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 is at Belper School and wants to go to Derby College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. This is one of the main reasons parents come to us. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the specific GCSE grades they need, like a 5 or 6, to move on to their chosen A-Level courses at colleges like Derby College.
We're hoping for a place at a top university like Nottingham or Loughborough. Can a tutor support A-Level English skills?
Yes. Many of our English tutors are specialists in A-Level and beyond. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed to excel in their exams and create a strong university application for competitive courses.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know 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 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 reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications on their profile. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs and ensure they're the perfect match.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study, but you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget. All costs are clearly shown on each tutor's profile with no hidden fees.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked, and we interview every single one. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
My child has lost confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is where one-to-one tutoring really shines. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to work at their own pace, ask questions without fear of judgement, and celebrate small wins, which is often the key to rebuilding their confidence.
How does online tutoring work?
All our lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work together, just as they would in person.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child's needs. It could involve going over a tricky piece of homework, practising exam techniques for a specific paper, analysing a poem together, or planning and writing an essay with expert guidance.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
It varies for each child, but consistency is key. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. We find that regular lessons are the best way to build knowledge and secure better grades over a term.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills too?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have brilliant tutors for music, languages, and practical skills like coding. You can find tutors for everything from guitar to Python!
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are simple and secure. You add your card details to your account, and you're only charged 24 hours after each lesson is complete. There's no need to handle cash or make awkward bank transfers.
