Hii I’m a recent Masters graduate in Drug Design at UCL. I also have a BSc in Pharmacology and Physiology with a First Class Honours. I’m a self-certified foodie and love both baking and cooking and the science behind the art. I love reading, especially thriller and horror, and as I’ve gotten older I’ve started to develop an appreciation for gardening and growing - although unfortunately I’m still quite bad at keeping plants alive.I have tutored many students in the past 6 years at different levels from 11+ to A level - they all achieved the good grades in their exams needed to progress forward i...

My son had a few English GCSE lessons with Ian now and he’s been great. He explains things clearly, is very patient, and always gives helpful feedback. He even stays a bit longer sometimes to finish the lesson properly. Really appreciate his support!

Megan G
Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

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.

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child is preparing for the Havering 11+. Can a tutor help with the specific English requirements?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience with 11+ entrance exams, including the format used in Havering. They can help your child build confidence in key areas like comprehension, verbal reasoning, and creative writing to ensure they feel prepared and ready.
We're hoping for a place at a competitive school like The Campion School. Can we find an experienced tutor?
Yes. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in school entrance exam preparation. Reading through their profiles and parent reviews can help you find someone with the right experience to support your child's application and build their core skills.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check a tutor's qualifications on their profile. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their 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.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices can vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily see each tutor's price per hour on their profile, allowing you to find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Your child's safety is our absolute priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
My child's confidence in English is low. How can a tutor help?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. A one-to-one setting provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of being judged by their peers. By celebrating small wins and breaking down difficult topics, a tutor can help them see their own progress and start to enjoy the subject again.
Can a tutor help my child with their GCSE English preparation?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors can provide fantastic support for GCSEs, helping with everything from analysing 'Macbeth' to mastering exam technique. On average, our students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades, which can make a huge difference.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is a great starting point. This allows for consistent progress without overwhelming your child. However, you can arrange a schedule that works best for you and your child directly with your tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something new?
While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we believe learning is for everyone and every interest. You can also find brilliant tutors for hobbies and life skills, from learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to mastering coding with Python.
What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring services?
We are trusted by thousands of families, with over 4,100 reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating. We focus on matching your child with a tutor they'll really connect with, because we know that the right personal support is the key to unlocking their confidence and helping them succeed.
