Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child wants to apply to Blackpool Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the specific grades needed for college entry, like a Grade 4 or 5 in GCSE English. They can focus on the areas of the curriculum your child finds toughest to help them build the skills and confidence to meet the entry requirements for places like Blackpool Sixth Form or B&FC.

We live in Blackpool. Are the tutors local?

Because all our tutoring is online, your child can connect with the very best English tutors from across the UK, not just those in the immediate Blackpool area. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists, ensuring you find the perfect match for your child’s needs and personality, all from the comfort of home.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child’s safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor, and they must all pass an enhanced DBS background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands. With over 4,100 reviews giving us 4.6 stars, you can trust you're in the right place.

How much does online English tutoring cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can filter your search by price to find great tutors who fit your family's budget.

How do I choose the right tutor for my child?

You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few tutors who seem like a good fit and sending them a message to discuss your child's goals before booking a lesson.

Can a tutor help my child build confidence as well as grades?

Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. A one-to-one setting gives your child a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. As they see their skills improve, their confidence naturally grows, which often has a positive effect on their other subjects too.

How does online tutoring actually work?

It's simple! Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most students have one lesson per week, as this consistency helps to build momentum and confidence. However, our platform is completely flexible, and you can discuss the best approach with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.

What happens in a typical English lesson?

A typical English lesson is tailored to your child's needs. It might start with reviewing homework, then move on to tackling a tricky area like analysing poetry or structuring an essay. Tutors use the interactive whiteboard to break down concepts, work through examples together, and set clear goals for the next session.

Is tutoring only for school subjects like English?

While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer lessons in hundreds of other areas! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help.

How long does it take to see an improvement?

Every child learns at their own pace, but the one-to-one focus of tutoring means progress can happen quickly. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The key is the consistent, personalised support that helps things click for your child.
