Gearoid C
Gearoid supported my son with GCSE English during a key transition period in Year 11. My son had moved schools and was adjusting to a different GCSE specification, which had left noticeable gaps in his knowledge. Gearoid helped him bridge those gaps methodically and clarified the expectations of the exam board.
From the very first session, there was a shift in confidence. My son came out saying, “So I’m not stupid.” Over time, that developed into him saying he “felt clever.” For a student who can struggle with processing speed and exam anxiety, this was a significant and meaningful change.
Gearoid is calm, professional and thoughtful in his approach. He communicates clearly, is reliable, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. I am grateful for the role he played in rebuilding both understanding and belief.

Flora is the best teacher that has ever taught my daughters. They even said they wish their English teacher at school were like Flora — which I think says everything. 😊 She is so patient, encouraging, and creates a positive atmosphere. It makes a real difference, and we truly appreciate her work.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Lewis School Pengam. Can a tutor help with the specific curriculum they follow?
Yes. Tutors can tailor lessons to the specific exam board and curriculum your child's school uses. Just mention this when you message tutors – they'll be happy to create a plan that aligns with what they're learning in class.
We're worried about the jump from GCSEs to A-Levels at a local college. Can a tutor help with that transition?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students bridge the gap between GCSE and A-Level study. They can work with your child to build the independent learning skills and deeper subject knowledge needed to succeed in further education.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's about finding someone your child will connect with.
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.
My child's confidence in English is really low. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins and breaking down tough topics helps rebuild their self-belief.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. You can filter your search by price to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.
Is tutoring just for core subjects like English, or can you help with other interests?
We cover a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond academics, your child can learn anything from playing the guitar and coding in Python to preparing for their music theory exams. It's all about helping them pursue their passions.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s designed to be simple and engaging, so your child can focus on learning. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour a week is ideal for consistent progress, especially when preparing for exams like GCSEs. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child and your schedule directly with your tutor.
How do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check. We also interview them and verify their ID and qualifications, so you can have complete peace of mind.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
We believe it is, and so do the 200,000+ students who've learned with us! Online tutoring offers access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those nearby. Plus, with interactive tools and recorded lessons for revision, it provides a flexible and powerful learning experience.
What kind of results can we expect?
While every child learns at their own pace, we're proud that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs, this can be an improvement of up to two grades, which can make a huge difference to their future options.
