Fun and proactive English tutor
I have been a tutor for well over a year and have helped over 5 students improve their grades both in GCSEs and A Levels, and have also tutored kids in primary school to prepare for the 11+. I predominantly focus on improving exam technique as this is often disregarded in schools, and yet it is central to gaining good grades in exams. I mainly use past papers in my lessons, to ensure that what we’re doing is absolutely relevant to you. I also use exam board specific marking criteria/ mark schemes alongside the past papers because these are what you examiners will use to mark your exams, so having a...

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 wants to study A-Levels at a college in Buxton or Macclesfield. Can a tutor help them achieve the top GCSE grades needed?
Absolutely. This is a very common goal for parents we work with. Our tutors are experienced in helping students move beyond a standard pass to achieve the top grades (7-9) needed for competitive A-Level courses. They can focus specifically on the syllabus and exam techniques that will help your child stand out.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Manchester or Sheffield. How can English tutoring support this long-term goal?
A strong GCSE English grade is a crucial building block for a successful university application. It demonstrates analytical and communication skills that are vital for degree-level study. By helping your child secure a top grade now, you're strengthening their academic profile for future applications to respected universities like Manchester and Sheffield.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask questions before booking. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, who has specific experience in the area you need help with, such as GCSE exam preparation.
Are your tutors qualified to teach GCSE English?
Yes. Many of our English tutors are qualified teachers, examiners, or subject-matter experts with degrees in English. You can view each tutor's full qualifications and experience on their profile to find the perfect fit for your child's GCSE needs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but typically range from £25 to £45 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can see the price clearly on every tutor's profile with no hidden costs.
How are your tutors vetted?
We take safety and quality very seriously. Every tutor is interviewed, has their ID and qualifications checked, and must provide a valid DBS background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child's confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to learning. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of being judged by their classmates. This personal support and positive reinforcement from a tutor can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at a different pace, but the one-to-one focus of tutoring means progress can happen quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
Do you offer tutoring for other subjects or just core academic ones?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So whether your child needs help with Maths and Science, wants to learn a language like Spanish, or is interested in skills like coding or playing the guitar, we have expert tutors who can help.
What happens in a typical one-hour English lesson?
A typical lesson is tailored to your child's needs. It might start with a quick review of the last session, then move on to a specific topic, like analysing a poem or planning an essay. The tutor will use the interactive whiteboard to work through examples and ensure your child fully understands before moving on.
