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
My child wants to study at Dereham Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them secure the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. This is a very common goal for parents we work with. Our tutors can focus specifically on the skills needed to achieve a grade 6 or higher in GCSE English, helping to open up your child's A-Level options and build a strong foundation for their studies at the college.
We're hoping for a place at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in the future. How can English tutoring help with that?
A strong command of English is vital for university applications and study. Our tutors can help your child develop the critical analysis and essay writing skills that universities like UEA look for. Building these skills early not only helps with their personal statement but also prepares them for the demands of degree-level work.
How do I find the right English tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors based on experience, price, and availability. It's a great idea to watch their introductory videos and read reviews from other parents. You can also message a few tutors for free to make sure they're a good fit before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is really important, and we want you to be completely happy. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just 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 prices, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence 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 too shy to ask in class. Tutors can break down tricky topics and celebrate small wins, which makes a huge difference to your child's self-belief.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and Python.
Can I see reviews from other parents?
Of course. Every tutor profile features reviews and ratings from other parents and students. It's a great way to get a feel for their teaching style. We're proud to have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 customer reviews on the platform.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic properly without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor if you need to – it's completely flexible.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first session is usually about getting to know your child. The tutor will chat with them about their goals, what they enjoy (and don't enjoy!) about English, and identify any areas where they need the most support. It's a relaxed way to build a plan for future lessons.
