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.

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.

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read reviews from other parents, check a tutor's experience, and watch their introductory video to get a feel for their personality. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat, which is a great way to see if they're the right fit for your child before booking a lesson.
My child is aiming for King Edward VI Grammar School (KEGS). Can a tutor help with 11+ English preparation?
Yes, absolutely. We have many experienced tutors who specialise in 11+ entrance exams, including those for specific grammar schools in the Chelmsford area. They can help your child build the core English and verbal reasoning skills needed and work on exam technique and confidence.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. The cost for each tutor is clearly displayed on their profile, so there are no hidden surprises.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is identity and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted.
My child has lost their confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is very common, and it's where one-to-one tutoring really shines. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at your child's pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-esteem and turn 'I can't do it' into 'I can'.
We live near Chelmsford. Can a tutor help with an English Literature degree at Anglia Ruskin University?
Yes. Many of our tutors are qualified to teach at a higher level, including university-level modules. You can find tutors with specific experience in literature, critical theory, and essay writing to support your child through their degree.
How does online tutoring work? What technology do we need?
It's simple! All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which has features like a shared whiteboard to make learning engaging and collaborative.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, get into coding, or practise a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help.
Can a tutor help my child specifically with their GCSE or A-Level English exams?
Definitely. Our tutors are experts in the curriculum and can provide targeted support for specific exam boards (like AQA or Edexcel). They can help your child understand mark schemes, perfect their exam technique, and revise key texts and topics to feel fully prepared.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss lesson length with your tutor to find what works best for your child's needs and concentration span.
How often should my child have an English lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is ideal for steady progress. This allows enough time to build on learning week-on-week. However, the schedule is completely flexible and you can arrange sessions with your tutor as and when you need them.
