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

We're aiming for a place at Dartford Grammar or Wilmington Grammar. Can a tutor help with that level of competition?
Yes. Our tutors can provide the focused, one-to-one support needed to help your child feel confident and prepared for the high standards of local grammar schools. They can work on specific areas like advanced comprehension, vocabulary and nuanced writing to help them perform at their best.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit for your child's personality and learning style. You can read reviews from other parents, watch introductory videos, and message tutors for free to ask about their approach. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step to success.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tuition provides a safe and encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling self-conscious. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors help students replace anxiety with confidence, lesson by lesson.

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.

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 simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
