Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Heathfield Community College. Can a tutor help them achieve the grades needed to compete with students from local independent schools?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students push beyond their predicted grades. They can provide the focused, one-to-one attention needed to master complex topics and develop the sophisticated analytical skills that will help your child stand out and feel confident in their abilities.
We're hoping for a place at a competitive university like Sussex or Bristol. Can a tutor help develop the skills needed for that?
Yes, definitely. Our English tutors excel at stretching students beyond the curriculum. They focus on developing higher-level critical thinking and essay writing skills, which are essential for strong A-Level performance and compelling university applications.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications on their profiles. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to make sure you find the perfect fit.
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 a 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.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We're also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but typically range from £25 to £50 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget.
How can tutoring help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic way to rebuild confidence. In a supportive, private setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics into manageable steps, helping your child see that they can succeed.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE English exams?
Yes. Many of our tutors are examiners or have extensive experience with the GCSE curriculum. They can help your child prepare for both their English Language and English Literature exams, potentially improving their result by up to two grades.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your home.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child's needs. A session might involve planning an essay together on the interactive whiteboard, analysing quotes from a set text like 'A Christmas Carol', or working on specific grammar and punctuation skills that need improvement.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most parents find that one session a week is ideal for consistent progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child and their goals with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're experts in academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have brilliant tutors for a wide range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking Spanish.
