Holly E
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.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

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.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to get into Woodhouse College. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in helping students aim for top GCSE grades (7-9). They can focus specifically on the analytical and essay-writing skills needed to meet the entry requirements for competitive sixth forms like Woodhouse College and The Compton School.
We live in Finchley and are considering The Henrietta Barnett School. Do you have tutors experienced with 11+ entrance exams?
Yes, we do. You can filter for tutors who have specific experience with 11+ and grammar school entrance exams. They can help your child build confidence in verbal reasoning, comprehension, and creative writing to prepare them for the challenges of these selective tests.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
The best way is to look at their profiles. You can see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have said about them. Many tutors also have a short video, which is a great way to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. Finding someone your child connects with is key.
How much does an online English tutor cost in Finchley?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, and you can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile. This transparency allows you to find an experienced tutor who fits your budget.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. There's video chat, an interactive whiteboard for brainstorming essay ideas or analysing texts, and a way to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we personally interview them to assess their expertise and teaching ability. We're very selective – we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply – so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor provides a supportive, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly sessions to build their skills over time. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor, who will help create a plan that works for you.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding or playing the guitar to public speaking and creative writing.
Can I track my child's progress?
Of course. The best way is to have a quick chat with your tutor. They will be happy to give you regular feedback on how your child is doing, what they've been working on, and what the plan is for upcoming lessons. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
Do we need to commit to a certain number of lessons?
Not at all. We operate on a pay-as-you-go basis, so you are in complete control. There are no contracts or long-term commitments. You simply pay for the lessons you book, giving you total flexibility.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
