Janan is such a great tutor! She explains things really well and is able to fully break down areas I struggle with in English and make it easy to follow. She is also very personable and creates an easy atmosphere and is very understanding when I am behind in assignments for her, having a very dedicated work ethic, making up for what I lack. She creates a very welcoming environment and I genuinely do enjoy our lessons. Also she has helped direct me towards revision strategy’s as well so I do feel I have improved too in that areas and in English in general too. Would strongly recommend!

Frances H
Frances has been helping my daughter with English and SPaG in preparation for her SATs and after just a few sessions, I’ve seen a difference. She sets weekly homework, takes a genuine interest in my daughter’s week and makes learning fun by playing games like hangman to aid spelling. My daughter is engaged and is starting to really grasp the content. Frances is patient, encouraging and explains things clearly, which has already boosted my daughter’s confidence.

Alexander A
We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

Mamun A
My son has just started with Mamun, so far I am very happy. At first, my son was finding it a bit difficult to understand him, but when I expected it to Mamun he was very nice about it, and he did exactly what I wanted.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
We're aiming for a grammar school like Sullivan Upper or Regent House. Can a tutor help with the Transfer Test?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in preparing children for the Transfer Test. They can help your child build confidence with comprehension, grammar, and writing skills, focusing on the specific requirements of the test to give them the best possible chance of success.
My child is older, but can a tutor help them prepare for applying to Queen's University Belfast?
Yes, our tutors can provide fantastic support for older students. They can help with everything from A-Level English literature and language to perfecting the personal statement needed for a competitive course at Queen's University Belfast, ensuring their application is as strong as it can be.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Think about your child's personality and learning style – a great tutor is someone they can build a real rapport with.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £15 to £40 per hour depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
Are your tutors qualified and background checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are ID and background checked. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the boost in confidence it gives a child. Having a supportive expert dedicated to helping them understand a topic can make them feel much more positive about their abilities in the classroom.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's English?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach means you can see progress quickly. Many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their passions.
What age groups do you cater for?
We have tutors who specialise in teaching all age groups, from primary school and 11+ preparation right through to GCSE, A-Level, university degree level, and adult learners. You can filter your search to find a tutor with the right experience for your child's age.
How are payments handled?
Payments are simple and secure. Once your lesson is complete, your payment is processed automatically through the card you have on your account. There's no need for cash, and you can easily track all your payments in your Tutorful dashboard.
