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 preparing for the 11+ for the grammar schools in Torquay and Plymouth. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. This is a very common reason parents in Kingsbridge come to us. You can find tutors who specialise in 11+ preparation, focusing specifically on the verbal reasoning, comprehension, and creative writing skills your child will need to feel confident and prepared for the exam.
We're thinking ahead to GCSEs at Kingsbridge Community College. Can a tutor help my child aim for top grades to get into a university like Exeter?
Yes, many of our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the higher grades at GCSE. They can provide targeted support with everything from essay writing and exam technique to analysing specific set texts, helping your child build the skills needed to create a strong university application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles, watch introductory videos, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few tutors and sending them a message to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding a great personality match.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child just needs a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection. It's a convenient and effective way to learn from home.
Are your tutors properly vetted?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and has their ID and qualifications checked. They also undergo an enhanced DBS background check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you just pay for the lessons you book.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
My child has lost confidence in English. Can tutoring help with that?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. In a supportive, private setting, your child can ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. Tutors are brilliant at building self-esteem by celebrating small wins and breaking down difficult topics, which often makes the biggest difference.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our experience shows that consistent, personalised support makes a real impact. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Can we get help with a specific book or topic, like GCSE poetry?
Of course. That's the beauty of one-to-one tutoring. If your child is struggling with a particular area, like analysing unseen poetry or understanding a specific Shakespeare play, the tutor can dedicate entire lessons to that topic until your child feels secure.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session a week is a great rhythm for consistent progress, but you can arrange whatever frequency works best for you and your child with your tutor. It's completely flexible.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or music?
While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have experts in hundreds of other areas. Your child could learn anything from coding in Python and Spanish to playing the guitar, all on the same platform.
