Gearoid C
Gearoid supported my son with GCSE English during a key transition period in Year 11. My son had moved schools and was adjusting to a different GCSE specification, which had left noticeable gaps in his knowledge. Gearoid helped him bridge those gaps methodically and clarified the expectations of the exam board.
From the very first session, there was a shift in confidence. My son came out saying, “So I’m not stupid.” Over time, that developed into him saying he “felt clever.” For a student who can struggle with processing speed and exam anxiety, this was a significant and meaningful change.
Gearoid is calm, professional and thoughtful in his approach. He communicates clearly, is reliable, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. I am grateful for the role he played in rebuilding both understanding and belief.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're preparing for the 11+ for grammar schools in Sutton and Kingston. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can help your child build confidence in key areas like comprehension and creative writing, as well as develop effective exam techniques to help them feel ready and calm on the day.
My child attends a local Colliers Wood school. Can a tutor help them get ahead?
Yes. A personal tutor can work alongside your child's schoolwork to reinforce what they're learning in class. They can help fill any knowledge gaps, challenge your child in areas where they excel, and build a solid foundation for achieving top grades at GCSE and beyond.
What if my child doesn't click with their 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 could my child learn something like creative writing as a hobby?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all core academic areas, we also have brilliant tutors who can help your child explore a passion, like learning guitar, coding in Python, or developing their creative writing skills just for the fun of it.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals – whether it's for the 11+ or GCSEs – to find the perfect match for their personality and learning needs.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This means you can find an excellent, affordable tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden fees.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and all of them must have a valid DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's work?
Every child learns at their own pace, but regular, focused sessions can make a big difference quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few lessons. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is ideal for consistent progress without feeling overwhelming. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
Can tutoring help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Definitely. For many children, confidence is the biggest barrier to success. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement, helping them to believe in their own abilities. This boost in self-esteem often has a positive impact on all their subjects.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is different because it's tailored to your child. A session might focus on planning a GCSE essay, practising comprehension questions for an upcoming test, or working on spelling and grammar. Your tutor will focus on the areas where your child needs the most support to make real progress.
