Holly E
Holly has been a fantastic tutor for my daughter, Anissa. She is patient, encouraging and explains things in a clear and supportive way.
Since starting lessons with Holly, Anissa’s confidence has grown noticeably, and she feels much more comfortable and positive in her learning. She really enjoys the sessions and speaks very warmly about Holly — she genuinely loves learning with her.
We’ve been very pleased with the progress so far and would highly recommend Holly to other families looking for a caring and effective tutor.

John has been an excellent English IGCSE tutor. He is very organised, enthusiastic and communicates clearly. He quickly built a strong rapport with my daughter, putting her at ease, and she is really enjoying the lessons and getting a lot out of them. John is helping her to build confidence, structure exam answers and prepare effectively for revision, and I feel the tutoring will be very beneficial in the run-up to her exams.

Ben D
Ben has been a great tutor for my 16 year old doing his English GCSEs. Ben's tuition has improved my son's grade from a 4 up to between a 5-8, depending on the topic, in just a few months. He has also hugely improved his confidence, and his writing ability in other subjects such as History has improved as well. Ben has a relaxed, respectful and friendly approach that my son has really gotten on with, and he is enjoying feeling more confident for his English Language and Literature exams this year. I highly recommend Ben for your child's tuition.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to get into Sir John Deane's College. Can a tutor help them achieve the necessary GCSE English grades?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced in helping students aim for top grades (7-9) needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on strengthening essay writing, exam technique, and textual analysis to give your child the best possible chance of securing their place.
We live near Chester and are considering schools like The King's School. Can we find a tutor familiar with competitive entry standards?
Yes, you can. You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, including helping students with entrance exams and preparing for the high standards of leading independent schools. Many tutors specialise in this area and can create a tailored plan for your child.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking. We recommend finding someone whose teaching style and personality you think will click with your child.
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. All costs are clearly displayed on their profiles with no hidden fees.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often grows from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy to ask in class. As their tutor helps them grasp difficult concepts, you'll likely see their self-belief grow alongside their grades.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single UK-based tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and we've verified their ID. We take safeguarding very seriously.
What if we don't get on with our 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.
How do online lessons work?
They take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
How quickly can we expect to see progress?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored, one-to-one approach is designed to make a difference quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
Can we get help with both GCSE English Language and Literature?
Of course. Most English tutors are experts in both and can create a learning plan that covers everything your child needs, from analysing poetry in Literature to mastering persuasive writing for Language.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we're well known for academic subjects, we offer tutoring in a huge range of skills! You can find expert tutors for everything from learning Python and Spanish to mastering the piano or music theory.
Why should I choose Tutorful?
We're trusted by thousands of families across the UK, with a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. By connecting you with the UK's best tutors, we help you find the expert support that's just right for your child.
