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.

Josh L
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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for Dr Challoner's. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping students prepare for the 11+ entrance exams, including the verbal reasoning and comprehension skills needed for local grammar schools. You can view each tutor's profile to see their areas of expertise and even message them to ask about their experience.
We're aiming for top GCSE grades (7-9) at The Misbourne. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. A dedicated English tutor can provide the focused support needed to push for those top grades. They can help your child master complex texts, refine their essay writing, and perfect their exam technique. We find our support can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to two grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed profiles, check qualifications, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their short intro video to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ensure they're the perfect match for your child.
How much does an English tutor in Chalfont St Giles cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £20 to £50 depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your family's budget.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID and qualifications verified. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
Can a tutor help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
Yes, this is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child’s confidence and reignite their interest in the subject.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. A tutor might work through a practice paper, analyse a poem together on the whiteboard, or help plan an essay in real-time. It’s a live, collaborative, and engaging experience.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent lessons in the run-up to an important exam, or less frequent sessions for general support. You can discuss what's best with your chosen tutor.
How effective is online tutoring?
Online tutoring is incredibly effective. It allows your child to learn from the comfort of home, saving you travel time, and gives you access to a wider choice of expert tutors from across the UK. With our purpose-built online classroom, lessons are just as interactive and personal as being in the same room.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for modern languages, musical instruments like guitar, and even practical skills like coding.
What kind of results can we expect?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our goal is always to help them achieve their best. We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and many see a huge boost in their confidence and enjoyment of a subject, which is just as important.
