Highly experienced English and English tutor

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...

Alexander A
We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

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.

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.
