John has been an excellent English IGCSE tutor. He is very organised, enthusiastic and communicates clearly. He quickly built a strong rapport with my daughter, putting her at ease, and she is really enjoying the lessons and getting a lot out of them. John is helping her to build confidence, structure exam answers and prepare effectively for revision, and I feel the tutoring will be very beneficial in the run-up to her exams.

Ben has been a great tutor for my 16 year old doing his English GCSEs. Ben's tuition has improved my son's grade from a 4 up to between a 5-8, depending on the topic, in just a few months. He has also hugely improved his confidence, and his writing ability in other subjects such as History has improved as well. Ben has a relaxed, respectful and friendly approach that my son has really gotten on with, and he is enjoying feeling more confident for his English Language and Literature exams this year.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends a competitive school in Crosby. Can a tutor help them aim for top grades?
Absolutely. Many parents in Crosby come to us for this exact reason. Our tutors are experienced in helping students excel in demanding academic environments. They can tailor sessions to help your child master the specific skills needed to achieve those top 7-9 grades at GCSE.
We're hoping for a place at a Russell Group university like the University of Liverpool. Can a tutor help?
Yes. Securing a place at a top university starts with a strong academic foundation. An English tutor can help your child develop the critical thinking and sophisticated essay-writing skills that Russell Group universities look for, strengthening their profile for their future applications.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their short introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has been personally interviewed by our team. We're very selective – we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a microphone and camera, and a stable internet connection.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. A tutor can break down tricky topics, celebrate small wins, and show them what they're truly capable of.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You'll find a range of options to suit different budgets, and the price is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit for your child. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. It's that simple.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. We know our methods work – 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.
Can a tutor help with specific exam boards like AQA or Edexcel?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors have experience with all major UK exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, and OCR. You can check a tutor's profile or message them directly to confirm they cover the specific exam board your child is studying for.
What's the difference between English Language and English Literature tutoring?
English Language focuses on how language is used to create meaning, including analysing non-fiction texts and creative writing. English Literature is about studying set texts like novels, plays, and poetry. Many of our tutors are experts in both and can help your child with whichever they find more challenging.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something like music or coding?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English and Maths, we believe learning is for life! We also offer expert tutors in everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and foreign languages.
