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!

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 preparing for the 11+ for grammar schools in Chelmsford or Colchester. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for many families we help. You can find experienced tutors who specialise in 11+ preparation, focusing on the specific creative writing and comprehension skills needed for these competitive exams. You can even filter for tutors with this experience or mention it when you message them.
Are your tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in Essex schools?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience supporting students across the Essex curriculum, from primary through to A-Level. When you view a tutor's profile, you can see their experience and qualifications, and you can always message them to ask about their familiarity with your child's specific schoolwork.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to look at their profiles. You can see their video, read about their experience, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to explain your child's needs. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important thing.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Confidence often grows from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions and work at their own pace without the pressure of a full classroom. When a topic finally 'clicks', it's a huge boost, and our tutors are brilliant at celebrating those small wins.
How much does an English tutor cost in Ingatestone?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find a great match that fits your family's budget.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s simple to use and means your child can learn from an expert tutor from the comfort of your home.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check before they can teach on our platform. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
My child needs help with GCSE English. Can you help with that too?
Yes, of course. We have a huge number of tutors who specialise in GCSE English, for both Language and Literature. They can help your child get to grips with everything from analysing 'Macbeth' to perfecting their exam technique. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Is tutoring just for core subjects like English and Maths?
Not at all! While core subjects are very popular, our tutors offer lessons in over 300 subjects. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument, try coding, or get help with their university application, you can find an expert tutor to help.
How long are the lessons?
Lessons are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life can be unpredictable, we get it. We have a simple 24-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can reschedule your lesson for a more convenient time without any charge.
