Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grade needed for Brockenhurst College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE English curriculum and know what colleges like Brockenhurst look for. They can focus on the specific areas your child needs to improve, helping them turn a grade 5 or 6 into a 7 or higher, which can make all the difference for competitive A-Level courses.
My child is aiming for a Russell Group university like Southampton. Can tutoring help with that?
Yes, it can. A strong foundation in English is critical for university applications and study. Our tutors can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills that top universities like Southampton and Bristol expect, setting them up for success long after their GCSEs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is important. 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.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts in core subjects from Maths to Science, we also offer tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, we have specialist tutors who can help.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. Many tutors specialise in specific areas like GCSE exam technique or creative writing. You can even message them before booking to make sure they're the right fit for your child's needs.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices typically start from around £15-20 per hour and vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, so you have complete flexibility.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection. It's simple, secure, and designed for learning.
My child's confidence in English is low. Can a tutor help with that?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Celebrating small wins and providing patient encouragement can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has to pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most families start with one session a week, especially when preparing for exams like GCSEs. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor, who will be happy to create a schedule that works for you.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to help you stay in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress. Often, the first sign you'll see is your child feeling more confident and positive about their English lessons at school.
What do other parents say about Tutorful?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students and have a rating of 4.6 stars from over 4,100 customer reviews. Parents often tell us they love the personalised support and the confidence boost it gives their child.
