Emily S
Highly experienced English and English tutor
I am an experienced tutor with a patient and creative approach. In my 20 years working as a tutor I have found that encouraging a child’s confidence and creativity are invaluable in unlocking their potential and achieving to the best of their ability.

As such, I try to re-enforce my position as a tutor rather than a teacher, and look for innovative and fun ways to encourage pupils to learn. I read with all my younger pupils, regardless of the subject I am teaching, a...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at a competitive Caterham school. Can a tutor meet those high expectations?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aiming for top grades from highly academic schools. You can view their profiles, check their qualifications, and read reviews from other parents to find the perfect match for your child's specific needs.
We're aiming for a Russell Group university. Can a tutor help with the English skills needed for a strong application?
Yes. Our English tutors can help your child develop the advanced analytical and critical thinking skills that top universities look for. They can focus on essay writing, textual analysis, and building arguments that will make their application stand out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend reading tutor profiles, looking at their experience, and checking reviews from other parents. You can also send a message to a tutor before booking to discuss your child's goals and see if they are a good fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 much does an online English tutor in Caterham cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly shown on their profiles. This transparency means you can find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget.
How do online lessons work?
They take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child to work collaboratively with their tutor, just as they would in person.
Can tutoring really help my child's confidence?
Yes, it often makes a huge difference. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. This personalised attention and positive reinforcement can work wonders for their self-belief.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How can tutoring help my child improve their GCSE grade?
Our tutors focus on the specific areas your child finds challenging, helping them to close knowledge gaps and master exam technique. We know this works – 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long. This gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great way to build momentum and see steady progress. You can discuss what’s best for your child directly with your tutor based on their goals and your schedule.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we are experts in core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have brilliant tutors for a huge range of other skills. From learning to code in Python to playing the guitar or speaking Spanish, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
