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 wants to study at Havant & South Downs College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Emsworth come to us. Our English tutors are experienced in helping students secure the specific grades needed for entry into competitive local colleges. They can focus on the exact areas of the curriculum your child finds challenging to help them get the Grade 5 or above they need for their chosen A-Level path.
We're thinking ahead to universities like Southampton or Portsmouth. Can tutoring support this long-term goal?
Yes, it's a great way to build a strong academic foundation. A tutor can help your child develop the critical thinking, analytical, and writing skills that top universities look for right from the start. Building confidence and strong study habits at GCSE level sets them up for success at A-Level and beyond.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Think about your child's personality and learning style – would they benefit from a very structured teacher, or someone more creative? Finding the right match is key to their success.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is, which is 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.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and been personally interviewed by our team. We only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be completely confident in your choice.
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. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
How do online lessons work?
They take place in our specially designed online classroom. It has everything your child needs, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a simple, secure, and effective way to learn from home.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to both you and your child. You can discuss your child's goals with the tutor and work together to track their improvement, whether that's through better test scores, increased confidence, or a newfound enjoyment of the subject.
My child finds English really difficult. Can a tutor help build their confidence?
Definitely. One-to-one tutoring is fantastic for building confidence. In a supportive, patient environment, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins and breaking down difficult topics makes the subject feel much more manageable and even enjoyable.
How long should a lesson be?
Most lessons are an hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor to best suit your child's concentration and your family's schedule.
How quickly can we find a tutor and get started?
You can get started very quickly. Many parents find the right tutor and have their first lesson booked within 24-48 hours. Simply search, message a few tutors you like, and arrange a time that works for you.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child also learn something like coding or a musical instrument?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to mastering skills like coding or public speaking, we have expert tutors who can help your child explore their passions.
