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.

Nikolaus T
Lovely tutor, very helpful and concise with the additional support, as well as making sure I was confident on the topics we discussed. Very interactive and informative with making sure my thesis and essay writing structure was at a highest level it could be, gave me a really good insight into top band essay skills that I will be using from now on!!

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

I would highly recommend Lee. He has supported my son in increasing his understanding of GCSE poetry, personalising each lesson to meet his needs and gives timely feedback after each lesson. My son is making great progress and I have seen increased confidence since he has started.

Anita S
Anita really helps me with English - especially by going through the mark scheme in greater detail than in class, which is really useful when it comes to improving my essays. She also has helped with improving my analysis, providing me with stronger context and helping me add depth to it. I really recommend her as she is great!

Cerise S
Cerise has been such a lovely and supportive English tutor for Eisa. She really helped him find structure and confidence in his lessons and I could see the difference in how he approached his reading and writing. She always came well prepared with materials and gave clear guidance on what to work on..for example, getting him to read A Christmas Carol and pick out key quotes and themes to discuss together.
Eisa really enjoyed her lessons and found her teaching style easy to follow. She’s been patient, encouraging and genuinely invested in his progress. We’ve really appreciated all her help!

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.

My child is preparing for the Transfer Test. Can I find a tutor with experience in this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children in Northern Ireland prepare for the Transfer Test. You can check their profiles for this expertise and even message them beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs, like improving their comprehension skills.
We're hoping for a place at a school like Aquinas or Methodist College. Can a tutor help with that specific goal?
Yes, they can. While we can't guarantee a place, a tutor can provide targeted support to help your child perform their very best. They can focus on strengthening the exact English skills needed for the entrance exams, building your child's confidence and technique for the big day.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. Finding the right personality match is just as important as their experience.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. You can filter your search by price to find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity and background check, before they can start teaching. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
What happens if we don't click with the first 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 does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is custom-built for one-to-one learning. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor creates a supportive, patient environment where your child feels comfortable asking questions. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief, step by step.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
How long are the lessons?
Lessons are typically one hour long, but you can arrange different session lengths directly with your tutor. It's flexible to fit what works best for your child's concentration and your family's schedule.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are simple and secure. You add your card details to your account, and we process the payment automatically 24 hours after each lesson is completed. You'll never need to handle cash or worry about remembering to pay.
What is your review rating?
We're proud to have a rating of 4.6 stars from over 4,100+ reviews from parents just like you. It's wonderful to see how we've helped over 200,000 happy students find the support they need.
