Then, I explain the new content and go through some examples and non-examples, asking further probing questions to eit...

Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Matthew has been teaching my son since September and he absolutely enjoys the lessons. He explains writing in a way my son can understand, and we’ve already seen a boost in his confidence.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're in Forest Hill and feel the pressure from nearby selective schools. Can a tutor help my child keep up?
Absolutely. This is a common concern for parents in the area. A tutor provides a dedicated space for your child to work at their own pace, away from classroom pressures. They can reinforce topics, tackle specific weaknesses in essay writing or analysis, and build the confidence your child needs to excel in a competitive environment.
My child hopes to apply to a top London university. How can an English tutor help?
Strong English skills are critical for university applications. A tutor can help your child develop the high-level analytical and communication skills that admissions tutors at competitive universities look for. They can also provide invaluable support in crafting a compelling personal statement.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend reading tutor profiles, checking their qualifications, and looking at reviews from other parents. You can also send a message to a few tutors to see who feels like the best fit for your child's personality and learning style before booking a lesson.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It allows your child to have a face-to-face, engaging lesson with their tutor from the comfort of your home.
How much does an English tutor cost in Forest Hill?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find an expert to suit your budget.
Can tutoring help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe and encouraging environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins and breaking down difficult topics helps rebuild their self-belief.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our UK-based tutors has undergone an identity and background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform.
What is your First Lesson Guarantee?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If, for any reason, you don't get on with your first tutor, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How long will it take for my child to see an improvement?
Every child learns differently, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Academic progress often follows as the tutor helps them fill in knowledge gaps and master new skills.
Can a tutor help with both GCSE English Language and Literature?
Yes, most of our English tutors are experienced in teaching both parts of the GCSE curriculum. They can help your child switch between analysing poetry for Literature and honing their persuasive writing for Language, providing comprehensive support.
What happens in a typical one-hour English lesson?
A lesson is tailored to your child's goals. It might start with a quick review of the previous week's topic, then move on to tackling a new area, such as structuring an essay or analysing a difficult text. The tutor will provide instant feedback and set clear objectives for the next session.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also have experts in a huge range of other areas. Your child could learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language or even public speaking skills.
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.
