Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grade they need for colleges like Elliott Hudson or Notre Dame?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are GCSE specialists and have extensive experience helping students secure the grades needed for competitive sixth form colleges. They can focus specifically on the exam board your child is studying, working on essay technique and textual analysis to help them confidently aim for a grade 7 or above.
My child wants to study at a Russell Group university like Leeds or York. How can an English tutor help?
A strong command of English is vital for success at top universities. Tutors can help your child develop the advanced analytical and writing skills needed for A-Levels and university-level study. This strong foundation is what admissions tutors at places like the University of Leeds and the University of York look for in an application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We also encourage you to message tutors for free before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals, ensuring you find the perfect match for them.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. 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 has their ID verified. We also interview every tutor and accept only 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How much does an online English tutor in Garforth cost?
Tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees – you simply pay for the lessons you book.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a secure and engaging space where your child can learn one-to-one from the comfort of your home.
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 tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of being judged. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child’s self-belief.
How quickly will we see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Consistent, tailored support makes a real difference, often helping to build confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
Can tutoring help with the specific texts my child is studying for their GCSEs?
Definitely. Tutors can tailor lessons to the specific books, plays, and poems your child is studying for their exams, whether it's 'An Inspector Calls' or the poetry of Carol Ann Duffy. This targeted support is incredibly effective for exam preparation.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something new like coding or a musical instrument?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts in core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can also find tutors for hobbies and professional skills, from learning the guitar and speaking Spanish to coding in Python.
How do I book and pay for lessons?
It's simple. Once you've chosen a tutor, you can book a session directly from their profile. Our secure payment system handles everything, and you can manage your schedule easily through your Tutorful account.
