John H
Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ entrance exams. You can find tutors who specialise in building the exact English comprehension and verbal reasoning skills needed for the grammar school system in Horncastle. Just mention it in your requirements when you search.
We're focused on my child getting a Grade 5+ in GCSE English. Can a tutor help with this?
Definitely. This is one of the most common goals we help students achieve. Our data shows that we can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades. A tutor will work with your child on everything from essay structure to exam technique to help them secure the grade they need for their next steps.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check their experience, and see ratings and reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to chat about your child's needs before you book a lesson.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you have the best possible experience, which is 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.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, so your child and their tutor can work together just as they would in person. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one to ensure they are the best of the best. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How much does an English tutor in Horncastle cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. The cost is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden surprises.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence is at the heart of what we do. By giving your child a safe space to ask questions and master topics at their own pace, a tutor helps them see what they're truly capable of. This one-to-one encouragement often makes a bigger difference than the grades themselves.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this is usually the most effective timeframe. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor if your child would benefit from a shorter or longer session.
Is Tutorful just for school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with academic subjects from 11+ to degree level, we also have expert tutors for hobbies and personal development. Your child could learn anything from guitar or coding to a new language.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message them at any time to discuss progress and goals. Many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's attitude and confidence after just a few sessions.
What if our family schedule is really busy?
That's the great thing about online tutoring. You're not limited to tutors in your immediate area, so you have a much wider choice of days and times. It's easy to find a session that fits around school, clubs, and family life, and just as easy to reschedule if something comes up.
