Abdul M
Passionate and Experienced English Tutor
Since the age of 17, I have been teaching Maths, English and the Sciences to members of my family as well as to students of various ages and abilities. By having a high variance in my student's abilities I am able to teach complex concepts in simple terms, this allows for the student to no longer feel anxious on a topic matter. I am offering to teach from primary all the way up to A level in various subjects. My strongest topics are the sciences and mathematics but I am also more than capable to teach English up to KS3. Furthermore, I have a vast amount of experience teaching younger children in...

I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school.

Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

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
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for Bilborough College?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the GCSE grades required for competitive post-16 providers. They can focus on the specific skills and knowledge needed to help your child meet the entry requirements and feel confident in their application.
My child is hoping to study at the University of Nottingham or Derby. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. While our tutors primarily focus on subject-specific learning for qualifications like GCSEs and A-Levels, this support is crucial for university applications. A strong academic record is key, and a tutor can also help with developing the critical thinking and essay writing skills needed for higher education.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It’s really about finding the right fit for your child’s personality and learning style. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to chat about your child's needs before booking your first session.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, 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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget. Tutors set their own rates, so you can see the cost per hour clearly on their profile with no hidden fees.
Are your tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors must have a valid DBS check and we verify their ID and references. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in every 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! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which is designed specifically for one-to-one learning. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can tutoring help my child with their confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor will celebrate their progress and help them understand that they are capable of succeeding, which can make a huge difference to their self-esteem.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects from Primary up to degree level, we also offer tutoring for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor for it here.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular lessons. The key is consistency and the tailored approach, which helps your child make steady progress week by week.
My child finds analysing poetry really difficult. Can a tutor help with that?
They certainly can. This is a perfect example of how one-to-one tutoring helps. A tutor can spend the entire session breaking down poetic techniques or exploring a specific poem your child is stuck on, giving them the time and focused attention they don't always get in a busy classroom.
How do I pay for lessons?
Paying for lessons is straightforward and secure. You add your payment details to your account, and after each lesson is completed, payment is automatically processed. You'll never need to handle cash or worry about remembering to pay.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
