Kader (tony) B
I have been tutoring English for the last 25 years.
I have in particular come to understand the value of sharing learning objectives and success criteria with children. Knowing exactly what is expected and how they can achieve allows children to focus more clearly on tasks.Progression needs to be planned for, so that as children work and explore at their own pace, there is always something else ready to move them on and take them further in their learning. I also believe that differentiation and meeting varied learning styles are key to effective teaching and learning. Work should be set at an appropriate, but challenging, level. When I prepare...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for a Lincolnshire grammar school. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience with the 11+ entrance exams, including the verbal and non-verbal reasoning components. You can check each tutor's profile for their expertise or use our search filters to find someone who specialises in 11+ preparation.
We're aiming for a competitive sixth form like The Priory Academy LSST. Can a tutor help with GCSE English grades?
Yes. A tutor can provide focused support to help your child achieve the grades they need. They can work on everything from exam technique to understanding specific texts, giving your child the best chance of securing their place. We've found we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read reviews from other parents, watch introductory videos to get a feel for a tutor's personality, and message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step to success.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits your budget.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check before they can teach on our platform. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first 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 online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it gives a child. Having a supportive expert guide them in a friendly, low-pressure environment helps them feel more capable and positive about their learning, which often has a great impact on their schoolwork.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects, we also have brilliant tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn creative writing, public speaking, coding, or even how to play the guitar, you can find an expert tutor to help them pursue their passion.
How are tutors selected by Tutorful?
We have a strict selection process to ensure your child learns from the best. We interview every applicant and verify their ID and qualifications. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform, so you can have complete confidence in their expertise.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child's needs. A tutor might start by reviewing homework, then move on to a new topic like analysing a poem or planning an essay. They use the interactive whiteboard to work through examples together, ensuring your child understands before moving on. The focus is always on your child's specific goals.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's work?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our experience shows that consistent, personalised support makes a real difference. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions, and 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
