* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

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 hopes to get into Exeter College. Can a tutor help them secure the right English GCSE grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and have a great track record of helping students achieve the grades needed for their chosen A-Level courses. They can focus on specific areas of the syllabus to build your child's confidence and exam technique.
We're in the Honiton area and know the standards at schools like Colyton Grammar are high. Can we find a tutor experienced with helping students aim for top grades?
Yes. You can use our filters to find tutors with experience helping students achieve grades 7-9. Many have helped students gain places at selective schools and top universities, so they understand what's required to stand out.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles to learn about their experience, teaching style, and what other parents have said about them. We recommend messaging a few tutors to chat about your child's specific goals before booking to ensure you find the perfect fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to success. 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.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs. You only pay for the lessons you book.
How do you vet your tutors?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed, has their ID checked, and undergoes a background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
Can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons parents seek a tutor. The one-to-one support in a safe, encouraging environment can do wonders for a child's confidence. Tutors can go back over topics your child may have missed, helping them feel capable and ready to participate in class again.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has features like a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and screen sharing. Your child and their tutor can work on texts, practice essays, and review homework together in real-time.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn creative writing, public speaking, coding, or even how to play the guitar, we can help.
How long will my child need a tutor for?
This completely depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly sessions throughout the school year. You can discuss this with your chosen tutor, and there's no long-term commitment.
What equipment 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 is browser-based, so there's no software to download.
How are lessons paid for?
Payments are handled securely through the platform. You add your card details to your account, and you are only charged 24 hours after each lesson is complete. It's a simple, cashless system.
