Flora is patient and takes the time to ensure my child understands concepts properly before moving on. She always comes well prepared, communicates effectively with my son, and explains things clearly. She also takes time to prepare homework assignments and resource materials to reinforce learning.
She’s easy to reach and is happy to chat with parents about progress and the ways we can support learning at home. My son enjoys her teaching and is happy to add one more lesson a week with Flora. I’d gladly recommend her to others looking for a solid tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for King's or KGGS. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience in preparing children for the 11+ exam, including the verbal reasoning and comprehension skills needed for entry into Grantham's grammar schools. You can view tutor profiles and even message them beforehand to discuss their experience with entrance exams.
We're worried about the step up to GCSE English at a Grantham grammar school. How can a tutor help?
This is a common concern, and a tutor can be a fantastic source of support. They can help bridge any gaps in your child's understanding, work on advanced analytical skills for literature, and refine their essay writing technique to help them aim for those top 8/9 grades and feel confident in a competitive environment.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read reviews from other parents, view each tutor's qualifications and experience, and watch their introductory video to get a feel for their personality. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a session.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right relationship is key to learning. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, 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 rates, typically based on their experience. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an excellent tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do online lessons 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 secure and convenient way for your child to learn from home with a top-quality tutor.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Confidence is just as important as knowledge. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. A tutor can celebrate their small wins, build on their strengths, and help them see that they are capable of succeeding.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our experience shows that consistent, personalised support makes a real difference. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The key is the regular, focused attention a one-to-one tutor can provide.
Can I get help with A-Level English as well as GCSE?
Yes. We have a huge range of tutors who specialise in all levels, from primary school and the 11+ right through to GCSE, A-Levels, and even university-level English. You can filter your search to find a tutor with the right experience.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English and Maths, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to coding in Python, we're here to support your child's passions.
What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring websites?
We focus on finding the perfect match for your child. With over 4,100 reviews and a 4.6-star rating, parents trust us to provide high-quality, vetted tutors who deliver personalised lessons. We're here to support you and your child every step of the way.
