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.

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for The Henley College. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE English grades?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in helping students prepare for their GCSEs. They can focus on the specific areas your child needs to improve, whether it's exam technique or understanding the marking criteria, to help them get the grades needed for their desired A-Level courses.
With such high standards at local schools, can I find a tutor experienced in helping students aim for top grades?
Definitely. You can view each tutor's full profile, including their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many of our tutors have extensive experience helping students achieve top grades (7-9) and secure places at competitive colleges and universities.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to read through tutor profiles and reviews from other parents. You can filter by experience level and subject specialism. We also recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding a great personality match for your child.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit for your child. With our 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.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Tutor prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS background check, and we've personally interviewed them to ensure they are of the highest quality.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, most of our English tutors are experienced in teaching both aspects of the curriculum. You can check their profile bios or send them a message to confirm they cover the specific texts and topics your child is studying for their GCSEs or A-Levels.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but regular one-to-one support often leads to a noticeable boost in confidence within just a few sessions. This newfound confidence is usually the first step towards academic improvement, with 90% of our students improving by at least one grade.
What if my child has a specific learning need?
Many of our tutors have experience working with students with specific learning needs, such as dyslexia or ADHD. You can use our filters to find tutors with this experience or mention it when you message them to ensure they are the right fit for your child.
Do you only offer school subjects?
While we cover all academic subjects from primary to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. So whether your child wants to learn to code, play the guitar, or improve their public speaking, we have an expert who can help.
How are lessons scheduled?
You can coordinate directly with your chosen tutor through our messaging system to find a weekly time that works for your family. Our platform makes it easy to see your schedule and manage your bookings all in one place.
