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 wants to go to Carmel College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for higher grades. They can focus specifically on the GCSE curriculum to strengthen the skills needed to stand out, helping your child build confidence in everything from analysing unseen texts to writing powerful essays for a competitive application.
We're worried about our child's chances for universities like Liverpool or Manchester. How can an English tutor help now?
A strong GCSE in English is a crucial foundation for a successful university application. Our tutors help build the core analytical and communication skills that top universities value. By mastering these skills now, your child will be better prepared for A-Levels and for writing a compelling personal statement when the time comes.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. You can also send them a message to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding the right personality and teaching style for your child.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it’s the perfect fit for your child. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted onto our platform.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on a tutor's experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has been designed to make learning as simple and effective as possible. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, so your child and their tutor can work through everything from essay plans to past papers together.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
One-to-one support can make a huge difference. A tutor creates a safe, patient environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. They can go back over the basics and build up your child's understanding step-by-step, helping them feel capable and confident again.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the English GCSE, like the poetry anthology?
Definitely. That's one of the main benefits of one-to-one tutoring. If your child is struggling with a specific area, the tutor can dedicate entire lessons to it, using targeted exercises and resources to help them master it.
What kind of results can we expect?
While every child's journey is different, we're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. You'll be joining a community of over 200,000 happy students who have found the support they need with us, and our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews shows how much parents value our service.
How often should my child have a lesson?
It's completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. Many families start with one session a week, but you can arrange more frequent lessons during exam periods or less frequent top-up sessions. It's something you can discuss and agree upon with your tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding or even a new language, you can find expert tutors for almost anything on Tutorful.
