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

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
We're aiming for a grammar school in Tunbridge Wells. Can I find a tutor with Kent Test 11+ experience?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are very familiar with the format of the Kent Test. You can check their profiles for specific experience and message them before booking to discuss your child's goals for grammar school entrance.
My child finds English comprehension tricky. Is this something a tutor can help with for the 11+?
Yes, this is a very common area where tutors can provide support. A one-to-one tutor can work with your child on specific comprehension techniques, from understanding complex texts to building their vocabulary, giving them the tools and confidence they need for their exams.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications on their profile. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their experience. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable with, and with over 4,100+ customer reviews giving us 4.6 stars, you're in safe hands.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £45 per hour. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one attention is a huge confidence booster. When a tutor focuses solely on your child, they can praise their efforts, gently correct mistakes, and celebrate their progress. This personalised support helps them feel more capable and less anxious about their schoolwork.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a background check and we verify their ID. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents. It’s a safe and engaging space for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour a week works well, but it's completely up to you and your child's needs. You can discuss what's best with your chosen tutor. There are no contracts, so you can book lessons as and when you need them.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! While we have experts in core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for music, languages, coding, and even skills like public speaking.
Can tutoring help with more than just exams?
Definitely. While many parents come to us for exam support, tutoring is also fantastic for building a deeper understanding of a subject, sparking a new interest, or helping a child who has fallen slightly behind to catch up and feel confident in class again.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to ask questions or discuss how things are going. The goal is to work together to support your child's learning journey.
