic way to rebuild their self-belief.
How do online lessons work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All you need is a laptop or computer with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families start with one hour-long lesson per week, as this consistency helps to build momentum. However, you can arrange a schedule that works for you and your child directly with your tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects, we also believe in learning for life! You can find tutors for a huge range of skills, from learning guitar and creative writing to coding in Python.
How quickly will I see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our personalised approach gets results. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and many parents tell us they notice a boost in their child's confidence and enthusiasm for the subject after just a few sessions.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first session is usually about the tutor getting to know your child. They'll chat about what they enjoy, what they find tricky in English, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed way to build a good relationship and start creating a learning plan.
