Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to apply to Bolton Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students meet the entry requirements for local colleges. They can focus on the specific GCSE skills and grades, like a Grade 5 or above, needed to secure a place on their desired A-Level courses.
We're aiming for a competitive university like the University of Manchester. How can tutoring support this long-term goal?
A strong GCSE in English is a vital first step. Our tutors help build a solid foundation in analytical and writing skills that are essential for A-Levels and university applications. They can work with your child to develop the deeper understanding needed to stand out.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important, and we want you to be completely happy. That's why we have a 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.
Do you only offer help with school subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get into coding, or even learn a new language, we have expert tutors who can help.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience on their profile. You can even message them for free before booking to make sure they're the right fit for your child's personality and learning needs.
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, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, so your child and their tutor can work through texts, practice essays, and share feedback in real-time.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins helps rebuild their self-belief, often leading to fantastic results.
How do you make sure tutors are safe to work with children?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor must pass an identity check and have a valid DBS background check. We also personally interview every tutor, and we only accept 1 in 8 who apply, ensuring you get the very best.
How long is a typical lesson, and how often should my child have one?
Lessons are usually an hour long. Most parents find that a regular weekly session works best to build momentum and keep up with schoolwork, but the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged with your tutor.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Definitely. Most of our English tutors are experts in both parts of the GCSE curriculum. They can help your child switch between analysing poetry for Literature and mastering persuasive writing for Language, covering all the bases.
What if our schedule changes week to week?
That's the great thing about online tutoring. Our tutors offer flexible scheduling, so you can find a time that works for your family. If you need to reschedule a lesson, you can arrange it directly with your tutor.
