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 needs specific English grades for Gloucestershire College. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and know exactly what's needed for A-Level entry. They can work with your child on the specific areas they need to improve, helping them build the skills and confidence to secure the grades they need for their chosen courses.
We're aiming for a competitive university like Bristol or Cardiff. Can a tutor prepare my child for that level?
Yes, we have many tutors with experience helping students prepare for applications to top universities. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and writing skills that admissions tutors look for, ensuring their English abilities stand out and support their application.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know how important the right fit 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.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we're experts in core subjects like English and Maths, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! From learning to code in Python to mastering the guitar or learning a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help your child explore their passions.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications on their profile. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their experience and approach to make sure they're the perfect match for your child's needs.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How do the online lessons actually work?
It's simple! All lessons happen in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child just needs a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection. It’s a secure and engaging way to learn from home.
Are the tutors background-checked and safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID and qualifications verified. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
Can tutoring really help my child's confidence?
It's one of the biggest benefits we see. In a one-to-one lesson, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor celebrates their small wins and helps them see their own progress, which makes a huge difference to how they feel about a subject.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are an hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths by discussing it directly with your chosen tutor.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find a one-hour lesson once a week works best, especially in the run-up to exams. But it’s completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that suits your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your tutor.
Can I find a tutor who specialises in my child's exam board, like AQA or Edexcel?
Yes, definitely. Tutors list their areas of expertise on their profiles, including the specific exam boards they have experience with. This means you can find someone who knows the curriculum and exam style inside out, giving your child targeted and effective support.
