Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

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.
