Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Hills Road or Long Road Sixth Form. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students prepare for entry into competitive sixth forms. They can focus on strengthening the specific essay and analysis skills needed to achieve the top GCSE grades that colleges like Hills Road and Long Road look for.
With the academic pressure in the Cambridge area, how can a tutor help my child manage stress?
This is a great question. A tutor does more than just teach a subject; they act as a mentor. By breaking down difficult topics into manageable steps and celebrating small wins, they can rebuild your child's confidence and reduce anxiety. Having a dedicated space to ask questions without fear of judgement can make a huge difference.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is really important. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit, just 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 right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications on their profile. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals to ensure they're a great match.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough background check and identity verification before they can start teaching.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Can a tutor help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor will create a patient and encouraging environment where your child feels safe to ask questions and make mistakes. This personalised support is fantastic for rebuilding self-belief.
Do you only offer help for school subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get started with coding in Python, or even learn a new language. There's a tutor for almost any interest.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths directly with your chosen tutor.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for a tutor, send them a message to arrange a time that works for you, and book your first lesson. Many tutors can be available within a day or two.
What if we need to cancel a lesson?
We understand that life happens! You can cancel or reschedule a lesson for free, as long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice. You can manage all your bookings easily from your Tutorful account.
