I tutor English; English English
I have always had a passion for English language and literature, and want to be able to share my experiences and understanding of the language so that young people are better equipped to communicate and clear and engaging ways as they approach the middle of the 21st-century.
I have run well resourced, engaging, inspiring, and thoughtful focused sessions with numerous duties over the last 11 years. Many students come to me with a seeming lack of interest in English, and I believe my sessions have helped ignite the curiosity and passion required for the higher grades at GCSE and A-level.I will guide...

Flora I
Flora is patient and takes the time to ensure my child understands concepts properly before moving on. She always comes well prepared, communicates effectively with my son, and explains things clearly. She also takes time to prepare homework assignments and resource materials to reinforce learning.
She’s easy to reach and is happy to chat with parents about progress and the ways we can support learning at home. My son enjoys her teaching and is happy to add one more lesson a week with Flora. I’d gladly recommend her to others looking for a solid tutor.

Gearoid C
Gearoid supported my son with GCSE English during a key transition period in Year 11. My son had moved schools and was adjusting to a different GCSE specification, which had left noticeable gaps in his knowledge. Gearoid helped him bridge those gaps methodically and clarified the expectations of the exam board.
From the very first session, there was a shift in confidence. My son came out saying, “So I’m not stupid.” Over time, that developed into him saying he “felt clever.” For a student who can struggle with processing speed and exam anxiety, this was a significant and meaningful change.
Gearoid is calm, professional and thoughtful in his approach. He communicates clearly, is reliable, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. I am grateful for the role he played in rebuilding both understanding and belief.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for The Crypt School or Sir Thomas Rich's. Can I find a tutor with experience in the Gloucestershire Grammar School Entrance Test?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ and entrance exam preparation. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in the Gloucestershire test, verbal reasoning, and reading comprehension to give your child the focused support they need.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in Innsworth schools?
While our tutors are based across the UK, they are all experts in the National Curriculum. Many have specific experience with the exam boards and learning goals relevant to schools in Gloucestershire and can tailor their approach to what your child is learning in the classroom.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to read tutor profiles, check their qualifications, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs, like preparing for the grammar school entrance exam, to ensure they're a great fit.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to success. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, 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?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.
How can an online tutor help my child with their reading comprehension?
A tutor can work one-to-one with your child on specific techniques to break down difficult texts, understand context, and identify key information. They can use practice papers and targeted exercises to build your child's confidence and speed, which is especially helpful for timed exams.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We also personally interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, ensuring your child is learning from experienced and trusted professionals.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for drawing and sharing notes, and a document editor. It’s a secure and engaging space for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
My child is losing confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. A great tutor creates a patient and positive learning space where your child feels safe to make mistakes and ask questions, which helps them rebuild their self-belief.
How many lessons will my child need to prepare for their exam?
This really depends on your child's starting point and their goals. Some students just need a few sessions to polish their exam technique, while others benefit from regular weekly lessons over several months. You can discuss a plan with your chosen tutor during your first session.
Is this just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academics like English, Maths, and Science, your child can learn a musical instrument like the guitar, a new language, or even practical skills like coding. There's a tutor for almost any interest.
