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 hopes to study A-Levels at Ysgol Treffynnon. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve their target grades for entry into sixth form and college. They can focus specifically on the areas of the English curriculum your child finds most challenging, helping them build the skills and confidence needed to secure their place.
We're looking at courses at Coleg Cambria or universities like Chester. How can an English tutor support this goal?
A tutor can be a huge help. Beyond improving their GCSE grade, they work on the core communication and analytical skills that universities value. They can also help with personal statement writing and building the confidence to articulate ideas clearly – all vital for applications and future studies.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask questions before booking. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, who has experience in the specific area you need help with, like GCSE English Literature.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know how important the right fit is, 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 online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of demand. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, so you can find an option that fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child just needs a laptop or computer with a microphone, a camera, and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform is background-checked and their references are verified. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor makes a world of difference. In a private setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As they start to grasp tricky concepts and see their work improve, their self-belief naturally grows.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature GCSEs?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experts in both parts of the GCSE curriculum. They can help your child get to grips with everything from analysing Shakespeare and poetry to perfecting their creative and persuasive writing skills. You can check their profile to see their specialisms.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session per week is ideal for consistent progress, especially in the run-up to exams. However, you are completely free to arrange a schedule that works best for your child with your chosen tutor.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
We understand that life happens! You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 12 hours' notice to avoid being charged for the session.
Do you offer tutoring for other subjects or skills besides English?
Yes, we do. We have expert tutors across over 300 subjects, from Maths and Science to French and History. We also offer support for practical skills like learning to play the guitar, coding, or even public speaking.
