Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for Crossley Heath or North Halifax Grammar. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ exam, including the verbal reasoning components. You can check each tutor's profile for their expertise and even message them beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs.
We're hoping for a place at Calderdale College after GCSEs. Can a tutor help with the required English grade?
Definitely. Our tutors are experts at helping students secure the grades they need for their next step. They can focus on the specific requirements of the GCSE English syllabus, helping your child with everything from exam technique to understanding core texts, to give them the best chance of success.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend watching tutors' introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also read reviews from other parents and use our messaging system to chat with a tutor before booking to ensure they're the perfect fit for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 an online English tutor 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 allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits within your budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and supportive space where there are no wrong questions. A tutor can go over topics as many times as needed until your child feels secure. This personalised attention and positive reinforcement often leads to a fantastic boost in self-belief.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors must pass an ID check and have an up-to-date DBS certificate or equivalent background check before they can teach on our platform.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, allowing your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week works well, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that suits your child's needs and your family's commitments directly with your chosen tutor.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have fantastic academic support for subjects like English, Maths and Science, you can also find expert tutors for hobbies and skills like learning the guitar, coding in Python, or even speaking a new language.
My child is already doing well in English. Can a tutor still help?
Yes, many parents use tutoring to stretch and challenge a child who is already performing well. A tutor can introduce more advanced concepts and help them aim for the very top grades, which can be especially helpful in a competitive environment.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
Every session is tailored to your child. A tutor might start by reviewing homework or a recent test, then introduce a new topic, like how to analyse a poem. They'll use the interactive whiteboard to break down ideas and finish by setting a small goal for the next lesson, ensuring steady progress.
