Flora is an outstanding teacher. When your kid comes out of an English session saying, “That was so much fun,” you know you’ve found a tutor who knows their stuff and knows how to truly engage their student.
Our daughter was already high-achieving in other academic areas but her written work needed some support. The purpose of English tutoring was to keep her engaged while continuing to work towards top grades. Flora does this brilliantly. She tailors each lesson to the student’s needs and explains both structure and content with exceptional clarity.
We’ve been so impressed that we’ve also signed our son up for lessons. I would highly recommend Flora, especially for students who need to be stretched while still enjoying learning.

John M
John has been an excellent English IGCSE tutor. He is very organised, enthusiastic and communicates clearly. He quickly built a strong rapport with my daughter, putting her at ease, and she is really enjoying the lessons and getting a lot out of them. John is helping her to build confidence, structure exam answers and prepare effectively for revision, and I feel the tutoring will be very beneficial in the run-up to her exams.

Ben D
Ben has been a great tutor for my 16 year old doing his English GCSEs. Ben's tuition has improved my son's grade from a 4 up to between a 5-8, depending on the topic, in just a few months. He has also hugely improved his confidence, and his writing ability in other subjects such as History has improved as well. Ben has a relaxed, respectful and friendly approach that my son has really gotten on with, and he is enjoying feeling more confident for his English Language and Literature exams this year. I highly recommend Ben for your child's tuition.

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for the Wandsworth Test?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ and local entrance exams like the Wandsworth Test. They can focus on building the crucial comprehension, vocabulary, and creative writing skills your child will need to feel confident on the day.
We're aiming for a grammar school in Sutton or Kingston. Can we find a specialist tutor?
Yes. You can filter our tutors by their experience with grammar school entrance exams. Many have a fantastic track record of helping children secure places at competitive schools in and around London, and they understand exactly what the examiners are looking for.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to read tutor profiles, check their experience, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality. You can message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs, whether that's help with GCSE poetry or preparation for the 11+. Finding someone your child connects with is key.
How do online lessons actually work?
It's simple and secure. Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child can work through exam papers, analyse texts, and get instant feedback, all from the comfort of your home.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
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 celebrate small wins and break down tricky topics, which helps your child see that they *can* do it, building their self-esteem along the way.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set a budget that works for you. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find fantastic support that fits your family's finances.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE English texts, like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Definitely. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum. They can work with your child on specific texts, helping them analyse key quotes, understand themes, and structure essays in a way that will earn them top marks.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have amazing tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support for hobbies and personal development. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get help with coding, or even learn a new language.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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 long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The biggest difference comes from consistent, weekly lessons where the tutor can build momentum and really target your child's areas for improvement.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most sessions are one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time for your child to get focused, make real progress, and not feel overwhelmed. You can discuss the ideal session length directly with your chosen tutor.
