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 aiming for a top London university like UCL or LSE. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are graduates from top universities themselves and have extensive experience helping students with the analytical and writing skills needed for competitive applications. They can help your child learn to articulate their ideas with clarity and confidence, which is a huge advantage.
We're in King's Cross and the local school competition is fierce. Can a tutor help my child stand out?
Yes, this is a common goal for parents we support. A tutor can provide one-to-one attention to strengthen your child's specific areas of weakness in English, from comprehension skills to creative writing. This personalised support helps build the solid foundation they need to feel confident and perform their best in entrance exams or school assessments.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is important. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is identity and background-checked with an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend finding someone whose teaching style and experience match your child's needs and personality. You can even message tutors for free before booking to make sure it's the right fit.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence in English?
Often, a lack of confidence comes from small gaps in understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor celebrates small wins and builds on their strengths, which can transform how they feel about a subject.
How much does an English tutor in King's Cross cost?
Our English tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
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. It's designed to be simple and engaging, allowing your child and their tutor to focus on learning.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one session a week, which helps build momentum and allows time to practise between lessons. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent lessons during exam periods or less frequent top-up sessions as needed.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also see their confidence and understanding grow in their schoolwork. We've found that 90% of students improve by at least one grade, which is a great measure of the impact tutoring can have.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond core academic subjects, your child can learn anything from coding and music production to playing the guitar. It's a great way to explore new hobbies and passions with an expert guide.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Sessions are typically 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 directly with your tutor if needed.
