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.

asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Dartmouth and are aiming for a grammar school like Churston Ferrers. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They have extensive experience with the specific demands of the exam, from comprehension and creative writing to verbal reasoning, and can create a tailored plan to help your child feel prepared and confident.
My child hopes to study at the University of Exeter. Can a tutor help them achieve the necessary A-Level English grades?
Definitely. Our A-Level English tutors are experts in their field and can provide the in-depth subject knowledge needed to tackle complex texts and achieve top grades. They can help your child hone their analytical and essay-writing skills to meet the entry requirements for competitive universities.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications and experience. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a session to ensure you find the perfect match.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can filter your search by price to find an experienced tutor who fits your budget.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are ID and background-checked. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted onto our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
My child lacks confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
Confidence is key to learning. In a one-to-one setting, tutors create a positive and encouraging environment where your child feels safe to ask questions. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help build your child's self-belief step by step.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.

Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed for progress. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. We encourage open communication between parents and tutors. You can message your child's tutor at any time to ask for updates on their progress and discuss the focus of upcoming lessons.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
A lesson is tailored to your child's needs. It might start with a quick review of the previous topic, then move onto a new concept, such as analysing a poem or planning an essay. The tutor will use the interactive whiteboard to work through examples and ensure your child understands before moving on.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a wide range of other skills. Your child can learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language. There's a tutor for almost any interest!
