Janan S
Janan is such a great tutor! She explains things really well and is able to fully break down areas I struggle with in English and make it easy to follow. She is also very personable and creates an easy atmosphere and is very understanding when I am behind in assignments for her, having a very dedicated work ethic, making up for what I lack. She creates a very welcoming environment and I genuinely do enjoy our lessons. Also she has helped direct me towards revision strategy’s as well so I do feel I have improved too in that areas and in English in general too. Would strongly recommend!

Frances H
Frances has been helping my daughter with English and SPaG in preparation for her SATs and after just a few sessions, I’ve seen a difference. She sets weekly homework, takes a genuine interest in my daughter’s week and makes learning fun by playing games like hangman to aid spelling. My daughter is engaged and is starting to really grasp the content. Frances is patient, encouraging and explains things clearly, which has already boosted my daughter’s confidence.

Alexander A
We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

My son has just started with Mamun, so far I am very happy. At first, my son was finding it a bit difficult to understand him, but when I expected it to Mamun he was very nice about it, and he did exactly what I wanted.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

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.
