Matthew B
Matthew has been teaching my son since September and he absolutely enjoys the lessons. He explains writing in a way my son can understand, and we’ve already seen a boost in his confidence.
Really friendly, patient, and supportive — we’re very happy with the progress so far. Highly recommend!

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for top A-Level courses at a competitive Guildford college. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure top GCSE grades (8s and 9s) needed for competitive sixth forms and colleges. They can focus on the specific exam board your child is studying, refine their exam technique, and build the deep subject knowledge required to stand out.
We're worried about the step up to a Russell Group university. Can tutoring help prepare my child?
Yes, definitely. Beyond just exam grades, our tutors help develop crucial independent thinking and analytical skills that are vital for university-level study. They can also provide guidance on crafting a compelling personal statement that showcases your child's passion for English.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents – we have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat so you can discuss your child's needs and see if it's a good match before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important, which is 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 online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every one to ensure they have the right experience and a passion for teaching. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one attention makes a huge difference. In a private setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor can break down difficult topics, like understanding Shakespearean language, and celebrate small wins, which helps your child feel more capable and less anxious about their abilities.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents and past papers. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This really depends on your child's goals. Many students have one session a week to stay on track, but you might choose more frequent lessons in the run-up to exams. It's completely flexible and you can discuss the best approach with your tutor.
Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?
Not at all. We operate on a pay-as-you-go basis, so you're not tied into any long-term commitments. You can book lessons week by week, giving you complete flexibility to fit tutoring around your family's needs.
Can tutoring really improve my child's GCSE grades?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. Our focused, one-to-one approach can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to two grades. It gives them the dedicated support they need to tackle their specific challenges and reach their full potential.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Alongside core academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, your child can learn everything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking a new language.
