Carole G
Professional English tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school.

John H
Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

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.

Flora is the best teacher that has ever taught my daughters. They even said they wish their English teacher at school were like Flora — which I think says everything. 😊 She is so patient, encouraging, and creates a positive atmosphere. It makes a real difference, and we truly appreciate her work.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Colonel Frank Seely Academy. Can a tutor help them aim for the top grades needed for Bilborough College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are highly experienced in helping students bridge the gap between a predicted pass and the high grades needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on exam technique and deeper subject knowledge to help your child's application stand out.
Are the tutors familiar with the entry requirements for competitive local sixth forms and universities?
Yes, our tutors are experienced with the UK education system and understand the standards required for A-Level study and university entry. You can discuss your child's specific goals with potential tutors to find someone with the right experience to support them.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important step.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. By working at their own pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them build self-belief that extends beyond the subject itself.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find an expert who fits your family's budget.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors have been identity and background checked before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child to work collaboratively with their tutor from the comfort of home.
Can we get help with specific GCSE English texts like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Of course. Tutors can provide targeted support for any specific texts, poems, or plays your child is studying for their GCSEs. This is a great way to deepen their understanding of themes, characters, and context.
What if our family schedule is really busy?
That's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. With tutors available from early morning to late evening, seven days a week, you can find a time that fits perfectly around school, clubs, and other commitments.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academic subjects, your child can learn a musical instrument like the guitar, a new language, or even practical skills like coding and public speaking. There's something for every interest.
How quickly can we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The personalised attention of one-to-one tutoring often helps students make progress more quickly than they would in a classroom setting.
