Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child prepare for the Gloucestershire 11+ for schools like Pate's or Sir Thomas Rich's?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can help your child build the specific comprehension, grammar, and creative writing skills needed for the exam, while also working on their confidence and exam technique.
My child goes to Cleeve School. Can a tutor help them aim for the top grades (7-9) in GCSE English?
Definitely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the highest grades. They can tailor lessons to the specific demands of the GCSE English curriculum, focusing on everything from analysing 'Macbeth' to mastering essay structure. We find our support can help improve GCSE results by up to two grades.
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. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their 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, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online English tutor 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 an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors properly vetted?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and interviewed by our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can tutoring help if my child lacks confidence?
Confidence is often the biggest barrier to learning. One-to-one tutoring creates a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins in each lesson helps build their self-esteem and belief in their own abilities.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families opt for one lesson per week to build momentum and see consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be discussed with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
What results can I expect?
While every child's journey is unique, we're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one academic grade. More than that, you can expect to see your child grow in confidence and develop a more positive attitude towards learning.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for a tutor, send them a message to check their availability, and you could have your first lesson booked within 24 hours. It's that easy to arrange the support your child needs.
