All Levels of English! KS3, GCSE, FS, A-Level English
My lessons will be led by and expertly crafted to you. I bring a wealth of teaching experience from secondary schools, primary schools, university teaching and even teaching in prison; I am yet to meet a learner I cannot inspire and thrive alongside. I had a bumpy start to my educational journey, struggling with reading and writing and I had a general hatred towards education as a whole, truly believing it 'wasn't for me'. Fast forward, and I found the recipe for achieving 12 A-A* GCSE'S, 4 A-A* A-Levels and a BA and MA from the University of Cambridge. I will help you find your learning style,...

Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Holly has been a fantastic tutor for my daughter, Anissa. She is patient, encouraging and explains things in a clear and supportive way.
Since starting lessons with Holly, Anissa’s confidence has grown noticeably, and she feels much more comfortable and positive in her learning. She really enjoys the sessions and speaks very warmly about Holly — she genuinely loves learning with her.
We’ve been very pleased with the progress so far and would highly recommend Holly to other families looking for a caring and effective tutor.

He quickly built a strong rapport with my daughter, putting her at ease, and she is really enjoying the lessons and getting a lot out of them.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the Kent Test. Can I find a tutor with 11+ experience?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are familiar with the demands of the Kent Test. You can check their profiles for specific experience, read reviews from other parents, and even message them before booking to ensure they are the right fit to help your child build the comprehension and vocabulary skills they need.
We're aiming for a place at The Folkestone School for Girls or The Harvey Grammar School. Can a tutor help with this specific goal?
Yes, they can. While we can't guarantee a place, our tutors are brilliant at building the core English skills and confidence needed to perform well in entrance exams. They can help your child feel prepared and calm on the day by focusing on exam technique, time management, and strengthening any areas of weakness.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects from the 11+ right through to degree level, we also have experts who can help your child learn a new skill or hobby. You can find tutors for everything from coding and learning a musical instrument to public speaking.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can start by using the filters on our search page to narrow down tutors by price and availability. Reading their profiles and parent reviews is a great way to get a feel for their teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before you book a lesson.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an excellent tutor who fits within your family's budget.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process and accept only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must pass an identity check and provide a valid DBS background check, and we also verify their qualifications to ensure they are experts in their field.
Can online tutoring really help my child's confidence?
Yes, it's one of the biggest benefits we see. The one-to-one attention in a supportive, non-judgmental space allows your child to ask questions they might be shy about in class. As they start to understand difficult topics, their self-belief grows, which often has a positive impact on their schoolwork in general.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom, which includes an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might work through a comprehension exercise with your child on the whiteboard, help them structure an essay, or use practice questions to prepare for an upcoming test. Every lesson is tailored to your child's goals.
How long are the sessions and how often should we have them?
Most sessions are an hour long, which is usually a good amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. Many parents find a weekly lesson works best, but the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange what works for your child and your family directly with your chosen tutor.
What equipment do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or desktop computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to download.
How do I track my child's progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on how your child is doing. You can also message them at any time to ask questions or discuss their progress. Open communication is a key part of the partnership between you, your child, and their tutor.
