Roy is doing a great job helping my son prepare for his GCSE English exam. He has only had a few lessons with Roy, but I can already see that he is more confident and enjoying him lessons, which is wonderful. Thanks.

Gearoid C
Gearoid supported my son with GCSE English during a key transition period in Year 11. My son had moved schools and was adjusting to a different GCSE specification, which had left noticeable gaps in his knowledge. Gearoid helped him bridge those gaps methodically and clarified the expectations of the exam board.
From the very first session, there was a shift in confidence. My son came out saying, “So I’m not stupid.” Over time, that developed into him saying he “felt clever.” For a student who can struggle with processing speed and exam anxiety, this was a significant and meaningful change.
Gearoid is calm, professional and thoughtful in his approach. He communicates clearly, is reliable, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. I am grateful for the role he played in rebuilding both understanding and belief.

My child is preparing for the Kent Test. Can I find a tutor with specific experience?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping children prepare for the 11+ and the Kent Test specifically. You can check their profiles for details on their expertise and even send them a message before booking to discuss your child's needs.
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.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
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.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are ID and background-checked. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget.
How do the 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 simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
Can a tutor help with both GCSE English Language and Literature?
Definitely. Many of our English tutors are experts in both subjects. They can help your child with everything from analysing poetry and plays for Literature to mastering essay structure and persuasive writing for Language.
How quickly will I see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our goal is to make a positive impact from the very first session. Consistent lessons help build momentum, and we find that 90% of students improve by at least one grade.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life can be busy, and we understand that. You can easily reschedule or cancel a lesson with your tutor through the platform, as long as you give them at least 24 hours' notice.
