Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is in a Welsh-medium school. Can a tutor specifically help them prepare for their English GCSEs?
Absolutely. This is a common reason parents in Cross Hands come to us. Our tutors are experienced in identifying and strengthening the specific areas your child needs to excel in their English Language and Literature exams, ensuring their Welsh-medium education is complemented by top-tier English skills.
We're hoping my child will apply to Swansea or Cardiff University. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes. Our English tutors can help your child develop the high level of academic English needed for competitive university courses. They can work on everything from advanced essay writing and critical analysis to building the confidence to articulate complex ideas – skills that are vital for university applications and study.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and teaching style. Many tutors have introductory videos to give you a feel for their personality, and you can read reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs.
Are the tutors familiar with the WJEC curriculum used in Wales?
Many of our tutors have experience with the WJEC curriculum. You can check their individual profiles for details on the exam boards they specialise in, or you can use our filters to find tutors with specific WJEC experience to ensure the lessons are perfectly aligned with what your child is learning at school.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked, and we personally interview each one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's price per hour clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for drawing diagrams and solving problems, and a space to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from home.
How can tutoring help my child's confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to learning. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. A great tutor celebrates small wins and helps your child see their own progress, which can make a huge difference to their self-esteem.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the one-to-one focus of tutoring means progress can happen quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. Consistency is key, and your tutor will work with you to create a plan that works towards your child's goals.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have tutors for all core academic subjects, we also believe in learning for life! You can find tutors for a huge range of skills, from learning to play the guitar or speak a new language to coding in Python. There's something for everyone.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. You can easily manage your child's lessons through your Tutorful account. We have a 24-hour cancellation policy, so as long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can reschedule your lesson for a more convenient time without any charge.
