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.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

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 is hoping to apply to Caistor Grammar. Can a tutor help with 11+ English preparation?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience with 11+ entrance exams, including the verbal reasoning and comprehension skills needed for selective schools like Caistor Grammar. You can view tutor profiles and filter for those with 11+ experience to find the perfect match for your child.
We're aiming for a Grade 5+ in GCSE English to get into John Leggott College. Can a tutor focus on that?
Yes, this is a very common goal we help students achieve. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can tailor lessons to focus specifically on the skills needed to secure a Grade 5 or higher. They can help with everything from exam technique to understanding the marking criteria, giving your child the best chance of success. We can often help improve a child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse our list of English tutors and read their profiles, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their approach and ensure they're a good fit for your child's needs and personality.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right relationship is key to learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. When a tutor explains something in a way that just 'clicks' for your child, it can be a huge boost. This one-to-one attention in a safe space, away from the pressure of the classroom, helps them feel comfortable asking questions and builds their self-belief.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an enhanced DBS background check. We also interview them and verify their ID and qualifications to ensure you have complete peace of mind.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Prices are set by the individual tutors and are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
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 a space to share documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a microphone, camera, and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. Some students have a regular weekly session to stay on top of their schoolwork, while others might have a few intensive sessions before an important exam. You can discuss the best plan with your tutor.
What results can I expect to see?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our aim is to make a real difference. With consistent support, students often show improved grades, greater confidence in class, and a more positive attitude towards learning. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.
Is tutoring only for core school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects, we believe in learning for life. You can also find expert tutors for hobbies and personal development, whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor if needed.
