Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

I just wanted to send you a heartfelt thank-you for the English lessons you gave my son. After only three sessions with you, he managed to pass — and we couldn’t be happier! He really enjoyed your lessons and said you made everything easy to understand and enjoyable.I truly appreciate the time, patience, and encouragement you gave him. It’s made a huge difference to his confidence and attitude toward English. Thanks again for all your help — we’re both very grateful!

Amazing tutor! I went from a weak grade 3 in English Language to being just one mark off a 6. Lessons were clear, supportive, and really boosted my confidence. I couldn’t have done it without their help and would 100% recommend.

Ameena tutored our son for an English language retake and he got an 8! He went up 3 grades from a 5. Her tutoring was focussed and responsive and she did it all over about 7 weeks. Could not ask for more. Thank you so much Ameena!

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for Tapton School's sixth form. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and know what it takes to secure top grades. They can work with your child to strengthen their essay writing, improve their textual analysis, and build their confidence ahead of exams, which can help improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
We're thinking long-term about a Russell Group university like Sheffield. Can an English tutor help with that goal?
Yes, building a strong foundation in English is crucial for university applications. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and communication skills needed for competitive A-Level courses and, eventually, for writing a compelling personal statement for their university application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend watching tutors' intro videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also read reviews from other parents in Broomhall and message tutors for free to ask about their experience before you book a lesson.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child's needs. A session might focus on planning an essay, analysing a poem, or working through past paper questions. Our online classroom has an interactive whiteboard, file sharing, and video chat, making it feel just like they're in the same room.
How much does an English tutor in Broomhall cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget and filter your search to find someone who is a great fit for your family. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and has to pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
My child's confidence in English is very low. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins and breaking down tough topics can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like creative writing?
While we cover all core academic subjects, we also have brilliant tutors who can help your child explore their passions. You can find tutors for creative writing, public speaking, and even learning an instrument like the guitar or piano.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set number. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly sessions to build their skills over time. You can discuss your child's goals with your chosen tutor to create a plan that works for them.
Can I track my child's progress?
Of course. The best way is to have a quick chat with your tutor. They can provide regular feedback on how your child is getting on, what they've been working on, and what the plan is for future sessions. It's a team effort!
What technology do we need for online tutoring?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no need to download any complicated software.
