Megan G
Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Hills Road Sixth Form. Can a tutor help them prepare?
Absolutely. Our tutors can focus specifically on developing the high-level analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve the grade 8s and 9s that make an application stand out. They can help your child build the confidence and technique required for such a competitive entry process.
Are your tutors familiar with the standards for Russell Group universities like Cambridge?
Yes, many of our tutors are graduates from top Russell Group universities themselves. They have first-hand experience of the academic standards required and can help your child develop the critical thinking skills that these institutions value so highly.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, with prices for English tutors typically starting from £20 per hour. You can easily filter by price to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics, like analysing poetry, into manageable steps, which helps build self-belief over time.
What if we don't get on with our first choice of tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child to collaborate with their tutor just as they would in person.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach gets results. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Consistent weekly lessons are the best way to help your child make clear and steady progress.
Can we get help with both GCSE English Language and English Literature?
Of course. Most of our English tutors are experts in both and can create a lesson plan that covers the specific requirements for each exam, from creative writing for Language to analysing themes in 'An Inspector Calls' for Literature.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
A session is shaped around your child's needs. It might start with reviewing a tricky piece of homework, then move on to practising a specific skill like structuring an essay, and end with setting goals for the next week. It's always interactive and focused.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're experts in academic subjects, we also have brilliant tutors for a whole range of skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or speak a new language, we have tutors who can help.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
