Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

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.

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
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.
