Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form near Blackheath. Can a tutor help them achieve the grade 8 or 9 in English they need?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in helping students move from good grades to exceptional ones. They can focus on the specific analytical and writing skills required to hit the top marks, giving your child the best possible chance of securing a place at their first-choice sixth form.
We're thinking ahead to university applications for places like King's or UCL. How can tutoring help now?
That's a great way to think. Building a strong foundation at GCSE is crucial. A tutor can help your child develop the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills that top universities look for. This not only helps them achieve higher grades now but also prepares them for the demands of A-Levels and beyond.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child connects with.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Tutor prices vary depending on their 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 contracts.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
Can tutoring help my child build confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. The one-to-one attention from a supportive tutor helps your child understand topics they previously found difficult, which is a huge confidence booster. Seeing their grades improve reinforces this positive feeling.
Which exam boards do your English tutors cover?
Our tutors have experience with all the major UK exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC. You can check a tutor's profile for the specific exam boards they specialise in or ask them directly in a message.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor if needed.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we have experts in all core academic subjects, we also offer tutors for a wide range of other skills. You can find tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and public speaking.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are handled securely and easily through the platform. You add your payment details to your account, and you'll be charged automatically 24 hours after each completed lesson. You'll never need to handle cash or make direct bank transfers.
