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...

Effective English tutor
Hello my name is Alina, and I’m a dentistry student. I have excellent A levels and GCSE grades being an A* student and have had tutoring experience before with children aged 5-17 years old. My students have always loved my lessons as I make sure that each child understands the lesson or what they have chosen to work on before leaving.My teaching style is unique as rather telling the students what they’re doing today, they themselves would email me a couple of days before telling me they want to do this topic today. This meant that the student has control of their own learning and working on the...

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).

Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Holly has been a fantastic tutor for my daughter, Anissa. She is patient, encouraging and explains things in a clear and supportive way.
Since starting lessons with Holly, Anissa’s confidence has grown noticeably, and she feels much more comfortable and positive in her learning. She really enjoys the sessions and speaks very warmly about Holly — she genuinely loves learning with her.

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.
