Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

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 wants to apply to West Suffolk College. Can a tutor help them secure the right GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. This is exactly what our tutors are here for. They have extensive experience helping students target specific grades, like the Grade 5 or above needed for many post-16 courses. They can focus on exam technique, coursework, and filling any knowledge gaps to give your child the best possible chance of securing their place.
We live in Brandon and worry about our child competing with students from bigger towns. How can online tutoring help?
This is a common concern, but one-to-one tutoring levels the playing field. It gives your child access to top-quality, specialist English tutors from across the UK, not just those who live nearby. This personalised support ensures they get the focused attention they need to build confidence and stand out, no matter where they're from.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message before you book. Think about your child's personality and learning style – would they work best with someone energetic and encouraging, or someone calm and methodical? Messaging a few tutors is a great way to find the perfect match.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every single one to ensure they have the right experience and passion for teaching. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in great hands.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an amazing tutor who fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Confidence is at the heart of what we do. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Celebrating small wins and breaking down difficult topics into manageable steps helps them see they *can* do it, which makes a huge difference to their self-esteem.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat and an interactive whiteboard. A tutor might work through a past paper with your child, analyse a poem together on the whiteboard, or help them structure and refine a practice essay. Every session is tailored to your child's specific needs for that week.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature GCSEs?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experienced in supporting students across both GCSEs. You can see their specific areas of expertise on their profiles, and you can always message them beforehand to confirm they cover the texts and topics your child is studying.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to download.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's work?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, which shows the long-term impact of regular, personalised support.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we're experts in core academic subjects, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find a brilliant tutor to help them explore their interests.
