Rebecca B
English Experienced English GCSE Tutor
I inspire my students to think creatively about language and imagery and to visualise literary concepts in a way they understand. I give students practical knowledge about writing techniques and accurate use of language. I also give students clear step by step guidance so they feel confident and can eventually work independently. I seek to set up frameworks and questions that prompt students to use the knowledge they already have and to keep building their learning.

Holly E
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.

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.
