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 is preparing for entrance exams for schools near Dorking. Can we find a specialist tutor?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ and common entrance exam preparation. You can filter your search for tutors with this specific experience and read reviews from other parents. It’s a great way to give your child focused support for local grammar or independent school applications.
My child attends a school in the Dorking area. Can a tutor tailor lessons to their specific coursework?
Yes, that's one of the main benefits of one-to-one tutoring. You can share your child's curriculum or specific areas of study with the tutor. They can then tailor lessons to support what your child is learning in school, whether that's helping with homework, preparing for a test, or going over a topic they found tricky in class.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
We make it simple. You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications and experience on their profile. You can also send a message to a tutor before booking to ask questions and make sure they're a good match for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the right fit for your child. 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 hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and the level of study, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
My child's confidence in English is low. How can a tutor help?
Building confidence is at the heart of what we do. A tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, tutors help children see that they *can* understand English, which makes a huge difference to their self-belief.
How do you check your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor must pass an identity check and have a valid DBS background check. We also interview them to ensure they have the right teaching skills and passion for their subject. We're very selective – only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted.
How do online lessons work? What do we need?
It's simple! All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space to share documents. It's designed to be engaging and easy to use.
Do you only offer academic English, or can my child get help with creative writing?
We offer support for a wide range of skills. While many students focus on the school curriculum, our English tutors can also help your child explore their passion for creative writing, build confidence with public speaking, or even prepare for a debating competition. Just search for what you're looking for.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson a week, as this provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more lessons leading up to an exam, or less frequent sessions for general support. You can discuss what's best with your child's tutor.
What happens in the first tutoring session?
The first session is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about what they enjoy, what they find difficult in English, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed way to build a connection and create a plan for future lessons.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
You can stay involved every step of the way. Tutors provide feedback after each session, and you can message them anytime through the platform. Many parents tell us the biggest sign of progress is seeing their child's confidence grow and their attitude towards English become more positive.
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.
