Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit for your child's personality and learning needs. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking. This helps you get a feel for their teaching style and find someone your child will connect with.
How much does an online English tutor in Hitchin cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study, but our tutors set their own rates to keep things competitive. You can easily filter by price to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.
My child attends Hitchin Boys' School, can we find a tutor familiar with their curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience with specific school curricula. You can mention your child's school when messaging tutors to find someone who has experience helping students with the same texts, exam boards, and learning objectives.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which is designed for one-to-one learning. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors is background-checked and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 can a tutor help my child with exam stress?
A tutor provides a calm, supportive space where your child can build confidence away from the pressure of the classroom. They can work on revision techniques, practise exam questions, and master tricky topics, which helps your child feel prepared and much less anxious.
Can a tutor help my child with their English requirements for North Hertfordshire College?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in helping students prepare for further education. They can help your child with the specific English skills needed for their application, whether that's brushing up on GCSE-level grammar or developing essay-writing techniques.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed for progress. Because each lesson focuses on your child's specific needs, they can cover ground much faster than in a group setting. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What happens in a typical one-to-one English lesson?
The tutor will tailor the session to your child's goals. It might involve going over homework, preparing for an upcoming test, analysing a difficult text together on the interactive whiteboard, or practising a specific skill like persuasive writing. It's all about what your child needs most at that moment.
Can tutoring help my child build confidence, not just grades?
Definitely. For many parents, seeing their child's confidence grow is the most important outcome. Having a tutor who champions their efforts and helps them understand things they once found difficult can have a huge positive impact on their self-esteem in and out of school.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something like creative writing?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have expert tutors who can teach skills like creative writing, public speaking, coding, or even learning a musical instrument.
