Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study A-Levels at Godalming College. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in GCSE English and have extensive experience helping students achieve the grades needed for competitive sixth forms and colleges. They can focus on specific areas your child finds difficult, from essay writing to analysing unseen texts, to build their skills and confidence for exam day.
The schools in Godalming are very competitive. Can I find a tutor experienced with helping students aim for top grades?
Yes. You can view each tutor’s full profile, including their qualifications, experience, and reviews from other parents. Many of our tutors are subject experts who specialise in helping students target grades 7-9 at GCSE, giving your child the focused support they need to succeed in a competitive environment.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. 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 goals before booking. This helps ensure you find someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to success. 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 does online tutoring work?
It’s simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an ID check and has an up-to-date DBS or background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that also fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space can do wonders for a child's confidence. A tutor can go over topics at your child's pace, celebrate their progress, and help them see that they are capable of understanding even the trickiest concepts. This personalised encouragement is often what helps everything click into place.
Can I see reviews for tutors?
Of course. Every tutor profile features reviews and ratings from other parents and students. We're proud to have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 customer reviews, so you can feel confident you're making a great choice.
How long is a typical lesson and how often should we have them?
Most lessons are one hour long, and we generally find that a regular weekly session works best for building momentum and making steady progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs.
How quickly can we start?
You can start very quickly. Many tutors are available to start within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you can book your first lesson straight away.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or a musical instrument?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts for core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have talented tutors who can teach everything from coding and guitar to foreign languages and art.
