Flora is the best teacher that has ever taught my daughters. They even said they wish their English teacher at school were like Flora — which I think says everything. 😊 She is so patient, encouraging, and creates a positive atmosphere. It makes a real difference, and we truly appreciate her work.

Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends a top East Renfrewshire school. Can a tutor match that high academic standard?
Absolutely. We hand-pick the best tutors from across the UK, with many being subject experts from top universities. We only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be confident you're finding a tutor who can challenge and support your child, helping them excel in a competitive environment.
We're aiming for a course at the University of Glasgow or Edinburgh. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students with their university applications, including crafting personal statements and preparing for the specific demands of Higher English exams needed for entry into competitive 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—like help with essay technique or textual analysis—to find the perfect match.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is everything. 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. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a safe space makes a huge difference. Your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed, and the tutor can praise their progress and focus on their strengths, helping them feel more capable and less anxious about their English lessons at school.
What qualifications do your English tutors have?
Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds, including qualified teachers, examiners, and university-level subject specialists. All tutors are identity and background checked, and their qualifications are verified. You can see all this information on their profile.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, speak Spanish, or get started with coding, we have an expert who can help.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's designed to make learning online feel just as personal and effective as being in the same room.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going. Seeing your child's confidence grow and their school results improve is often the clearest sign of success.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Typically, sessions are one hour long. However, you can agree on a different length with your tutor to best suit your child's concentration span and your family's schedule. Many parents find a regular one-hour slot each week works perfectly.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can start very quickly! Once you've found a tutor you like, you can message them to arrange a first lesson. Many tutors have availability within the next few days, so you can get the support your child needs right away.
