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.

What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know how important the right connection is for learning. That's why we have a 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 I know the tutors are safe and qualified?

Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have experts for core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also offer tutoring in a wide range of other areas. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get help with coding, or even learn a new language. It’s all about supporting their passions and development.

You can find and message tutors straight away. Many tutors respond quickly, and you could have your child's first lesson booked within 24 hours. It's a fast and simple way to get them the support they need.
What happens if we need to cancel a lesson?
