Lina H
Professional and inspiring English and English tutor
Maths is usually the subject students struggle with most at school mainly due to the lack of individual help during lessons. Students often don’t ask for help when faced with a topic they find hard and so they develop gaps in their learning, which in itself become problematic later on. In my opinion the first objective of private tutoring in maths should be to systematically deal with those gaps, which are usually identified within the first couple of lessons. Once the gaps are covered, we can then proceed to cover the necessary course material based on individual requirements.I have extensive e...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child hopes to apply to a competitive London university like UCL or King's. Can a tutor help with this?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are graduates from top universities themselves and have extensive experience helping students develop the high-level analytical and writing skills needed for competitive applications. They can help your child craft a compelling personal statement and prepare for the academic rigour of university-level study.

We're aiming for a top sixth form in the Highbury area. Can we find a tutor experienced with this?

Yes, you can. When you search, you can view tutors' profiles which detail their experience, including helping students meet the entry requirements for competitive sixth forms. Many have specific knowledge of what local colleges are looking for and can tailor lessons to help your child meet and exceed those standards.

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 for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.

How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?

Our search filters make it easy. You can browse tutors by their experience, what they specialise in (like GCSE literature or A-Level language), and read reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their short intro videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style before sending them a message.

How can online tutoring help my child with GCSE English specifically?

A tutor can provide targeted support for the specific demands of the GCSE English curriculum. They can help your child deconstruct complex poems, practise exam techniques for analysing unseen texts, and perfect their essay writing for set texts like 'Macbeth' or 'An Inspector Calls'. This focused help is why our GCSE students often improve by up to two grades.

Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has undergone a thorough background check. We also interview every applicant and, as a result, only 1 in 8 who apply are accepted onto Tutorful.

How much does an online English tutor in Highbury cost?

The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?

One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor works wonders for confidence. When your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement, they start to see progress. Celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics, like analysing Shakespearean language, helps them realise they are far more capable than they thought.

Is tutoring only for core school subjects like English?

Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects from primary level through to university, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for learning a musical instrument like the guitar, mastering a coding language like Python, or even developing a new hobby.

What technology do we need for online lessons?

It's simple. All you need is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has everything your child needs, including an interactive whiteboard, so there's no extra software to download.

How long are the online tutoring sessions?

Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.

How do I pay for lessons?

Payments are simple and secure. Once you've completed a lesson, payment is made automatically through our platform using your saved card details. You'll only ever be charged after a lesson has taken place.
