Lina H
Professional and inspiring English and English tutor
Maths is usually the subject students struggle with most at school mainly due to the lack of individual help during lessons. Students often don’t ask for help when faced with a topic they find hard and so they develop gaps in their learning, which in itself become problematic later on. In my opinion the first objective of private tutoring in maths should be to systematically deal with those gaps, which are usually identified within the first couple of lessons. Once the gaps are covered, we can then proceed to cover the necessary course material based on individual requirements.I have extensive e...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to a competitive sixth form near Finsbury Park. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in preparing students for the step up to A-Levels. They can help your child develop the deep analytical skills needed to achieve the high GCSE grades, such as a 7 or above, that are often required by sought-after local sixth forms.
We're worried about the competition for schools like Stoke Newington School. How can a tutor help?
We understand the pressure on families in areas like Finsbury Park. A tutor provides dedicated, one-to-one support that helps your child build true confidence in their abilities. By focusing on their specific weak spots, a tutor can help them strengthen the core English skills that top schools value most.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial. 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 choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and a personality your child will respond to.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. By patiently working through challenges, a tutor helps them experience small wins that build into a real belief in their own ability.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and vetted expert.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also have experts who can teach your child practical skills like coding or a new language, or even help them learn a musical instrument like the guitar.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter by price to find an expert who fits your budget. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles.
What happens in an online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which features a whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might use the whiteboard to break down an essay structure, share a document to analyse a poem together, or simply talk through complex ideas with your child.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard length for a tutoring session is one hour. This gives enough time to dive into a topic properly without your child losing focus. You can discuss different session lengths with your chosen tutor.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature GCSEs?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experienced in teaching both the Language and Literature components of the GCSE curriculum. You can check their profiles for specific expertise and message them to confirm they cover the exam board your child is studying.
My child finds analysing poetry really difficult. Can a tutor help with that specifically?
Definitely. This is where one-to-one tutoring really shines. A tutor can spend the entire session focusing on poetry, using methods that click with your child to help them understand difficult techniques and express their ideas clearly.
