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

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends The Sir John Colfox Academy. Can a tutor help them secure a top grade for college applications?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and understand what's needed to achieve a grade 7 or above. They can work with your child on specific areas, from exam technique to understanding marking criteria, to help strengthen their applications for competitive local sixth forms and colleges.
We're hoping for a place at a university like Exeter or Bristol. How can an English tutor help with that long-term goal?
A strong foundation in English is critical for success at top universities, especially in essay-based subjects. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical, critical thinking, and writing skills that admissions tutors at universities like Exeter and Bristol look for, starting with securing excellent GCSE grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step towards building their confidence and helping them learn.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship 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 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 tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be completely confident in their quality and professionalism.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. A tutor can go over topics at your child's pace until things 'click', helping them feel much more capable and self-assured.
Can we get help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, most of our English tutors are experienced in teaching both GCSE English Language and Literature. You can confirm this on their profile or by sending them a quick message to discuss your child's specific requirements for each subject.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to help you stay informed about your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going and see the improvements in your child's schoolwork and confidence.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The most common session length is one hour, which gives enough time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor to best suit your child's needs and concentration span.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning an instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding.
