Emily H
Enthusiastic English Tutor
I am a qualified teacher that aims to tailor my approach to the individual student by setting clear goals and focusing on areas in which to grow confidence. I believe effective tutoring is about delivering complex concepts in simple terms with patience, encouragement and enthusiasm. Also, I believe that encouraging deep questioning on topics where there may be misunderstanding or a lack of enthusiasm is an excellent learning mechanism. Developing strong relationships with students means that parallels can be drawn between what is being studied, and the students’ own life experiences, which makes f...

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for grammar schools near Hillingdon. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can work with your child on the specific creative writing and comprehension skills needed for the exam, helping them build confidence and feel ready for the day.
We're hoping for a place at a competitive school like Vyners or Bishopshalt. Can tutoring help?
It can certainly help build the strong foundation needed. Our tutors focus on core English skills that are crucial for achieving the high GCSE grades often required for entry into competitive sixth forms. They can help your child master everything from essay writing to textual analysis.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is for your child's learning. 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Every tutor has a detailed profile where you can see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. You can also send a message to a tutor before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and see if they are a good match.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £15 to £40 per hour depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can easily filter by price on the search page to find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every UK-based tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS certificate. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, a shared whiteboard, and the ability to upload documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe and encouraging space for your child to ask questions without feeling shy. A tutor's patient guidance and personalised feedback can help them overcome challenges and start to believe in their own abilities.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something like coding or a musical instrument?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
What English topics can a tutor help with?
Our tutors can cover the entire English curriculum. This could be anything from phonics and reading for a younger child, to analysing poetry for GCSEs, or structuring complex essays for A-Levels. Just let them know what your child needs to focus on.
How many lessons will my child need a week?
This really depends on your child's goals. Most families find that one lesson a week is a great way to build momentum and see steady progress. You can discuss what's best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
How quickly will we see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Regular sessions help build knowledge and confidence over time. Many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's attitude towards learning within just a few lessons.
