Sophie C
Experienced English English Literature and Language tutor.
Hello! My name is Sophie and I graduated from Durham University in English Literature in June 2024. I decided to study English Literature at university because I've always loved reading books and discussing them at length. Reading and analysing books gives us a better understanding of the world we operate within, human psychology, and the past. Outside of English, I love to draw, knit, and embroider. I also come from a big family, so I love spending time with them when we are together. I grew up internationally and lived in several countries before finally moving back to the UK.I also write my...

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
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grades needed for Launceston College or Callywith?
Absolutely. Many parents in Launceston share this goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades like a 6 or 7, which are often required for popular A-Level courses. They can focus on exam technique, essay structure, and analysing texts to help your child meet the entry requirements for competitive sixth forms.
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Exeter. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, they can. While our main focus is on school-level subjects, many of our English tutors have experience helping students with their personal statements for university applications. They can provide valuable feedback to help your child articulate their strengths and stand out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find a great match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check qualifications on each tutor's profile. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to ensure you find the perfect fit.
How much does online English tutoring cost in Launceston?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £20. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check. We are very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. There's an interactive whiteboard for working through problems together, video chat, and a tool for sharing documents like past papers or essays. It's a simple and effective way to learn from home.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Sometimes, all a child needs is a space where they feel comfortable saying 'I don't understand'. In a one-to-one lesson, the tutor's entire focus is on your child. This patient, personal support helps them build confidence, ask questions freely, and make real progress.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How often should my child have lessons?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most families start with one hour-long lesson per week. You can easily discuss what's best with your chosen tutor, whether it's a weekly top-up or more intensive support before an exam.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have expert tutors for core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have tutors who can teach your child skills like coding, playing the guitar, a new language, or even music production. There's something for everyone.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can start very quickly. Many tutors reply to messages within a few hours. Once you've found the right match and agreed on a time, you can book your first lesson and be ready to go in just a day or two.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
It's simple. We have a 24-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can cancel or reschedule a lesson without any charge. You can manage all your bookings through your Tutorful account.
