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.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply for A-Levels at Bilborough College. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Our English tutors are very familiar with the entry requirements for popular local colleges. They can help your child focus on the specific GCSE topics and skills needed to secure their place and feel prepared for the step up to A-Level study.
Can a tutor help my child with their university personal statement for places like Loughborough or Nottingham?
Yes, many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students craft compelling personal statements. They can help your child articulate their strengths, structure their ideas, and refine their writing to create an application that truly stands out to admissions teams.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking. Look for someone whose teaching style and experience align with your child's personality and learning goals.
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. Tutors display their prices clearly on their profiles, so you can find effective, affordable support that works for your family.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is 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 single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be completely confident in their quality and professionalism.
How can online tutoring help improve my child's GCSE English grade?
Our tutors provide focused, one-to-one attention that's often not possible in a busy classroom. They can identify specific gaps in your child's knowledge and build a lesson plan to tackle them directly, which is why we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
How does online tutoring help build my child's confidence?
A private, one-to-one setting gives your child a safe space to ask questions they might be hesitant to ask in class. This personalised support and encouragement from an expert tutor helps them overcome learning hurdles, leading to 'aha!' moments that build lasting confidence.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which features a whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might work through a past paper with your child, help them plan an essay on 'An Inspector Calls', or practise analysing poetry together, all tailored to their specific needs.
How long are the sessions and how often should we have them?
Most sessions are one hour long. We generally recommend one session per week to build momentum and see consistent progress, but the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your chosen tutor to fit your family's schedule.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. You'll be able to see their confidence grow as they start to master topics they once found difficult. Many parents tell us they see a positive change not just in their child's grades, but in their whole attitude towards learning.
Do you offer tutoring for skills other than school subjects?
Yes, we do! While we have experts across all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have talented tutors who can teach practical and creative skills like coding, playing the guitar, learning a new language, and much more.
