Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Holly E
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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for Gloucestershire schools like Pate's or Marling. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping children prepare for the 11+ exam, including the verbal reasoning and comprehension sections. You can view their profiles, check their specific experience, and message them to discuss your child's needs before booking.
We're thinking ahead to Cirencester College. Can a tutor help with the step up to GCSE English?
Yes. A tutor can be a brilliant source of support for the transition to GCSEs. They can help your child build a strong foundation in analysing texts, structuring essays, and mastering grammar, giving them the confidence they need to aim for top grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Finding the right fit is key. You can filter tutors by their experience and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals. It's all about finding an expert your child feels comfortable with.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. The price is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. A tutor can break down difficult topics and celebrate small wins, which makes a huge difference to their self-belief.
What qualifications do your tutors have?
Our tutors come from a wide range of professional and academic backgrounds, from experienced teachers to university-level experts. We personally interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, ensuring your child learns from the best. All tutors are also background-checked.
How long is a typical lesson?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session per week works best for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You might want more lessons in the run-up to an exam, or fewer during school holidays. You can discuss and agree a schedule directly with your tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we are experts in academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have talented tutors who teach a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
What if our schedule changes and we need to cancel a lesson?
We understand that life can be unpredictable. Our cancellation policy is designed to be fair to both families and tutors. You can cancel or reschedule a lesson for free with at least 12 hours' notice given to your tutor.
