Hello and welcome! My name is Raquel and I look forward to meeting you soon. In the meantime, allow me to share with you why I choose to tutor: Mixed memories of middle school and college spring to mind. Excitement bubbling up to return to school after a fun and well spend summer holiday with family and friends. What formed part of the anticipation was the sense of being ready. Ready to sit in class with fellow classmates, ready to take home homework, planning and organising assignments. It may seem as if I had forgotten the stress and pressure I found myself under in the previous school year,...

Flora I
Flora is a very patient, professional and well-prepared tutor. She always explains things clearly and teaches my son how to answer GCSE questions in a structured way. She provides homework, goes through mistakes carefully, and shows him how to improve his answers step by step. She also adjusts her teaching according to my son’s exam boards and level. My son is less anxious about English now and is slowly gaining confidence. We are very happy with her support and would definitely recommend her.
She is especially good at supporting students who are weaker in English and need clear guidance and structure.

Megan is a wonderful tutor!
My son has really enjoyed the sessions with her and she adapts them to ensure he is fully understanding the teaching.

I cannot recommend her enough!!

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to Barton Peveril College. Can a tutor help them get the required English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE English curriculum and know what colleges are looking for. They can work with your child to target the specific skills needed to secure a grade 6, 7, or higher, giving them the best possible chance of getting into their first-choice A-Level courses.
Can a tutor help my child with the skills needed for a Russell Group university like Southampton?
Yes. A-Level and university success is built on the foundations laid at GCSE. Our tutors focus on developing the crucial skills of critical thinking, analysis, and clear communication that top universities like the University of Southampton value highly in their applicants.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to make sure you've found a great match.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden surprises.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you and your child are completely happy. If the first lesson isn't a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. It's part of our First Lesson Guarantee.
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. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from home.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is interviewed and has their ID and background checked before they can teach on our platform. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How can tutoring help my child if they've lost their confidence?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-belief and rediscover a love for the subject.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange sessions with your tutor as often as you need, especially in the run-up to exams.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have experts who can teach practical and creative skills like coding, learning the guitar, or even a new language. It's all about changing lives through learning.
Can a tutor help with a specific part of the English course?
Yes, absolutely. If your child is struggling with a particular text, like 'Romeo and Juliet', or a specific skill, such as creative writing, you can find a tutor who specialises in that area. Lessons are tailored to exactly what your child needs to focus on.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the personalised attention of one-to-one tutoring often leads to progress quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
