Mamun A
My son has just started with Mamun, so far I am very happy. At first, my son was finding it a bit difficult to understand him, but when I expected it to Mamun he was very nice about it, and he did exactly what I wanted.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for the Salisbury grammar schools. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They have extensive experience with the specific demands of the entrance exams, from comprehension and creative writing to verbal reasoning, and can help your child build both the skills and the confidence needed.
We want to ensure our child gets into Gillingham School's sixth form. Can a tutor help secure top GCSE grades?
Definitely. A strong GCSE English grade is crucial. Our tutors focus on the specific curriculum your child is studying, helping them master key texts, improve their essay writing, and refine their exam technique. In fact, our focused support can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask questions before you book. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with, whether they need help with GCSE 'Macbeth' or A-Level creative writing.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for learning. 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 do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Are your tutors properly vetted?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has to pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in a busy classroom. When a tutor tailors lessons to their pace and celebrates their small wins, it can transform how they see themselves as a learner.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our personalised approach is designed for progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions, and 90% of our students improve their academic results by at least one grade.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
It's for much more than just schoolwork! We have expert tutors who can help your child explore a passion or learn a new hobby, from playing the guitar and learning to code, to mastering a new language for a family holiday.
Can a tutor help with specific A-Level texts to support a university application to somewhere like Bristol or Exeter?
Yes. Many of our tutors are subject specialists with degree-level knowledge. They can provide in-depth support for specific A-Level modules and texts, helping your child develop the analytical skills needed to write a standout personal statement and achieve the grades required for top universities.
My child finds analysing poetry really difficult. Can a tutor help with that?
That's a very common challenge, and our tutors are great at helping with it. They can break down complex poems, explain literary devices in a simple way, and give your child a clear structure to follow so they can write about poetry with confidence.
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.
