Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

Hi Myles,
I just wanted to send you a heartfelt thank-you for the English lessons you gave my son. After only three sessions with you, he managed to pass — and we couldn’t be happier! He really enjoyed your lessons and said you made everything easy to understand and enjoyable.I truly appreciate the time, patience, and encouragement you gave him. It’s made a huge difference to his confidence and attitude toward English. Thanks again for all your help — we’re both very grateful!

Amazing tutor! I went from a weak grade 3 in English Language to being just one mark off a 6. Lessons were clear, supportive, and really boosted my confidence. I couldn’t have done it without their help and would 100% recommend.

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child has their heart set on Reigate College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in helping students secure the grades needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific skills and exam techniques required to help your child feel confident and prepared to meet the entry requirements.
Are your English tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in Horley schools?
Yes. Our tutors are experienced with the national curriculum, including the AQA, Edexcel, and OCR exam boards used by schools across the country. They can tailor their support to the specific texts and topics your child is studying for their GCSEs.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat so you can get to know them and discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson.
How much does online English tutoring cost in Horley?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents, making it easy for your child to collaborate with their tutor just as they would in person.
My child's confidence in English is low. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Our tutors create a patient and encouraging environment where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. Rebuilding that self-belief is a key part of helping them succeed.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have had their ID verified and have undergone a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join us.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that a regular weekly session works best to build momentum and see consistent progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works for you directly with your tutor.
Can I track my child's progress?
Of course. Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message them directly through the platform to discuss progress and ask any questions you might have.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than English?
Yes! We have expert tutors for over 300 subjects, from Maths and Science to French and History. Whatever subject your child needs help with, we're here to support them.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We believe in learning for life! Beyond academic subjects, our tutors can help your child learn practical and creative skills like coding, playing the guitar, public speaking, and much more.
