Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

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 hopes to apply to BHASVIC or Varndean College. Can a tutor help them prepare?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping students develop the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills needed to stand out in applications and interviews for competitive colleges. They can help your child go beyond the curriculum to build a deeper understanding of the subject.
We're aiming for a humanities course at the University of Sussex. Can we find a tutor with relevant experience?
Definitely. You can view each tutor's profile to see their own academic background, including the university they attended and the subjects they studied. Many of our tutors are graduates from Russell Group universities and can provide invaluable insight and mentorship for your child's own university aspirations.
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 for any reason, just 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 right English tutor for my child?
Take a look at the tutor profiles. You can watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see the hourly rate on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child with their GCSE English exams specifically?
A tutor can provide focused support on the exact areas your child finds challenging, whether that's understanding Shakespeare, analysing poetry, or improving their creative writing. They can work on exam technique, time management, and building confidence to help them perform at their best. Our support has helped students improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and we've verified their ID. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to learning. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of being judged. A great tutor will celebrate small wins and adapt their teaching style to your child's personality, helping them to believe in their own abilities.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
Most families find that a one-hour session per week is ideal for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange sessions with your tutor as and when you need them, whether that's for regular weekly support or for a few extra lessons before an important exam.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that it's focused entirely on their needs, which often leads to faster progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have tutors for all academic subjects from primary school to university level, we also have experts who can teach a wide range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to code, play the guitar, or speak a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor to help them.
