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
We're aiming for a South West Herts grammar school. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English paper?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are very experienced in preparing children for the 11+ entrance exams. They can help your child build confidence in key areas like comprehension, creative writing, and grammar, as well as developing effective exam techniques.
My child is applying to an independent school like Haberdashers'. Can tutors help with specific entrance exams?
Yes. Our tutors can create a tailored plan to prepare your child for the specific requirements of independent school entrance exams. You can discuss your target schools with tutors before booking to find someone with the right experience for you.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have a 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 do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
Every tutor has a detailed profile where you can see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents just like you. You can also send them a message before booking to discuss your child's needs and see if they are a good fit.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without the pressure of a classroom. Tutors can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and adapt their teaching style to help your child feel capable and motivated.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and level of study, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features 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, effective lesson from home.
How do I know my child is safe on the platform?
Your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors have been through a rigorous selection process, and we carry out background checks on every UK-based tutor. All lessons can also be recorded for your peace of mind.
Can a tutor help with a specific GCSE text, like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Yes, definitely. Many of our English tutors are specialists in the GCSE curriculum and can provide expert help with specific texts, focusing on theme, character, and quote analysis to help your child prepare for their exams.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works best, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that suits your child's goals and your family's routine directly with your chosen tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn coding, play the guitar, or even study music production, you can find expert tutors across hundreds of subjects on Tutorful.
What happens if we need to cancel a lesson?
We have a simple 12-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 12 hours' notice, you can cancel or reschedule a lesson without being charged. You can manage all your bookings easily through your Tutorful account.
