Lucy C
Experienced English Tutor - KS3, GCSE, A level, University
Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced online tutor and examiner, who has been teaching English Language & Literature and Religious Studies online since 2013. I am a fully qualified teacher with a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education.While I am a passionate tutor of each of these two subjects individually, more importantly I feel that my experience in each subject contributes something to the other. For example, my knowledge of Biblical and Greek mythological references from my study of world religions is often really useful when interpreting certain texts by Shakespeare or other non-contemporary...
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.

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.

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
The local sixth forms in and around Bicester are very competitive. Can a tutor help my child secure the English grade they need?
Yes, this is a common goal for parents we work with. A dedicated English tutor can focus on the specific areas your child needs to improve to hit their target grades for A-Level entry. For GCSE students, we know that focused support can improve results by up to two grades, which can make all the difference.
My child hopes to study at Oxford or Oxford Brookes. Can a tutor help with their application?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students with their personal statements and interview preparation for top universities. They can help your child articulate their ideas clearly and confidently, which is a vital skill for a competitive application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles for each tutor, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents just like you. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat before you book, so you and your child can get a feel for their teaching style and make sure it's a good match.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single UK-based tutor on our platform has been through a background check. We are also very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted, ensuring your child is learning with the best.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
This is where one-to-one tutoring really shines. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child’s self-belief step-by-step.
How much does online English tutoring 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 long-term contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which is designed for one-to-one learning. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Can tutoring help my child with specific GCSE English texts or exams?
Yes, definitely. Tutors can provide targeted support for specific set texts, like 'Macbeth' or 'An Inspector Calls', or focus on exam techniques for different papers. They can help your child understand marking schemes and what examiners are looking for.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one session a week, as this provides consistency and keeps the momentum going. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent sessions in the run-up to an exam, or less frequent top-ups. You can arrange this directly with your tutor.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most sessions are an hour long, which we find is perfect for covering a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn a hobby like guitar or a skill like coding?
It's not just for academics! While we have experts in everything from Maths to French, you can also find brilliant tutors for music, coding, art, and many other skills. It's a great way for your child to explore a new passion or develop a hobby.
