My son had a few English GCSE lessons with Ian now and he’s been great. He explains things clearly, is very patient, and always gives helpful feedback. He even stays a bit longer sometimes to finish the lesson properly. Really appreciate his support!

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 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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the Transfer Test for a Belfast grammar school. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the Transfer Test. They can build your child's confidence in comprehension, grammar, and writing skills, ensuring they feel ready and prepared for the day.
We're aiming for Queen's University Belfast. Can a tutor support A-Level English to help with their application?
Yes. A strong A-Level grade is crucial for applications to top universities like Queen's. Our tutors can provide in-depth support with text analysis, essay writing, and exam technique to help your child achieve the grades they need to stand out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view each tutor's profile, watch their introductory video, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a free chat beforehand, which is a great way to discuss your child's needs and see if it's a good fit before booking a lesson.
Are your tutors familiar with the CCEA curriculum in Northern Ireland?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience with the CCEA English curriculum for both GCSE and A-Level. You can check their profile bios or use our filters to find tutors who specialise in the specific exam board your child is studying.
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 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 contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, a great tutor can help turn anxiety into confidence and an 'I can't do it' attitude into an 'I can'.
How do the online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have thousands of academic tutors, we also offer support for a huge range of other skills! You can find tutors for learning a musical instrument like the guitar, a new language, or even practical skills like coding.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible and up to you. You can arrange sessions with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our UK-based tutors has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can send them a message directly from their profile to arrange your first lesson at a time that works for you both. Many tutors can start within a few days.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
