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.

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.
