Creative and targeted English tutor
Hello! I have two years of private tutoring experience and I’m a friendly, enthusiastic tutor wanting to help students achieve the best grades possible. I use a personalised approach in my teaching methods as no two students are the same and if I find that something isn’t working for any individual I will always change my approach to find an understanding, whether that be incorporating drawings and visual aids or providing every day examples.

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.

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 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
My child is hoping to apply to Farnborough Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the high GCSE English grades required for competitive sixth forms like Farnborough or Peter Symonds. They can focus on exam technique and specific curriculum areas to help your child's application stand out.
We live in Hook, but can my child get a tutor who has experience with Russell Group university entry?
Yes, that's a key benefit of online tutoring. You're not limited to tutors in your immediate area. You can find tutors who are graduates from or have experience helping students get into top universities like Southampton and Surrey, giving your child valuable insight and targeted support.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial for building confidence. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Is tutoring just for core academic subjects?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few tutors who have experience with your child's specific goals—like GCSEs—and sending them a message to see who feels like the best fit for your child's personality and learning style.
How much does an online English tutor in Hook cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and diagrams, and a space to upload documents like past papers or essays. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe, encouraging environment where there are no 'silly' questions. By working at your child's pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them overcome learning blocks and start to feel much more positive about their abilities in English.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson per week, as this provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, it's completely flexible. You might want to increase the frequency in the run-up to exams. You can discuss what's best for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the GCSE English course?
Definitely. Whether your child is struggling with Shakespearean language, needs help with their creative writing, or wants to improve their analysis of unseen texts, a tutor can create lessons that target those exact areas for improvement.
What makes Tutorful different from other platforms?
Parents and students often tell us they love the quality of our tutors and our supportive approach. With over 4,100 reviews rating us 4.6/5 stars, we're proud to have helped over 200,000 students feel happier and more confident in their learning.
