My son had a few English GCSE lessons with Ian now and he’s been great. He explains things clearly, is very patient, and always gives helpful feedback. He even stays a bit longer sometimes to finish the lesson properly. Really appreciate his support!

Megan G
Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

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.

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 Transfer Test for a school like Wallace High. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ and Transfer Tests. They can focus on the exact literacy, comprehension, and reasoning skills your child will need, helping them feel calm and confident on the day.
We're aiming for a competitive course at Queen's University Belfast. Can a tutor support my child through A-Level English?
Yes. We have many specialist A-Level English tutors who are experts in the curriculum. They can help your child develop the high-level analytical and essay-writing skills needed to secure top grades and make their university application stand out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view each tutor's profile, watch their video, read reviews from other parents, and even message them directly to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and a personality that will click with your child.
How much does an online English tutor in Lisburn cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right relationship is key to learning. 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 can tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one lessons create a safe, supportive space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As they start to grasp tricky topics and see their skills improve, their confidence naturally grows, and this often has a positive impact on their other subjects too.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, so it feels just like being in the same room. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child. A session might focus on a specific school assignment, practise exam techniques for an upcoming GCSE paper, or work on strengthening a core skill like spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Your tutor will work with you and your child to set goals for each session.
How quickly will I see my child make progress?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our focused, one-to-one approach is designed to get results. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something like creative writing?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to develop their creative writing, learn to code, play the guitar, or practise public speaking, you can find an expert tutor to help them pursue their passion.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can message your child's tutor at any time to get feedback and discuss their progress. Many tutors also provide session notes and set follow-up tasks to help you stay involved and see how your child is improving.
