Flora I
Flora is a very patient, professional and well-prepared tutor. She always explains things clearly and teaches my son how to answer GCSE questions in a structured way. She provides homework, goes through mistakes carefully, and shows him how to improve his answers step by step. She also adjusts her teaching according to my son’s exam boards and level. My son is less anxious about English now and is slowly gaining confidence. We are very happy with her support and would definitely recommend her.
She is especially good at supporting students who are weaker in English and need clear guidance and structure.

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to a competitive sixth form like Harris Academy Clapham. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students prepare for entry into competitive sixth forms. They can focus on developing the advanced analytical and writing skills needed to achieve the grade 8s and 9s that make an application stand out.
We're aiming for a Russell Group university. How can an English tutor help with that long-term goal?
A top grade in English GCSE is a vital stepping stone. Our tutors help build the foundational skills in critical thinking and communication that are essential for A-Levels and are highly valued by top universities. They can help your child learn how to think, analyse and write like a top-tier student.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial. 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute chat so you can talk to them about your child's specific needs and goals before booking a lesson.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check, and we've personally interviewed and vetted them to ensure they are of the highest quality. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find an expert who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help improve my child's confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As they start to master tricky topics and see their grades improve, their self-belief and confidence will naturally grow.
My child finds analysing Shakespeare really difficult. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is a perfect example of how tutoring can help. A tutor can dedicate entire sessions to breaking down difficult texts, exploring themes, and building your child's confidence in understanding and writing about complex literature.
What exam boards do your English tutors cover?
Our tutors have experience with all the major UK exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, and OCR. You can see which exam boards a tutor specialises in on their profile or ask them directly during a free 15-minute chat.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange lessons as often as you and your child feel is necessary with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond core subjects like English and Maths, your child can learn anything from a new language to coding, playing the guitar, or even public speaking.
