Roberto F
Dedicated English tutor
I am a determined person with an always positive attitude towards working. I enjoy working with other people as well as helping them to achieve their goals- for example, I always peer assess my colleagues essays before they submit them. I am seriously thinking about embarking upon a masters in either TESOL or archives and records management before qualifying to become either a teacher of English to foreign speakers or an archivist- both careers interest me greatly. Furthermore, I have recently completed a nine month placement in central France teaching English to primary school children aged 4-11,...

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to get into a competitive sixth form in Loughborough. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the specific GCSE grades needed for entry into popular sixth forms. They can focus on exam technique and curriculum areas to build your child's confidence and help them meet the entry requirements.
We're hoping for a top university like Nottingham or Loughborough. How does GCSE English tutoring help with that?
A strong GCSE English grade is often a prerequisite for top A-Level courses, which in turn are required for entry into highly-regarded universities like Nottingham and Loughborough. By securing a great grade now, your child keeps their options open for the future and develops the analytical skills they'll need to succeed.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is essential for building confidence. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, 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 and experience on their profile. You can also message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and ensure they're a good fit.
How much does an English tutor in Castle Donington cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
One-to-one tutoring is fantastic for building confidence. A tutor can create a safe, encouraging space where your child feels comfortable asking questions. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they can help your child rediscover their enjoyment for the subject.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has all the tools your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our highest priority. All of our tutors have been through a thorough vetting process, which includes an identity check and a background check (DBS or equivalent).
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the English curriculum, like Shakespeare or poetry?
Definitely. Tutors can create lessons focused on exactly what your child needs help with. Whether it's understanding the language in 'Macbeth', analysing unseen poetry, or improving their creative writing, the lessons are completely tailored to them.
Do you only offer help with core academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas! You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and Python.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions 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 discuss different session lengths with your chosen tutor.
How quickly can we get started?
You can find and book a tutor very quickly. Many tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Just find a tutor you like, send them a message, and arrange your first session at a time that works for you.
