Beth D
Creative and targeted English tutor
Hello! I have two years of private tutoring experience and I’m a friendly, enthusiastic tutor wanting to help students achieve the best grades possible. I use a personalised approach in my teaching methods as no two students are the same and if I find that something isn’t working for any individual I will always change my approach to find an understanding, whether that be incorporating drawings and visual aids or providing every day examples. I think tutoring can be fun and enjoyable with the right person for you behind the screen! I like to make my lessons interactive rather than a lecture sty...

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at Royal Holloway. Can a tutor help with this goal?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience helping students secure the top GCSE and A-Level grades needed for competitive universities. They can focus on developing the advanced analytical and writing skills that admissions teams look for, giving your child the best possible preparation.
We're aiming for a top local college in Surrey. Can we find a tutor who understands the requirements?
Absolutely. You can read tutors' profiles to see their experience and even send them a message before booking to discuss your child's specific goals. Many of our tutors are familiar with the standards of well-regarded colleges and can tailor lessons accordingly.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that finding the right personality match is key. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk, and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's a great way to get a feel for their approach and find the perfect fit.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on their profiles, with no hidden costs.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS check. We are very selective, only accepting 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help my child build confidence, not just their grades?
Absolutely. For many parents, this is the most important benefit. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. This one-to-one attention often leads to a huge boost in self-belief that extends beyond English lessons.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding or public speaking, you can find a tutor to support your child's hobbies and passions too.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about what they enjoy, what they find tricky, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed session designed to build a good relationship and create a plan for future lessons.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor if needed – it's completely flexible.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are handled securely and easily through the Tutorful platform. Once a lesson is complete, your payment is automatically processed, so you don't have to worry about cash or bank transfers.
