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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're preparing for the 11+ for Boston Grammar School. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience with 11+ preparation. They can help your child build the core vocabulary, comprehension, and reasoning skills needed to feel confident and prepared for the exam.
My child needs a strong GCSE pass for their A-Level choices. Can a tutor help them get the grade they need?
Yes. Our tutors are brilliant at helping students aim for specific grades. They can identify areas where your child needs support, whether it's analysing poetry or structuring essays, to help them secure the results they need for A-Levels and future applications to universities like Lincoln.
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 message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps you find someone your child will connect with.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget and filter your search to find a tutor that works for your family. All pricing is clear and upfront on each tutor's profile.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 and identity verification, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work together effectively from the comfort of your home.
Can tutoring help my child feel more confident in class?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it gives students. Having a safe space to ask questions and master topics they find tricky often translates into more active participation and self-belief at school.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most tutoring sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to review previous topics and tackle new concepts without your child feeling overwhelmed. You can discuss the ideal session length with your chosen tutor.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session per week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be adjusted based on your child's needs, such as increasing sessions closer to an exam.
How can a tutor help my child with their reading comprehension?
Tutors use targeted techniques to help children understand texts more deeply. They can work on skills like identifying the main idea, making inferences, understanding vocabulary in context, and summarising passages – all key for exams like the 11+ and GCSEs.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also believe in learning for life. You can find tutors for a wide range of skills, from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding or even public speaking.
