Josh L
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.

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

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for colleges like Runshaw or Winstanley?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the crucial Grade 5s and 6s in GCSE English needed for competitive local colleges. They can focus on exam technique, building confidence, and closing any knowledge gaps to give your child the best possible chance of success.
Are tutors able to support A-Level ambitions for universities like Lancaster or Liverpool?
Yes. A strong GCSE in English is the foundation for A-Level success. Our tutors help build the core analytical and writing skills at GCSE that your child will rely on for their A-Level studies, putting them on a firm path towards achieving the grades needed for top universities.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check a tutor's experience. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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 does online tutoring work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has everything your child needs, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way to learn from home.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors are freelance and set their own prices, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden costs or complicated fees.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors are from the UK and have passed a background check before they can teach on our platform.
How can tutoring build my child's confidence?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions and make mistakes without fear of judgement. This personal attention helps them understand topics at their own pace, which is a huge confidence booster.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families choose to have one lesson a week, but it's completely flexible. You and your tutor can decide on a schedule that works best for your child's goals, whether that's regular weekly support or a few intensive sessions before an exam.
Can a tutor help with a specific text, like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Yes, absolutely. Tutors tailor their lessons to exactly what your child is studying. They can provide expert guidance on specific exam texts, poetry anthologies, or any other area of the English curriculum your child finds tricky.
How long is a typical lesson?
The standard lesson length is one hour. This gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. You can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor if needed.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding.
