Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're preparing for the 11-plus for schools like St Olave's or Newstead Wood. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11-plus and common entrance exam preparation. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in verbal reasoning, creative writing, and helping children prepare for the unique demands of grammar school entrance tests. You can even message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum for schools in Crofton?
While our tutors are based across the UK, they are all experts in the National Curriculum. Many have specific experience with the requirements of various school entrance exams, including those for selective schools in the South East. The beauty of one-to-one tutoring is that the tutor will tailor their approach to your child's specific schoolwork and learning goals.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Your peace of mind is our priority. We have a First Lesson Guarantee, which means 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?
It's a great question. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals. Finding someone with the right experience who your child gets along with is key to success.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but typically range from £25 to £50 per hour. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child can work through problems, analyse texts, and get instant feedback, all from the comfort of home.
How do I know my child is safe online?
Your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors must pass an enhanced background check before they can join the platform. We also record all lessons, which you can review at any time, providing complete transparency and peace of mind for you.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. A one-to-one lesson is a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Our tutors are experts at building confidence by celebrating small wins and breaking down difficult topics, which can make a huge difference to how your child feels about their learning.
How quickly will my child see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and enthusiasm for the subject.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have expert tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking a new language.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child's needs. A tutor might start by reviewing a recent piece of schoolwork, then move on to practising a specific skill like analysing poetry or structuring an essay. They'll use the interactive whiteboard to make learning engaging and ensure your child understands each concept before moving on.
