Lee N
Lee has been a great tutor for our 15-year-old son, Leo. He’s really helped him with structuring his essays and breaking things down in a way that makes it much easier for Leo to understand and apply in his school work.
What’s made the biggest difference though is Lee himself. He has a really great personality and a relaxed way of teaching that puts Leo at ease straight away. Leo feels comfortable being himself in the sessions, which means he’s much more open to asking questions and having a go.
Since starting with Lee, Leo’s confidence with English has grown a lot and he’s actually started enjoying the subject again. The support and encouragement Lee gives has been really valuable for him in preparation for his GCSE's.

Flora is patient and takes the time to ensure my child understands concepts properly before moving on. She always comes well prepared, communicates effectively with my son, and explains things clearly. She also takes time to prepare homework assignments and resource materials to reinforce learning.
She’s easy to reach and is happy to chat with parents about progress and the ways we can support learning at home. My son enjoys her teaching and is happy to add one more lesson a week with Flora. I’d gladly recommend her to others looking for a solid tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Farnborough Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help with the English grades they need?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are very experienced in helping students aim for specific grades, like the 6s and 7s needed for competitive A-Level courses. They can focus on exam technique, essay writing, and textual analysis to help your child build the skills and confidence needed to achieve their goals.
We're considering the University of Surrey for my child's future. Can English tutoring help strengthen their application?
Yes, it can. Strong communication skills are vital for university and are at the heart of English. A tutor can help your child become a more articulate and confident writer, which is a huge asset for personal statements and future academic work, whatever subject they choose.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
The best way is to look at their profiles, where you can see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have said about them. You can message tutors for free before booking to ask about their approach and ensure they're a good fit for your child's personality and learning style.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's 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.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How much do online English tutors in Farnborough cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget using the filters on the search page. All pricing is shown clearly on the tutors' profiles, so there are no hidden costs.
How can online tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one online lessons provide a safe, supportive space for your child to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in a busy classroom. This personalised attention helps them master topics they find tricky, and as their understanding grows, so does their confidence.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills, not just core academic ones. Whether your child wants to learn coding, a new language, play a musical instrument, or get help with their university application, you can find an expert tutor to help.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a great way for your child to learn from the comfort of home, with all the tools they need for a productive lesson.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are an hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor to fit what works best for your child and your family's schedule.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly lessons to build their skills and confidence over time. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is a great chance for the tutor to get to know your child. They'll chat about what your child enjoys, where they feel they're struggling, and what they want to achieve. It's all about building a positive relationship and creating a learning plan that's tailored to them.
