Holly E
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 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 has their heart set on Greenhead College. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the high grades needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus specifically on the skills and knowledge required to target a grade 7, 8, or 9 in GCSE English, strengthening your child's application.
We're hoping for a Russell Group university like Leeds or Sheffield. How can an English tutor help now?
A strong GCSE in English is a vital stepping stone for a top university application. A tutor helps build a solid foundation of critical thinking and analytical skills that are essential for A-Levels and beyond. Securing a great grade now keeps their options open for the future.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and a short video introduction. Reading reviews from other parents is also a great way to get a feel for their teaching style. You can even message them for free before booking to ensure they're a perfect match.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is 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 much does an English tutor in Holmfirth cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from £15. The price is based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity and background check, before they can start teaching.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tuition provides a safe, encouraging environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As they start to grasp difficult topics and see their skills improve, their confidence naturally grows, both in the subject and in themselves.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might work through past paper questions with your child, help them plan an essay, or break down a complex text together.
Can a tutor help with both GCSE English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experts in both parts of the GCSE curriculum. You can check their profiles or message them directly to confirm they cover the specific exam board and texts your child is studying.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families opt for one hour-long lesson per week, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child and their goals, whether that's regular weekly support or a few intensive sessions before an exam.
Is this just for academic subjects like English and Maths?
While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for modern languages, musical instruments like guitar and piano, and even practical skills like coding.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress and the topics they've been covering in lessons. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
