Amy K
Experienced English tutor
Do you find English a challenge? If so, I am sure that I am the tutor for you. My pedagogical stance is simple: encouraging creativity and engagement will stop people thinking that English is a chore. My aim is to plan lessons to develop students’ critical thinking skills and ability to put their thoughts from brain to paper. Another important aim is for me to help students feel comfortable and confident within the subject, whether that is finding quotes to analyse, understanding concepts or improving on your spelling, punctuation and grammar. I have plenty of experience helping students to excel i...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child hopes to apply to Durham Sixth Form Centre. Can a tutor help them meet the GCSE English entry requirements?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades needed for competitive colleges. They can focus on the exact areas of the English curriculum your child needs to strengthen to secure the 7, 8, or 9 required for their chosen A-Level pathway.

With Durham University nearby, the academic pressure is high. Can a tutor help with more than just GCSEs?

Yes, definitely. Our tutors can support students right through their A-Levels, helping them craft a strong UCAS personal statement and prepare for the academic rigour of a Russell Group university. They provide support that builds confidence for the next step in your child's education.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

Is Tutorful only for core academic subjects like English?

Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument, get into coding, or pick up a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help.

How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?

You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their approach to teaching the GCSE curriculum and how they've helped other students achieve top grades.

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 quality tutoring that fits your family's budget.

How do the online lessons work?

Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child to collaborate with their tutor just as they would in person. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.

How do I know my child is safe online?

Your child's safety is our highest priority. All our tutors are background-checked, and we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. All lessons are recorded, which gives you peace of mind and also allows your child to review their sessions later.

My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?

This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a patient and encouraging environment where your child feels comfortable asking questions they might be afraid to ask in class. This personalised support is fantastic for rebuilding their self-belief.

How often should my child have a lesson?

This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Many families start with one session a week, especially in the run-up to exams like the GCSEs. You can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor during your first lesson.

Can a tutor help with specific parts of the English exam, like poetry analysis?

Yes, that's the great thing about one-to-one support. If your child finds unseen poetry tricky or struggles with Shakespeare, their tutor can dedicate entire lessons to breaking down those topics until your child feels confident and prepared for the exam.

How do I know if tutoring is actually working?

Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You'll also see it in their growing confidence and improved results in school tests and homework. With 90% of students improving by at least one grade, you can feel confident you're making a great investment in their future.
