Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

My son had a few English GCSE lessons with Ian now and he’s been great. He explains things clearly, is very patient, and always gives helpful feedback. He even stays a bit longer sometimes to finish the lesson properly. Really appreciate his support! Joanna

Megan G
Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning. Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching. I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

We're preparing for the Transfer Test for schools like Lumen Christi and Foyle College. Can a tutor help?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ and Transfer Tests. They can focus on key areas like reading comprehension, grammar, and written expression to help your child feel confident and prepared for the exam.

My teenager is aiming for Ulster University or Queen's Belfast. How can an English tutor support their A-Levels?

A-Level English requires deep analytical skills. A tutor can provide one-to-one support, helping your child dissect complex texts, structure compelling essays, and refine their arguments. This focused guidance can be invaluable for securing the top grades needed for competitive university courses.

What if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure it's the perfect match for your child. 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can view each tutor's profile, where they share their experience, qualifications, and teaching style. Many have introductory videos to give you a feel for their personality. You can also message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs.

My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help?

Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Our tutors create a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. By celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics, they help rebuild self-belief.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £15 to £35 per hour. You can filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.

How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must go through a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

How do the online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a shared whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. It’s a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your own home.

Is Tutorful only for academic subjects like English?

Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects from primary level to degree, we also have experts who can teach practical skills and hobbies. Your child could learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language.

How often should my child have a lesson?

This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Many families start with one session a week, but you can arrange lessons as frequently as you need. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.

How will I know if my child is making progress?

Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child’s development. Because the lessons are one-to-one, you'll also likely see a direct improvement in their confidence, their understanding of topics discussed in class, and their homework.

What equipment do we need for online tutoring?

All you need is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no software to install.
