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 go to Oldham Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them meet the GCSE English entry requirements?
Absolutely. Our tutors are very familiar with the requirements for local colleges. They can focus specifically on the skills and knowledge your child needs to aim for a 'strong pass' (Grade 5 or above) in GCSE English, helping them build the confidence and ability to secure their place.
We're thinking ahead to university in Manchester. How does GCSE English tutoring help with that?
A strong GCSE English grade is the foundation for future success. It unlocks a wider choice of A-Level subjects, which in turn strengthens their university application. The critical thinking and essay writing skills they'll develop with a tutor are also excellent preparation for the demands of degree-level study.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can use our filters to find tutors with specific experience, such as helping students prepare for GCSEs. Every tutor has a detailed profile with their qualifications, experience, and reviews from other parents. You can also message them for free to make sure they're the perfect fit before you book.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With 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 the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on a tutor's experience and qualifications, so you can find an expert to suit your family's budget. There are no hidden fees.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, a shared whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents, making it easy for your child to learn interactively from the comfort of your home.
My child has lost all their confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor can provide a patient, encouraging, and pressure-free space for your child to ask questions and rebuild their confidence at their own pace.
My child finds analysing poetry really difficult. Can a tutor focus just on that?
Yes. That's the main benefit of one-to-one tuition. Lessons are completely tailored to your child's needs. The tutor can spend as much time as needed on specific areas, like poetry, Shakespeare, or essay technique, until your child feels confident.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Most lessons are one hour long, and many families find a weekly session works best. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange the frequency and duration that best suits your child's needs and your family's schedule directly with your tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we have experts for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have talented tutors who teach a huge range of other skills. You can find tutors for everything from learning guitar and coding to speaking a new language.
How can I track my child's progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. The best sign of progress, however, is often seeing your child's confidence grow as they start to feel more positive about their abilities in English.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
