Megan G
Megan is a wonderful tutor!
My son has really enjoyed the sessions with her and she adapts them to ensure he is fully understanding the teaching.
Megan provides an overview of feedback after to each session which allows me to understand what she has covered in the session and how to future support my son.
I cannot recommend her enough!!

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

I just wanted to send you a heartfelt thank-you for the English lessons you gave my son. After only three sessions with you, he managed to pass — and we couldn’t be happier! He really enjoyed your lessons and said you made everything easy to understand and enjoyable.I truly appreciate the time, patience, and encouragement you gave him. It’s made a huge difference to his confidence and attitude toward English. Thanks again for all your help — we’re both very grateful!

Amazing tutor! I went from a weak grade 3 in English Language to being just one mark off a 6. Lessons were clear, supportive, and really boosted my confidence. I couldn’t have done it without their help and would 100% recommend.

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a Buckinghamshire grammar school. Can I find a tutor with 11+ experience?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have a deep understanding of what's required for the Buckinghamshire grammar school entrance exams. You can filter your search for tutors with specific 11+ experience and read reviews from other parents to find the perfect match for your child.
My child is worried about the English part of the 11+ exam. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is a very common concern and our tutors are here to help. They can provide a calm and encouraging environment to tackle tricky areas like comprehension, vocabulary, and creative writing. By working at your child's pace, a tutor can help turn that anxiety into confidence.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the best fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check a tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to ensure you find someone you're both comfortable with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. 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 can I be sure the tutors are safe for my child to work with?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has been interviewed by our team and has passed a background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
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 with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. There are no hidden fees, so you only pay for the lessons you book.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Often, a lack of confidence comes from not wanting to ask questions in a busy classroom. One-to-one tutoring provides a safe space for your child to ask anything without fear of judgement. This personalised attention and positive reinforcement can make a huge difference to their self-esteem.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
The tutor will tailor each session to your child's needs. It might involve working through specific homework problems, practising exam techniques for the 11+, analysing a poem together on the interactive whiteboard, or focusing on grammar and punctuation rules. It's all about what will help your child the most.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's English?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our experience shows that consistent, weekly lessons lead to the best results. The one-to-one focus allows tutors to make progress much faster than in a group setting, which is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have tutors for all core academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have experts who can teach practical and creative skills. You can find tutors for everything from learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are handled securely and simply through the platform. You add your payment details to your account, and you're only charged 24 hours after each lesson is completed. You'll never need to handle cash or make direct bank transfers.
