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
My child is at Irlam and Cadishead Academy. Can a tutor help them get the grades needed for Salford City College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the specific GCSE grades needed for college entry. They can focus on the exact areas of the English curriculum your child needs to strengthen to meet the requirements for A-Level pathways at colleges like Salford City College or Winstanley College.
We're worried about the step up to A-Levels. Can a tutor help with that transition?
Yes, they can. A tutor can help bridge the gap between GCSE and A-Level English by introducing your child to the more advanced analytical and essay-writing skills they'll need. This can make the transition feel much smoother and more manageable.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific goals. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. 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?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has undergone a thorough background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to ensure the highest quality and safety.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one lessons create a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. As they start to understand difficult topics and see their marks improve, their self-belief and confidence naturally grow.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
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 depth without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach a wide range of other skills. From learning to code in Python to mastering the guitar or learning a new language, there's a huge variety to explore.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can start very quickly. Many tutors can offer a lesson within a few days of you getting in touch. Just find a tutor you like and send them a message to arrange a time that works for you both.
How many students have used Tutorful?
You're in good company! Over 200,000 happy students have used Tutorful to achieve their learning goals. We're proud to have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 customer reviews.
