I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment.

This meant that the student has control of their own learning and working on the...

Gearoid C
Gearoid supported my son with GCSE English during a key transition period in Year 11. My son had moved schools and was adjusting to a different GCSE specification, which had left noticeable gaps in his knowledge. Gearoid helped him bridge those gaps methodically and clarified the expectations of the exam board.
From the very first session, there was a shift in confidence. My son came out saying, “So I’m not stupid.” Over time, that developed into him saying he “felt clever.” For a student who can struggle with processing speed and exam anxiety, this was a significant and meaningful change.
Gearoid is calm, professional and thoughtful in his approach. He communicates clearly, is reliable, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. I am grateful for the role he played in rebuilding both understanding and belief.

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.
