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 I find a tutor experienced with the 11+ for South West Herts Consortium schools?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have specific experience with the requirements of the South West Herts Consortium, including schools like Dame Alice Owen's. You can check their profiles for this experience or message them to ask directly.
My child is aiming for a top London university. Can a tutor help build the skills they'll need?
Definitely. A great English tutor can help build a strong foundation right from the start. They can work with your child on the advanced comprehension, analytical, and writing skills that are essential for achieving top GCSE and A-Level grades, which are critical for applications to competitive universities.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check tutors' qualifications on their profiles. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a session.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter your search by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
How will tutoring help my child's confidence?
One-to-one lessons create a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without the pressure of a classroom. As they start to grasp tricky topics and see their skills improve, their self-belief and confidence often grow significantly.
What makes Tutorful tutors different?
We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is background-checked and interviewed by our team to ensure they have the right experience and a passion for teaching, giving you peace of mind.
What is the First Lesson Guarantee?
We want you to be completely happy with your choice of tutor. If, for any reason, the first lesson isn't the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to discuss how things are going and review lesson recordings to see what they've been working on.
Is tutoring just for school subjects?
Not at all. While we help thousands of students with academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have expert tutors for hobbies and life skills, including learning an instrument like the guitar, coding, or even public speaking.
How long are the lessons?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which most parents and students find works best. However, you can discuss arranging longer or shorter sessions directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson through the platform. Tutors have their own cancellation policies (usually 12 or 24 hours' notice), which you can see on their profile before you book.
