Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for Rochdale Sixth Form or Hopwood Hall?
Absolutely. This is a very common goal for parents in Heywood. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the 'strong pass' (grade 5 or above) in GCSE English that these colleges often look for. They can focus on the specific skills and exam techniques needed to help your child meet the entry requirements for their chosen A-Level courses.
My child hopes to study at a university in Manchester. How can an English tutor help?
A strong GCSE and A-Level in English is a fantastic foundation for many competitive university courses. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and writing skills that universities in Manchester value. For older students, they can even provide support with personal statement writing, which is a crucial part of the UCAS application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and qualifications, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That’s why we have 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 does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, so your child and their tutor can work through texts, practice exam questions, and share notes just as they would in person.
My child's confidence in English is low. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a supportive, patient environment, your child can ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. Celebrating small wins and building on their strengths helps them to see they *can* do it, which makes a huge difference to their confidence.
Are your tutors properly vetted?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID and qualifications verified. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the GCSE English course, like Macbeth?
Definitely. Tutors can provide targeted support on any area your child finds tricky, from analysing key quotes in Macbeth to understanding the context of An Inspector Calls or mastering poetry comparison for their exams.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects?
Not at all! While we have experts for every school subject from Primary to A-Level, you can also find tutors for musical instruments like guitar, languages, and practical skills like coding and Python.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can start looking for a tutor right away. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a few days, so your child can get the support they need quickly, especially if they have a test or exam coming up.
