Rozeena J
Rozeena has been tutoring my Year 10 daughter, and she really enjoys every lesson and has made so much progress. As a teacher herself, Rozeena quickly identified the areas where my daughter needed help and tailored the lessons accordingly.
She especially helped my daughter massively with mastering her Year 10 GCSE speech writing. My daughter says Rozeena’s support and guidance have made a huge difference to her confidence and skills. Thanks again Rozeena!

Fiona H
Fiona has been an amazing tutor for my 11-year-old. She comes to every session with clear lesson plans, while still adjusting the lessons to suit my child’s needs and keeping them fun and confidence-building.
I’ve already seen a real improvement in my child’s handwriting, and their confidence has grown so much too. Fiona is always encouraging and full of praise, which really helps motivate and support learning.
She also gives fantastic feedback after each session, along with helpful things to work on during the week. I would highly recommend Fiona to anyone looking for a supportive, professional, and engaging tutor.

Deborah J
I have had Deborah as a tutor for the past 2 years and she has taken me from a low grade 6 to a comfortable grade 8, while consequently boosting my confidence as an English student. She is lively and allows teaching to be fun and enjoyable. I have gone from dreading to open an English assessment to being able to confidently walk out my past 3 English GCSE exams knowing I have given it my everything. I have learnt many notable skills as her student that I wish to take with me past Year 11. I couldn't recommend her enough! Thank you so much for these past years and I will miss our lessons.

Matthew B
My son hated English and was let down both by his school teacher and another tutor on this platform. Desperate to help my son with his English GCSE I chanced upon Matthew’s profile on Tutorful.
Matthew tutored my son for English language and literature GCSEs- and my son’s confidence in English increased exponentially.
The English GCSE exams are tomorrow and my son is for the first time confident about facing an English exam. He is in the best position that he has ever been in his entire year for English.
Can’t thank Matthew enough for his support. My son commented that he might not miss English as subject but he will miss Matthew as a teacher- because Matthew is one of the best teachers ever.
If you are looking for an English tutor for your child- look no further and I say this in all honesty.
