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 at Chase Terrace Academy. Can we find a tutor who understands their specific GCSE English course?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are very familiar with the specific exam boards and texts used in local schools like Chase Terrace and Erasmus Darwin Academy. You can read tutor profiles and message them before booking to find the perfect match for your child's needs.
We're aiming for King Edward VI Sixth Form. Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grades they need?
Yes. A key goal for many parents is securing the grades needed for sixth form or college. Our tutors specialise in helping students target specific grades, like the vital Grade 5, by focusing on exam technique and building core subject knowledge.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the right fit. You can filter tutors by subject and level, then read their profiles to learn about their experience and teaching style. We recommend watching their introductory video and reading reviews from other parents to get a real sense of who they are.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to success. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-belief, which often has a huge impact on their results.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, with rates starting from £15 per hour. The price often reflects their experience and qualifications. You can see the hourly rate clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS or equivalent background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted to teach on Tutorful.
Can tutoring help with both English Language and English Literature?
Definitely. Most of our English tutors are experts in both and can create a learning plan that covers everything your child needs, from analysing unseen fiction for their Language exam to understanding the themes in 'An Inspector Calls' for their Literature paper.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, allowing your child and their tutor to work together just as they would in person. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How long are the sessions and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that a regular weekly session provides the consistency needed to see real progress, especially in the run-up to exams. However, you can arrange a schedule that works for you directly with your chosen tutor.
What results can we expect from tutoring?
While every child is different, our aim is to help them achieve their best. We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and for GCSEs, we can help students improve by up to two grades. The biggest change parents often see is a boost in their child's confidence.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something like creative writing?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Alongside core subjects like English and Maths, you can find brilliant tutors for skills like creative writing, public speaking, music, and even coding. It's all about helping your child find a passion for learning.
