Becca C
Creative English tutor
I have my (2.1) BA in English Literature from The University of Sheffield and have been an online tutor for two years. To date, I've taught over 3,000 lessons, from KS1 to A-Level which has enabled me to adapt my teaching style and content to different students.For example, when I tutored a student with ADHD I increased the number of activities while reducing the length to ensure they remained engaged with the lesson.Conversely, when tutoring one of my A-Level students with anxiety, I slowed the lesson pace and used fewer activities to reduce stress. In lessons, I predominately use visual learning...

Russell B
Professional English tutor
I am a theatre director who tutors. Trained in Moscow with a first class honours MA, I have directed Olivier Award Winners and when I work with actors/creatives I feel the hard work should be inspiring, fun and rigorous.Tutoring is no different. I love working with young people and helping them learn about the world of Drama and Acting.I brought Kafka to kids in the show 'Beetlemania: Kafka for Kids!' at the Edinburgh Festival; and Chekhov to younger audiences at Southwark Playhouse in new versions by award winning playwright Anya Reiss. These critically acclaimed productions had casts featuring...

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!

Holly E
Holly has been a fantastic tutor for my daughter, Anissa. She is patient, encouraging and explains things in a clear and supportive way.
Since starting lessons with Holly, Anissa’s confidence has grown noticeably, and she feels much more comfortable and positive in her learning. She really enjoys the sessions and speaks very warmly about Holly — she genuinely loves learning with her.
We’ve been very pleased with the progress so far and would highly recommend Holly to other families looking for a caring and effective tutor.

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.
