Flora I
Flora is patient and takes the time to ensure my child understands concepts properly before moving on. She always comes well prepared, communicates effectively with my son, and explains things clearly. She also takes time to prepare homework assignments and resource materials to reinforce learning.
She’s easy to reach and is happy to chat with parents about progress and the ways we can support learning at home. My son enjoys her teaching and is happy to add one more lesson a week with Flora. I’d gladly recommend her to others looking for a solid tutor.

Gearoid C
Gearoid supported my son with GCSE English during a key transition period in Year 11. My son had moved schools and was adjusting to a different GCSE specification, which had left noticeable gaps in his knowledge. Gearoid helped him bridge those gaps methodically and clarified the expectations of the exam board.
From the very first session, there was a shift in confidence. My son came out saying, “So I’m not stupid.” Over time, that developed into him saying he “felt clever.” For a student who can struggle with processing speed and exam anxiety, this was a significant and meaningful change.
Gearoid is calm, professional and thoughtful in his approach. He communicates clearly, is reliable, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. I am grateful for the role he played in rebuilding both understanding and belief.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at East Leake Academy and feels the pressure. Can a tutor help them keep up?
Absolutely. This is a very common reason parents come to us. A tutor can provide personalised support that's paced exactly right for your child, helping them to build confidence, fill any gaps in their knowledge, and feel much more prepared for their GCSEs.
We're aiming for a top university like Nottingham or Loughborough. Can a tutor help?
Yes. Strong English skills are vital for A-Levels and university applications. Our tutors can help your child develop the advanced analytical and writing skills they'll need to excel in sixth form and craft a compelling personal statement for their UCAS application.
How do I find the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy! You can filter tutors by subject, level, and price. Watch their introductory videos and read reviews from other parents to get a feel for their teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to make sure they're the perfect fit for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How does online tutoring work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has everything your child needs, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from home.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
A one-to-one setting provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. Tutors are brilliant at celebrating small wins and breaking down big topics into manageable steps, which helps your child see their own progress and believe in their abilities.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is identity and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure of their quality.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Definitely. Many of our English tutors are experts in both and can create a learning plan that covers everything your child needs, from analysing poetry for their Literature exam to mastering persuasive writing for their Language paper.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week works best, especially in the run-up to exams. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange sessions with your tutor as often or as little as your child needs, fitting them around school and other commitments.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. You can discuss different session lengths with your tutor if needed.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects?
Not at all! While we cover all school subjects, we also have amazing tutors who can help your child learn a musical instrument like the guitar, a new language, or even practical skills like coding.
