Online teaching onlyI am an experienced and qualified graduate teacher at KS2 and KS3 level (up to and including Year 8) with many years' practice of teaching and preparing pupils for entrance exams to independent and state grammar schools.The importance of a sympathetic and patient approach is an essential quality that I have recognised and practised over a number of years. Pupils will find learning easier if they enjoy the work they are doing. Building confidence in pupils is vital as is ensuring that they understand the work and can thereby express their own ideas and not rely on memory alone....

Flora I
Flora is patient and takes the time to ensure my child understands concepts properly before moving on. She always comes well prepared, communicates effectively with my son, and explains things clearly. She also takes time to prepare homework assignments and resource materials to reinforce learning.
She’s easy to reach and is happy to chat with parents about progress and the ways we can support learning at home. My son enjoys her teaching and is happy to add one more lesson a week with Flora. I’d gladly recommend her to others looking for a solid tutor.

Gearoid C
Gearoid supported my son with GCSE English during a key transition period in Year 11. My son had moved schools and was adjusting to a different GCSE specification, which had left noticeable gaps in his knowledge. Gearoid helped him bridge those gaps methodically and clarified the expectations of the exam board.
From the very first session, there was a shift in confidence. My son came out saying, “So I’m not stupid.” Over time, that developed into him saying he “felt clever.” For a student who can struggle with processing speed and exam anxiety, this was a significant and meaningful change.
Gearoid is calm, professional and thoughtful in his approach. He communicates clearly, is reliable, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. I am grateful for the role he played in rebuilding both understanding and belief.

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.
