Tudor B
Dedicated English tutor
With a combined 10 years' of education experience across two institutions, I have encountered many types of students - some aged 16, some aged 60. All present very unique educational needs, or even sensory needs; at times, it is necessary for me to deliver or reiterate classroom content through British Sign Language (BSL), something I would be more than happy to do with clients here as well. My responsibility as a Learning Link Tutor is to bridge the gap between learner and tutor within the classroom, and academically support the students who need it. Although I only possess a Level 4 teaching...

22 students received their GCSE results this year - my biggest Y11 cohort yet, and with record success: 🎓 76% achieved top grades (7–9). 🍎 Every single student improved by at least one grade - and 80% jumped by two grades or more. ✏️ Four students were previously struggling at grade 3 - all passed, and two went on to secure a grade 6. 🏫 One student rose from a grade 4 at the end of Year 10 to a grade 9 at GCSE!

Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school. I had some recent feedback from a parent, stating that their child had "gone from being scared of maths (and trying to hide it by saying maths is boring) to loving it!" Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to The Brooksbank School. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE grades needed for Greenhead College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students bridge the gap to secure places at competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific areas of the English curriculum your child needs to master to achieve the high grades required for entry.
We're preparing for the Calderdale 11+ grammar school entrance exams. Can we find a tutor who specialises in this?
Yes, you can. We have many tutors who specialise in 11+ preparation, including the verbal and non-verbal reasoning skills crucial for grammar school entrance exams in the Calderdale area. You can filter your search to find a tutor with this specific experience.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right student-tutor relationship is key. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first 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 much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £45 per hour depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform, so you can feel completely reassured.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged by their classmates. This personalised attention helps them understand difficult topics, and as their understanding grows, so does their confidence.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons are tailored to your child's needs. A session might involve going over a tricky piece of homework, practising exam techniques for an upcoming GCSE paper, analysing a poem together on the interactive whiteboard, or planning an essay.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Tutors will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to ask for updates. Seeing your child become more confident and engaged with English is often the first and best sign of progress.
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. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which we find is most effective for maintaining focus and making real progress. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your chosen tutor if needed.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and diagrams, and a document uploader. It has all the tools needed for your child to learn effectively from the comfort of your home.
