Megan G
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.
Megan provides an overview of feedback after to each session which allows me to understand what she has covered in the session and how to future support my son.
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.

He really enjoyed your lessons and said you made everything easy to understand and enjoyable.I truly appreciate the time, patience, and encouragement you gave him. It’s made a huge difference to his confidence and attitude toward English. Thanks again for all your help — we’re both very grateful!

Amazing tutor! I went from a weak grade 3 in English Language to being just one mark off a 6. Lessons were clear, supportive, and really boosted my confidence. I couldn’t have done it without their help and would 100% recommend.

Ameela R
Ameena tutored our son for an English language retake and he got an 8! He went up 3 grades from a 5. Her tutoring was focussed and responsive and she did it all over about 7 weeks. Could not ask for more. Thank you so much Ameena!

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the Bury Grammar School entrance exam. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience with 11+ and independent school entrance exams. They can help your child build confidence in comprehension, creative writing, and verbal reasoning to ensure they feel fully prepared for the English paper.
We're aiming for a top sixth form like Holy Cross College. How can tutoring help with English GCSEs?
Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum. They can provide targeted support to help your child master key texts, refine their essay writing, and improve their exam technique. In fact, we can help boost your child's GCSE results by up to two grades, giving them a stronger application for the college of their choice.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience, from primary school to A-Level and beyond. We recommend watching their introduction videos and reading reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson.
How much does an online English tutor in Bury cost?
The price of a tutor varies depending on their experience and qualifications. Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can easily find an expert who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. 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 actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It has all the tools needed for your child to have an engaging and effective lesson from the comfort of home.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply. All our tutors are background-checked, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive environment makes a huge difference. When your child has a space where they can ask questions without fear of judgement and see themselves making real progress, their confidence naturally grows. This often has a positive impact on their schoolwork in general.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that consistent tutoring works. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and engagement after just a few sessions.
Can my child get help with specific GCSE texts, like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Definitely. Tutors can provide focused sessions on any text your child is studying, whether it's analysing quotes from Shakespeare, understanding the themes in a modern novel, or practicing poetry comparison for their exams.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language.
Can a tutor help with university applications to places like the University of Manchester?
Yes. Many of our A-Level English tutors also specialise in university applications. They can provide invaluable support with personal statements, helping your child to articulate their passion for their chosen subject and stand out in a competitive field.
