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 hopes to study at Lancaster University. Can a tutor help with their personal statement?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students craft compelling personal statements. They can guide your child on how to structure their thoughts, showcase their strengths, and write with clarity and impact, which is a vital skill for a strong university application.
We're looking for support for GCSEs at The Queen Katherine School. Can we find a tutor familiar with the curriculum?
Yes. Our tutors are experienced with all major UK exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, and OCR, which are followed by schools across Kendal. You can view each tutor's profile to see their specific experience and even message them before booking to ensure they're the perfect fit for your child's needs.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend watching tutors' introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also read reviews from other parents and use our messaging system to chat with a tutor about your child's specific goals before you book a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to success. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason it's not a good fit, just let us know. 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 prices based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile with no hidden costs or fees.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity and background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement. As their tutor helps them overcome challenges and they start to see their own progress, their self-belief naturally grows.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Our data shows that 90% of students who have regular lessons with a Tutorful tutor improve by at least one academic grade, and often more.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
The first session usually involves the tutor getting to know your child and their learning goals. After that, lessons are tailored to what your child needs most – it could be working through tricky homework, practising exam technique for an upcoming test, or focusing on a specific area like poetry analysis.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. The best way is to have an open conversation with your child's tutor. They will be happy to provide regular feedback on how your child is doing, what they've been working on, and the plan for future lessons.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to public speaking and other life skills.
