Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Benson and are aiming for a grammar school in Aylesbury or High Wycombe. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English paper?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have extensive experience with the specific requirements of the Buckinghamshire exam. They can help your child build the core comprehension and creative writing skills needed to feel confident and perform at their best.
My child finds creative writing really difficult. Can I find a tutor who specialises in this?
Yes, you can. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in creative writing. They can provide targeted exercises and feedback to help your child develop their storytelling skills, structure their writing, and expand their vocabulary, which is a key part of the 11+ exam.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and has had their ID and qualifications verified by our team. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor celebrates small wins and provides constant encouragement, helping your child see their own progress and start believing in their abilities again.
How can I be sure my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback so you're always up to date on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going and what the focus of the next few lessons will be.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding, you can find expert tutors to support all of your child's interests and passions.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely unique to every child. Some students may only need a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others benefit from weekly support throughout the school year. You can discuss your child's goals with your tutor to create a plan that works for them.
