Friendly English tutor
I like to base all my lessons around solid scaffolding. This means we would start with what prior knowledge we have, then move onto a solid introduction, then do guided questions and then finally completing work independently. I’m currently coming to the end of my teaching degree. I have worked in the schools however over the last six years I have been a teaching assistant for two of those years, then moved on to covering classes and then moving onto teaching in an unqualified position. I have taught between reception year up to year six. I have a very strong understanding of the national curriculum f...

Megan G
Megan is a wonderful tutor!
My son has really enjoyed the sessions with her and she adapts them to ensure he is fully understanding the teaching.
Megan provides an overview of feedback after to each session which allows me to understand what she has covered in the session and how to future support my son.
I cannot recommend her enough!!

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

I just wanted to send you a heartfelt thank-you for the English lessons you gave my son. After only three sessions with you, he managed to pass — and we couldn’t be happier! He really enjoyed your lessons and said you made everything easy to understand and enjoyable.I truly appreciate the time, patience, and encouragement you gave him. It’s made a huge difference to his confidence and attitude toward English. Thanks again for all your help — we’re both very grateful!

Amazing tutor! I went from a weak grade 3 in English Language to being just one mark off a 6. Lessons were clear, supportive, and really boosted my confidence. I couldn’t have done it without their help and would 100% recommend.

Ameena tutored our son for an English language retake and he got an 8! He went up 3 grades from a 5. Her tutoring was focussed and responsive and she did it all over about 7 weeks. Could not ask for more. Thank you so much Ameena!

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

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.
