Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

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 schools like Spalding Grammar. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can create a tailored plan for your child, focusing on the key areas of the Verbal Reasoning and English papers, such as vocabulary building, comprehension techniques, and exam strategy, to help them feel prepared and confident.
Are the tutors familiar with the Lincolnshire 11+ exam format?
Yes, you can find tutors with specific experience in the Lincolnshire 11+ exam. When you search, you can read tutor profiles and even message them for free to ask about their familiarity with the format used by schools like Spalding Grammar and Spalding High to ensure you find the perfect match.
How can a tutor help my child with their vocabulary for the Verbal Reasoning test?
A tutor can use fun and effective methods to expand your child's vocabulary, far beyond simple word lists. They might use word association games, explore root words and prefixes, and introduce new words through engaging texts, helping your child to not just memorise words, but to understand and use them correctly.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Start by reading tutor profiles and reviews from other parents. You can see their experience, qualifications, and teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors for free to discuss your child's needs—it’s a great way to get a feel for their personality and find someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for 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.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a DBS background check, before they can teach on our platform. We also only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget.
How do online lessons work?
Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home, with all the tools they need for a great lesson.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. Because the lessons are one-to-one, the tutor gets a clear understanding of your child's strengths and weaknesses and can share their insights with you. You'll also see your child's confidence grow as they start to master topics they once found difficult.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss your needs directly with your tutor, as many are flexible and can arrange shorter or longer sessions if needed.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all core academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, you can also find tutors for practical skills like learning to play the guitar, coding in Python, or even public speaking. There's something for everyone.
Can we try just one lesson to see how it goes?
Of course. There are no long-term commitments or contracts. You can book a single lesson to make sure the tutor is the right fit for your child. Most families choose to continue with weekly lessons once they find a tutor they love.
