It’s a partnership designed to help them tackle tricky topics, feel prepared for their exams, and rediscover a love for the subject.

Strong English Skills: From the Transfer Test to University
A solid grasp of English is the key that unlocks so many doors for your child. It starts with building the comprehension and writing skills needed to walk into the AQE or GL exams with confidence. But it goes far beyond that. These skills are essential for analysing quotes in 'Macbeth' at GCSE, crafting compelling essays at A-Level, and ultimately, putting together a strong application for a competitive degree at a university like Queen's University Belfast.

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
Can a tutor help my child prepare for the AQE/GL Transfer Test for schools like Bangor Grammar?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children in Northern Ireland prepare for the Transfer Test. They can build a tailored plan focusing on the comprehension, grammar, and writing skills your child needs to feel confident and prepared for the exam.
My child hopes to study at Queen's University Belfast. Can a tutor support them long-term?
Definitely. Our tutors can provide continuous support right through your child's school journey. They can help build a strong foundation for GCSE and A-Level English, helping your child secure the grades they need for competitive university courses.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child will respond to.
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 online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price to find a great tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden costs.
How do you make sure tutors are safe to work with children?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced background check before they can teach on our platform. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 to ensure the highest quality.
How can tutoring help if my child has lost their confidence?
Confidence is key. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-esteem and change their whole attitude towards English.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your own home.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is different because it's tailored to your child. A tutor might spend the time working through past Transfer Test papers, practising creative writing techniques, or breaking down a tricky poem for a school assignment. The focus is always on what your child needs most at that moment.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set rule. Some parents use tutoring for a short-term boost before an exam, while others prefer weekly lessons to provide consistent support throughout the school year. You can discuss your child's goals with your tutor to decide on the best approach together.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects! Alongside core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can find expert tutors for music, languages, and even practical skills like coding. It's a great way to support your child's hobbies and interests too.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. One of the great benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the direct feedback. Your tutor will keep you updated on your child's progress, and you can always message them to discuss how things are going and what the plan is for upcoming lessons.
