Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child is preparing for the 11+ for Redbridge grammar schools like Woodford County High. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience preparing students for the competitive 11+ exams. They can focus on the key areas of verbal reasoning, comprehension, and creative writing to help your child build the skills and confidence needed to perform their best.
We're concerned about GCSE English grades limiting my child's options for A-Levels and university. Can tutoring make a difference?
It certainly can. A strong GCSE English grade is often a requirement for top sixth forms and is highly valued by universities. Our tutors can help improve your child's results by up to two grades, strengthening their academic profile and opening up more opportunities for their future studies.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to ask about their experience. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, who has a proven track record in the specific area you need help with, from 11+ preparation to A-Level literature.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget. All pricing is clearly displayed on their profile, so there are no hidden costs.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
How can tutoring help if my child lacks confidence in English?
One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic confidence booster. In a private, supportive setting, your child can ask questions without feeling self-conscious. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics into manageable steps, which helps your child feel more capable and positive about the subject.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
What qualifications do your tutors have?
Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds, including experienced teachers, examiners, and university graduates with deep subject knowledge. We carefully vet every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best tutors across the UK.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get help with coding, or even learn a new language.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to suit your child's needs.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You might want more frequent lessons in the run-up to an exam, or less frequent top-up sessions. You can discuss and agree on a schedule with your tutor.
Can I see how my child is progressing?
Yes. We encourage open communication between parents and tutors. You can message your tutor at any time to ask for feedback, and they will often provide a summary after each lesson to let you know what was covered and how your child is getting on.
