Sophie C
Experienced English English Literature and Language tutor.
Hello! My name is Sophie and I graduated from Durham University in English Literature in June 2024. I decided to study English Literature at university because I've always loved reading books and discussing them at length. Reading and analysing books gives us a better understanding of the world we operate within, human psychology, and the past. Outside of English, I love to draw, knit, and embroider. I also come from a big family, so I love spending time with them when we are together. I grew up internationally and lived in several countries before finally moving back to the UK.I also write my...

Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

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 hoping to study at Petroc college. Can a tutor help them secure the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for specific colleges like Petroc. They can focus on the exact skills and exam techniques your child needs to achieve a strong pass in their GCSE English, giving them the best chance of securing their place.
We're aiming for a place at a university like Exeter or Plymouth. Can a tutor support with A-Level English?
Yes, definitely. We have many specialist A-Level English tutors who can provide in-depth support. They can help your child master complex texts, refine their analytical skills, and prepare thoroughly for their exams, which is excellent preparation for degree-level study at universities like Exeter and Plymouth.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If it's not the right fit for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. You can also send them a message before booking to discuss your child's needs. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You'll see each tutor's hourly rate clearly displayed on their profile, with no hidden costs or booking fees. This transparency helps you find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
Can a tutor help if my child's confidence in English is low?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Our tutors create a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins and breaking down difficult topics helps rebuild their self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their schoolwork in general.
Can tutoring really help my child's GCSE English grade?
Yes, focused support can make a huge difference. A tutor can target the specific areas where your child needs help, from understanding poetry to exam technique. In fact, our data shows we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview them to ensure they have the right teaching skills and experience. We're very selective – only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted onto our platform.
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 way to share documents. It's a simple and effective way to learn from home, and all lessons are recorded so your child can review them anytime.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find a one-hour lesson once a week works well, as it provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange sessions with your tutor based on what works best for your child, whether that's more frequent lessons before an exam or fortnightly check-ins.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts in all core subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also offer tutoring in a wide range of skills. So if your child wants to learn a musical instrument, try coding, or even learn a new language, we have brilliant tutors who can help.
What is the cancellation policy if we need to miss a lesson?
We understand that life happens! Our tutors set their own cancellation policies, but most ask for 12 or 24 hours' notice. You can see each tutor's specific policy on their profile, so you'll know what to expect before you book.
