Holly E
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.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the Transfer Test for schools like Lumen Christi College. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children in Northern Ireland prepare for the Transfer Test. They can help build your child's confidence in comprehension, grammar, and writing skills to help them feel ready for the big day.
We want a strong GCSE English grade for applications to Ulster University. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. A strong GCSE in English is vital for so many university courses. Our tutors can provide targeted support on everything from analysing set texts to improving essay technique, helping your child secure the grades they need for their future.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child clicks with.
How much do online English tutors cost in Derry?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find an excellent tutor who fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, 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.
Are your 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 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform, so you can feel completely secure.
What if my child feels anxious or lacks confidence in English?
This is one of the main reasons parents come to us. One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, patient, and encouraging environment where your child can learn at their own pace without the pressure of a classroom. Our tutors are brilliant at building confidence.
What if we don't get on with our first choice of tutor?
We have a First Lesson Guarantee to ensure you find the perfect match. 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 long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths directly with your chosen tutor.
How quickly can we get started?
You can start very quickly. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time that works for you, and you could have your first lesson booked within 24 hours.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects and skills, not just core academic ones. Whether your child wants to learn a new language, master the guitar, or get ahead with coding, you can find an expert tutor to help them pursue their passion.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are handled securely and simply through the Tutorful platform. Once a lesson is complete, your payment is automatically processed, so there's no need to worry about cash or awkward conversations.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
