Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.

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.

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.
