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
My child wants to go to Winstanley College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the grades needed for competitive post-16 courses. They can focus on the specific skills and exam techniques required to achieve a grade 5 or above in GCSE English, giving your child the best chance of meeting the entry requirements for colleges like Winstanley or Wigan & Leigh.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in Hindley schools?
While our tutors are based across the UK, they are all experts in the national curriculum for England (covering AQA, Edexcel, etc.) that your child's school will follow. They have extensive experience helping students with the exact texts, exam formats, and marking criteria they'll face in their GCSEs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for your child's confidence and progress. 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.
Do you only offer help for core school subjects?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Whether your child is interested in learning a musical instrument like the guitar, a new language, or even coding, you can find an expert tutor on Tutorful.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute chat so you can talk to them first to make sure they're a good match for your child's personality and learning needs.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one attention in a safe space makes a huge difference. Tutors can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and adapt their teaching style to your child. This personalised support helps them feel understood and capable, which is often the key to unlocking their confidence.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity and background check, before they can teach on our platform.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom has all the tools your child and their tutor will need, including an interactive whiteboard, so there's no complex software to install.
Can tutoring help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, definitely. You can find tutors who specialise in one or both. Whether your child needs help with creative writing for Language or analysing poetry for Literature, you can find a tutor with the right expertise to support them.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress, especially in the run-up to exams. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange lessons with your tutor as frequently as you feel your child needs them.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most sessions 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 tutor to find what works best for your child.
