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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for Trafford grammar schools. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can create a tailored plan to build your child's confidence in key areas like comprehension, creative writing, and vocabulary, along with developing their exam technique.
We're aiming for a top sixth form. How can tutoring help with GCSE English?
Achieving top grades in GCSE English Language and Literature is crucial. Our tutors can provide focused support to help your child improve by up to two grades, concentrating on everything from analysing 'Macbeth' to mastering persuasive writing, which is vital for strong applications.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view detailed tutor profiles which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors for free before booking to discuss your child's needs and make sure it's a great fit.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to find the perfect match for your child. 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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
Can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement, helping them to build self-esteem alongside their subject knowledge.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most families start with one hour-long session per week, but you can arrange a frequency that works best for your schedule and learning needs.
What's the difference between GCSE English Language and Literature?
English Language focuses on reading non-fiction and creative writing skills, while English Literature involves analysing set texts like plays, poems, and novels. Our tutors can provide expert help for both subjects, which are two separate GCSEs.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of skills! You can find tutors for everything from coding and learning a musical instrument to public speaking.
How quickly will we see an improvement in our child's work?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the focused, one-to-one attention from a tutor means problem areas can be identified and worked on straight away. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one whole grade.
