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.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the Berkshire 11+ exam. Can I find a tutor with experience in this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation, including the specific verbal reasoning and comprehension skills needed for the Berkshire exam. You can use our search filters to find tutors with proven experience in helping children succeed in their grammar school entrance exams.
We're aiming for a top grade in GCSE English at a school like The Willink. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. Our tutors can provide targeted support for the GCSE English curriculum. They can help your child deepen their understanding of set texts, improve their essay writing, and master the exam techniques needed to secure a grade 7 or above, opening up more options for their A-Levels and university applications.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to look at their profile videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. Many tutors offer a free introductory chat, which is a great opportunity for you and your child to meet them and see if it's a good fit before booking a lesson.
How do you make sure tutors are safe to work with children?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor must pass an interview and have their ID verified. We also require them to hold an up-to-date background check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Tutor prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications, but you can easily see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is 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 can tutoring help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As they start to grasp difficult concepts and see their skills improve, their confidence naturally grows, which often has a positive impact on their work in the classroom too.
What kind of improvement can we really expect?
While every child learns at their own pace, our personalised approach gets results. 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade, and our data shows we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades.
How do the online lessons actually 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 they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection. It's simple, secure, and effective.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week works well for consistent progress. However, you have the flexibility to schedule more sessions during busy times, like just before exams, or less frequently if you prefer. It's completely up to you and your tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?
While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have experts who teach music, languages, coding, and much more. It's a great way for your child to explore a new hobby or develop a new skill.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started right away. Simply search for a tutor, send them a message to check their availability, and you could be having your first lesson in the next day or two. It's a quick and easy way to get your child the support they need.
