Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're preparing for the Southend 11+ exam. Can an English tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ exam. They can focus on strengthening core English skills, improving comprehension, and building confidence in verbal reasoning, which are all key parts of the test.
My child is aiming for a grammar school like Westcliff High. Can we find a tutor with relevant experience?
Yes, you can. When you search, you can read tutor profiles to see their experience and areas of expertise. Many mention their success in helping students prepare for entrance exams for specific grammar schools. You can also message them before booking to ask about their experience.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Think about what your child needs most. Is it confidence with creative writing, help with exam technique, or support with a specific text? You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience. Reading their profiles and reviews from other parents is a great way to get a feel for their teaching style.
How can I be sure the tutors are qualified and safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must provide a valid DBS check or equivalent background check. We also verify their ID and qualifications. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial 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 much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can filter by price to find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great way to build momentum and see steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child and your family with your chosen tutor.
Can tutoring help my child if they've lost their confidence in English?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a supportive, encouraging environment where your child feels safe to ask questions and make mistakes. Rebuilding that confidence is often the first step to unlocking their potential.
What results can we expect from tutoring?
While every child's journey is different, our aim is to help them feel more confident and make real academic progress. We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we have over 4,100 reviews from happy parents giving us a 4.6-star rating.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts in all core academic subjects from Primary up to A-Level, we also have talented tutors who can teach skills like coding, learning a musical instrument like the guitar, or even public speaking. There's a huge range of subjects to explore.
How do I pay for lessons?
Paying for lessons is straightforward and secure. You add your payment details to your account, and after each completed lesson, payment is automatically processed. You'll never need to handle cash or worry about remembering to pay.
