Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic English Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for Lancaster Royal Grammar School. Can a tutor help my child with the 11+ English exam?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are familiar with the requirements for grammar school entrance exams. They can help your child build the specific comprehension, creative writing, and grammar skills needed to feel confident on exam day.
My child hopes to go to Lancaster University. Can tutoring help with their A-Level English?
Yes, definitely. A strong A-Level grade is key for competitive university applications. Our tutors can provide in-depth support with complex texts, essay structure, and exam technique to help your child achieve the grades they need for their first-choice university.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals—whether it’s 11+ prep or GCSE revision—to find someone who is the right fit for their personality and learning style.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID and qualifications verified before they can join Tutorful. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much does an online English tutor in Lancaster cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. All costs are shown clearly on their profiles, so there are no hidden surprises.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a secure and engaging space designed specifically for one-to-one learning.
How can tutoring help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one support. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they can rebuild your child's self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their results.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others have weekly lessons throughout the school year. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor to create a plan that works for you.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, most English tutors are experienced in both. Whether your child needs help analysing poetry for Literature or mastering persuasive writing for Language, you can find a tutor with the right expertise. Just check their profile or send them a message to confirm.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academics, your child can learn practical skills like coding or a new language, or even explore hobbies like learning to play the guitar or chess. It’s a great way to support their personal development.
What makes Tutorful different from other platforms?
