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

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for Harton Academy or St Wilfrid's?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific goals. They can focus on the GCSE English curriculum to build the skills and knowledge your child needs to achieve the high grades required for entry into competitive sixth forms.
My child hopes to study at Newcastle or Durham. How can an English tutor help?
A strong GCSE in English is a fundamental requirement for top universities. A tutor can help your child master the analytical and communication skills that are not only essential for their exams but also for A-Levels and university-level study, strengthening their future application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked, and we verify their ID. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
What if we don't get on with our first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If 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. This is our First Lesson Guarantee.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Sometimes, all a child needs is a little one-to-one attention. In a supportive space, they can ask questions they might not ask in class. Celebrating small wins and mastering tricky topics with their tutor can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might work through past papers, help structure an essay, or break down a difficult text like *Macbeth*, all tailored to your child's learning goals.
What technology do we need for online tutoring?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no software to download.
How long will my child need tutoring for?
This is completely up to you and your child. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others have regular weekly lessons throughout the school year. You can discuss your goals with your tutor to decide what's best.
Can tutoring help with specific GCSE English texts like An Inspector Calls?
Yes, definitely. Our English tutors are very familiar with the key texts on the GCSE curriculum. They can help your child explore themes, analyse characters, and understand the context, giving them the confidence to write about it in an exam.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects besides English?
We do! We have expert tutors for over 300 subjects, from Maths and Science to learning an instrument like the guitar or a new skill like coding. Whatever your child wants to learn, we can help you find a great tutor.
