Hadika M
Dedicated English tutor
As a Chemical Engineering graduate from the University of Manchester, I saw firsthand how many of my classmates struggled with Maths and English. It wasn't just a few; it was a common challenge. Seeing their difficulties sparked something in me. I found that I genuinely loved helping them understand concepts that seemed confusing. The feeling of watching them grasp a difficult idea was incredibly rewarding, and that's when I discovered my passion for teaching.I strongly disagree with the idea that people are naturally "good" at one subject and "bad" at another. I believe that anyone can learn anything...

Kathy F
Creative English tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior).

Mamun A
My son has just started with Mamun, so far I am very happy. At first, my son was finding it a bit difficult to understand him, but when I expected it to Mamun he was very nice about it, and he did exactly what I wanted.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form like GSAL. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child achieve the top GCSE grades needed for entry. They can focus on exam technique, essay writing, and strengthening any areas of the curriculum your child finds tricky, building their confidence for the challenge ahead.
We're hoping for the University of Leeds. How can A-Level English tutoring improve their chances?
Success at A-Level English requires a big step up in analytical and essay-writing skills. A tutor can work with your child to develop this deeper level of thinking, helping them craft sophisticated arguments that will not only secure a top grade but also make their university application stand out.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is so important. 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's specific needs. Many tutors are specialists in certain areas, like GCSE exam preparation or A-Level literary analysis, so you can find the perfect expert.
How much does online English tutoring cost in Leeds?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can browse tutors' profiles to see their individual rates, with prices starting from £15 per hour. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child with their GCSE English exams?
Our tutors can help your child master everything from analysing 'Macbeth' to perfecting their creative writing. They provide focused, one-to-one support that can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to two grades.
Are your tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single applicant. We're very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
My child has lost their confidence in English. How can tutoring help?
A one-to-one environment can work wonders for confidence. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement, helping them to rebuild their self-belief at their own pace.
How does the online classroom work?
It's a simple, all-in-one system with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It’s designed to be easy to use, allowing your child and their tutor to focus on learning. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something like creative writing?
While we cover all academic subjects, we have many tutors who are experts in other areas too. You can definitely find specialist tutors who can help your child explore their passion for creative writing, poetry, or public speaking.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are one hour long. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths by messaging the tutor directly.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a regular weekly lesson works best for consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange lessons as often as you feel your child needs them, whether that's a one-off session before an exam or ongoing weekly support.
