Cheerful and effective English Tutor!
Hello! Fantastic to meet you, I'm Florence. I've been a qualified primary school teacher for twelve years now, and loved every moment.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for Queen Elizabeth's High School. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ exam. They can build your child's confidence in key areas like comprehension, vocabulary, and creative writing, all in a supportive, low-pressure environment.
We're aiming for a competitive course at the University of Lincoln or Sheffield. Can a tutor help with A-Level English?
Yes, we have many tutors who are experts at A-Level English Language and Literature. They can provide in-depth support with complex texts, critical theory, and coursework, as well as helping your child hone their personal statement to stand out in their university applications.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have said about them. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat to see if they're a good fit for your child's personality and learning style before you book a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. 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.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor can create a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them rebuild their self-belief and rediscover a love for the subject.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked, and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does an online English tutor in Gainsborough cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can easily see the price per hour on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find a great tutor who fits your budget.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which has features like a whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might work through a specific text with your child, review a practice essay together, or focus on a tricky area of grammar, all tailored to their needs.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most families find that a weekly session works well to build momentum and keep learning consistent, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for you and your child directly with your tutor.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child’s progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going. Often, the first sign of progress is your child feeling more confident and positive about their English lessons at school.
Can tutoring help with specific texts, like GCSE Shakespeare plays?
Definitely. A tutor can provide one-to-one support to help your child get to grips with challenging texts. They can work through key themes, analyse important quotes, and help your child structure their thoughts into a high-quality essay.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get help with coding, or even learn a new language.
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.
