Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

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.
We're aiming for a competitive school like St Paul's or Ibstock Place. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ and common entrance exam preparation. They can work with your child on the specific skills needed, such as advanced comprehension, creative writing, and exam technique, to help them feel confident and prepared.
My child is aiming for a top sixth form. Can a tutor help them secure the best GCSE English grades?
Definitely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve their target grades. They can provide focused support on the GCSE curriculum, from analysing 'Macbeth' to perfecting essay structure. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we can help improve GCSE results by up to two grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their introduction videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
My child really lacks confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
Confidence is key to learning. In a one-to-one setting, tutors can create a safe and encouraging space where your child feels comfortable asking questions. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help build your child's self-belief step by step.
What happens if we don't get on with our first choice of tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has had their ID and qualifications verified. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to ensure the highest quality and safety.
How can a tutor specifically help with creative writing?
Our tutors can help your child brainstorm ideas, structure compelling narratives, and develop their descriptive language. They can provide constructive feedback and teach techniques to make their writing more engaging, which is a key skill for both entrance exams and GCSEs.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that it's focused entirely on their needs. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts for everything from Maths and Science to the 11+, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get help with university applications, or even learn coding.
Can we get help for A-Level English too?
Yes. We have a wide range of tutors who are specialists in the A-Level English curriculum. They can provide in-depth support with complex texts, critical analysis, and the coursework components to help your child achieve the grades they need for university.
