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.

Lovely tutor, very helpful and concise with the additional support, as well as making sure I was confident on the topics we discussed. Very interactive and informative with making sure my thesis and essay writing structure was at a highest level it could be, gave me a really good insight into top band essay skills that I will be using from now on!!

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

I would highly recommend Lee. He has supported my son in increasing his understanding of GCSE poetry, personalising each lesson to meet his needs and gives timely feedback after each lesson. My son is making great progress and I have seen increased confidence since he has started.

Anita S
Anita really helps me with English - especially by going through the mark scheme in greater detail than in class, which is really useful when it comes to improving my essays. She also has helped with improving my analysis, providing me with stronger context and helping me add depth to it. I really recommend her as she is great!

Cerise S
Cerise has been such a lovely and supportive English tutor for Eisa. She really helped him find structure and confidence in his lessons and I could see the difference in how he approached his reading and writing. She always came well prepared with materials and gave clear guidance on what to work on..for example, getting him to read A Christmas Carol and pick out key quotes and themes to discuss together.
Eisa really enjoyed her lessons and found her teaching style easy to follow. She’s been patient, encouraging and genuinely invested in his progress. We’ve really appreciated all her help!

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 Exeter College. Can a tutor help them secure the top GCSE English grades they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students aim for grades 7, 8, and 9. They can focus specifically on the exam board your child's school uses, working on essay technique, text analysis, and exam strategy to help them achieve the results needed for competitive sixth forms and colleges.
We live in Budleigh Salterton and are aiming for a Russell Group university like Exeter. Can you help with this long-term goal?
Yes, we can. Strong GCSE grades are the foundation for a competitive university application. By helping your child master English now, a tutor can build the analytical and communication skills they'll need for A-Levels and for writing a compelling personal statement when the time comes.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and read reviews from thousands of other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked using an enhanced DBS check. We also personally interview and vet every tutor, accepting only 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the very best.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can expect to pay between £25 and £45 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive environment makes a huge difference. When a child feels heard and understood, they're more likely to ask questions and take risks. Our tutors are experts at celebrating small wins and breaking down big challenges, which is fantastic for building self-esteem.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed for progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. We know our methods work, as 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
A session is usually tailored to what your child is covering in school that week or a specific area they need to improve. It could involve going over a tricky poem, planning an essay structure, practising exam questions, or working on grammar and punctuation.
How do I book and pay for lessons?
It's all handled securely through our platform. Once you've chosen a tutor, you can schedule lessons at times that suit you. Payments are processed safely online after each lesson is complete, so there's no need for cash or awkward conversations.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're experts in core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have fantastic tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to code in Python, play the guitar, or even speak a new language, all with our trusted tutors.
