John H
Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the Gloucestershire 11+. Can I find a tutor with specific experience in this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are familiar with the specific requirements of the Gloucestershire exams. You can filter for tutors with this experience on their profiles and discuss your child's goals in a free introductory chat.
We're aiming for a top university like Bristol. Can a tutor help my child with their A-Level English and UCAS application?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors can provide expert support for A-Level English, helping your child master complex texts and essay skills. Many also have experience guiding students through the UCAS process, including crafting a compelling personal statement that stands out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter by experience. We recommend using the free chat function to message a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It’s all about finding the right personality fit for your child.
How much does online English tuition cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study, so you can find an excellent, affordable tutor who fits your family's budget.
My child's confidence in English is low. Can a tutor help with that?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. A one-to-one setting provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. Celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics into manageable steps can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
How can a tutor help my child improve their GCSE English grade?
Our tutors provide focused support on the specific areas your child finds challenging, whether it's analysing 'Macbeth' or mastering punctuation for their Language paper. This personalised approach can make a real impact – it can even help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which features a shared whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might work through a practice paper with your child, help them plan an essay, or use interactive exercises to explain a tricky grammar point. Each session is tailored to your child's learning goals for that day.
How do you ensure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict selection process, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted. Every tutor is interviewed by our team and must pass a background check before they can teach on the platform.
What if my child doesn't get on with their 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.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! As well as core subjects like English and Maths, you can find expert tutors for music (like guitar or piano), languages, coding, and even skills like public speaking.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which we find works best for maintaining focus and making real progress. However, you can always discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration.
How can I track my child's progress?
We encourage open communication. You can message your child's tutor at any time to ask for an update. Tutors will often provide feedback after each session, and you can work together to ensure your child is on track to meet their goals.
