Megan G
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 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 to Richard Huish College. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many parents in Bridgwater share this goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students move beyond a pass to secure the higher grades (6, 7, and above) that make an application to a competitive sixth form like Richard Huish stand out. They can focus specifically on the skills needed to meet and exceed those entry requirements.
We're hoping for a top university like Bristol or Exeter. How does English tutoring help with that?
A strong GCSE and A-Level in English is often a prerequisite for top universities. Tutors help your child develop the critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills that admissions teams at places like Bristol and Exeter value highly. Building a strong foundation now is a direct investment in their future university application.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
It's all about the right fit. You can read tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step to success.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key. That's why we have a 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 much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price on our website to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
My child has lost confidence in English. Can a tutor really help?
Yes, this is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. They celebrate small wins and build confidence step-by-step, which often leads to a much more positive attitude towards the subject.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can join our platform. We accept just 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It 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 long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few weeks. Our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tuition.
Can a tutor help my child move from a grade 4 to a 6 in GCSE English?
Definitely. This is a very common goal. A tutor can identify the specific gaps in knowledge or exam technique that are holding your child back. They will create a tailored plan to strengthen those areas, helping your child secure the higher grade they're capable of.
What happens in a typical one-hour English lesson?
The tutor will usually start by checking in on how your child is feeling about the subject and any recent schoolwork. The main part of the lesson will focus on a pre-agreed topic, whether it's analysing a poem, planning an essay, or practising grammar. It's always interactive and tailored to your child's needs.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer expert support for core academic subjects, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to mastering coding with Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
