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.
My child is at Bodmin College. Can a tutor help them get the grades needed for A-Levels at Truro and Penwith College?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for many parents we help. Our tutors are experienced in the GCSE curriculum and can focus specifically on the skills and knowledge your child needs to secure a Grade 5 or higher, giving them the best chance of accessing their desired A-Level courses.
We're hoping for a place at a competitive university like Exeter or Plymouth. Can an English tutor help with this long-term goal?
Yes. A strong foundation in English is critical for university applications, including personal statements and interviews. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and communication skills that top universities look for, starting with their GCSEs and continuing through A-Levels.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a lesson to ensure you find the perfect match.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £50 per hour depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child if they lack confidence in English?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, tutors create a supportive environment where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-belief, which often has a huge impact on their grades.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE texts, like Shakespeare or poetry?
Definitely. Many of our English tutors are specialists in the GCSE curriculum and can provide expert guidance on specific texts, from analysing characters in *An Inspector Calls* to understanding the themes in poetry anthologies. They can tailor lessons to exactly what your child is studying in school.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored, one-to-one approach is designed for progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Is tutoring only for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language. It's all about changing lives through learning, whatever the subject.
What happens in a typical one-hour English lesson?
A typical lesson starts with the tutor checking in on your child's progress and goals. They might review homework, work through a specific challenge like essay planning or analysing a poem, and then set some practice questions. The entire session is interactive and focused on your child's individual needs.
