Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

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.

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.
