Supportive and Structured English Tutor
Hello and welcome! My name is Raquel and I look forward to meeting you soon. In the meantime, allow me to share with you why I choose to tutor: Mixed memories of middle school and college spring to mind. Excitement bubbling up to return to school after a fun and well spend summer holiday with family and friends. What formed part of the anticipation was the sense of being ready. Ready to sit in class with fellow classmates, ready to take home homework, planning and organising assignments.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to Cowes Enterprise College. Can a tutor tailor lessons to their specific GCSE English course?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced with all major exam boards and can create a learning plan that directly supports the curriculum and texts your child is studying at Cowes Enterprise College, helping them feel prepared and confident for their specific exams.
We want to ensure our child has the best chance for A-Levels at Isle of Wight College or a good mainland university. How can a tutor help?
A tutor can make a significant difference. By focusing on achieving a high GCSE grade, they help secure your child's place on their desired A-Level courses. They also build foundational skills in critical thinking and essay writing that are essential for success at university and beyond.
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 needs – whether they need someone patient and encouraging or someone who can challenge them with advanced concepts.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have a 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 you make sure your tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
My child has lost confidence in English. Can a tutor really help with that?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a supportive, pressure-free space, your child can ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. A tutor can break down difficult topics and celebrate small wins, rebuilding their self-belief one step at a time.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from a top tutor, no matter where you are.
Is Tutorful just for school subjects, or could my child also learn a hobby like creative writing or playing the guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academics like English and Maths, your child can explore passions like learning an instrument, coding, a new language, or even public speaking. It's a great way to support their all-round development.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is ideal for making consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent sessions during exam periods or school holidays, whatever works best for your child.
How effective is online tutoring compared to in-person?
Online tutoring is highly effective and offers more flexibility. It gives you access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those nearby. With our purpose-built online classroom, lessons are just as engaging and productive as meeting in person.
How quickly can we get started with a tutor?
You can get started very quickly. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you could have your first lesson booked within 24 hours. It's that easy to get your child the support they need.
