Lee N
Lee has been a great tutor for our 15-year-old son, Leo. He’s really helped him with structuring his essays and breaking things down in a way that makes it much easier for Leo to understand and apply in his school work.
What’s made the biggest difference though is Lee himself. He has a really great personality and a relaxed way of teaching that puts Leo at ease straight away. Leo feels comfortable being himself in the sessions, which means he’s much more open to asking questions and having a go.
Since starting with Lee, Leo’s confidence with English has grown a lot and he’s actually started enjoying the subject again. The support and encouragement Lee gives has been really valuable for him in preparation for his GCSE's.

She’s easy to reach and is happy to chat with parents about progress and the ways we can support learning at home. My son enjoys her teaching and is happy to add one more lesson a week with Flora. I’d gladly recommend her to others looking for a solid tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Knowsley Community College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure that crucial Grade 4 or 5 in GCSE English. They can focus on exam technique, understanding the mark scheme, and building core skills to help your child meet the entry requirements for local colleges and apprenticeships.
We live in Knowsley, does the tutor have to be local?
No, and that's the great thing about online tutoring! Your child can connect with the best English tutors from across the UK, not just those in the local area. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists who can match your child's specific learning style and needs.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect match for your child. If you don't get on with your tutor in the first session for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. It's part of our First Lesson Guarantee.
Is this just for school subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have said in their reviews. We recommend messaging a few tutors to explain your child's goals. Finding someone your child gets on with is the most important first step.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors on our site by price to find someone who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and supportive space where your child can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. This personal attention helps them overcome hurdles at their own pace, and seeing their own progress is the best confidence booster there is.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and provided professional references. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions last for one hour, as this is usually the most effective length of time to keep students engaged. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
What happens in an online lesson?
Our online classroom has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space for sharing documents. Tutors use these tools to create engaging, tailored lessons. It means your child can work through an essay, analyse a text, or practise grammar in real-time with their tutor's guidance.
How quickly can we start?
You can often find and book a tutor for your child's first lesson within 24-48 hours. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute video chat so you can get to know them before you commit to a lesson.
Do I need any special equipment for online tutoring?
All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and runs directly in your web browser, so there's no software to install.
