Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Nikolaus T
Lovely tutor, very helpful and concise with the additional support, as well as making sure I was confident on the topics we discussed. Very interactive and informative with making sure my thesis and essay writing structure was at a highest level it could be, gave me a really good insight into top band essay skills that I will be using from now on!!

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at a grammar school like Sullivan Upper. Can I find a tutor experienced with the AQE and GL Transfer Tests?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in entrance exams, including the AQE and GL Transfer Tests common in Northern Ireland. You can check their profiles for specific experience, read reviews from other parents, and even message them before booking to ensure they’re the right fit to help your child prepare.
Are the tutors familiar with the CCEA curriculum used in Northern Ireland?
Yes. Our tutors come from all over the UK and many have specific experience with the CCEA curriculum for GCSE and A-Level English. You can use our search filters to find tutors who mention CCEA in their profile, ensuring your child gets support that's perfectly aligned with what they're learning in school.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right relationship is key to learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or music theory?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum! While we have fantastic tutors for English, Maths, and Science, you can also find experts in everything from coding and guitar to foreign languages and art. It's a great way for your child to explore new interests and skills.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
We make it easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read detailed tutor profiles, and see reviews from other parents just like you. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals – whether it's exam prep or confidence-building – to find someone you both feel comfortable with.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly 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 have complete flexibility and control over your budget.
How do you ensure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our highest priority. Every single tutor is background-checked, and we verify their ID. We also have a rigorous application process, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and engaging. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a tool for sharing documents. It means your child and their tutor can work through exam papers, analyse texts, and plan essays together in real-time, just as they would in person.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
This is one of the most important things a tutor can do. By providing patient, one-to-one attention in a supportive space, a tutor helps your child work at their own pace. They can ask questions without feeling embarrassed, celebrate small wins, and gradually rebuild their self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their schoolwork overall.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no single answer – it completely depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly lessons to build their skills over time. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor to create a plan that works for you.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. The best way is to have regular chats with your child's tutor. They can provide feedback on what they've been working on, highlight areas of improvement, and suggest what to focus on next. This partnership between you, your child, and the tutor is key to their success.
What if our family schedule is really busy?
That's one of the main benefits of online tutoring! You can find tutors available at times that suit you, including evenings and weekends. There's no travel time involved, making it much easier to fit quality, one-to-one learning into a packed family schedule.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
