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 is at Hornsea School and Language College. Can a tutor help them specifically with their GCSE English?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very familiar with the GCSE curriculum taught at schools like Hornsea School and Language College. They can focus on the specific texts, exam boards, and skills your child needs to master to feel confident and prepared for their exams.
We're hoping our child gets into a competitive college in Beverley or Hull. Can a tutor help with this goal?
Yes, that's a common goal for many parents we help. A tutor can work with your child to strengthen their understanding and exam technique, aiming for the strong GCSE grade needed for entry into competitive colleges. It's all about building a solid foundation for their next steps.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. 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.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Think about your child's personality and what they need help with – whether it's exam technique or understanding poetry – and look for a tutor whose experience matches that.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor will create a positive, encouraging space where your child feels safe to ask questions and make mistakes. Rebuilding that self-belief is often the first step to improving their grades.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a DBS background check, before they can join our platform.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can easily see the cost per hour on each tutor's 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 and secure. Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with specific texts, like 'An Inspector Calls' or poetry?
Yes! That's the beauty of personalised tutoring. If your child is finding a particular Shakespeare play, a set of poems, or a novel challenging, their tutor can dedicate entire lessons to breaking it down, analysing key quotes, and building their understanding.
How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Most lessons are an hour long, which is usually enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. Many parents start with one lesson a week, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child and their tutor.
What results can I realistically expect?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our goal is to help them make clear progress. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. It's an approach trusted by thousands of families, reflected in our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews.
Is it just for core subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects, we also offer lessons in a huge range of other skills! From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to getting to grips with coding, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
