Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Matthew has been teaching my son since September and he absolutely enjoys the lessons. He explains writing in a way my son can understand, and we’ve already seen a boost in his confidence.
Really friendly, patient, and supportive — we’re very happy with the progress so far. Highly recommend!

Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

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.

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.
