Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone.

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.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for A-Levels at Bridgend College?
Absolutely. Our tutors are very familiar with the entry requirements for local colleges like Bridgend. They can focus specifically on the WJEC English curriculum to help your child secure the grades they need to progress to their chosen A-Level courses.
My child is hoping to go to Cardiff or Swansea University. Can a tutor help them?
Yes. A strong GCSE in English is a vital first step for applications to competitive universities like Cardiff and Swansea. A tutor can help your child build a solid academic foundation, which is crucial for their personal statement and future A-Level success.
How can a tutor specifically help with the WJEC English Language paper?
Our tutors can break down the exam paper section by section. They'll work with your child on effective reading strategies, how to structure their answers for maximum marks, and time management techniques, building their confidence for exam day.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Many tutors have specific experience with the WJEC syllabus. You can also message them before booking to ensure they're a great fit for your child's needs.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. With 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 much does online English tutoring cost in Maesteg?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly listed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons happen in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, ensuring your child is learning from the best.
Can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. When a child understands a topic they previously found difficult, their self-esteem grows, and this positive attitude often carries over into the classroom.
How long does it take to see an improvement?
It varies for each child, but the one-to-one focus means progress can be seen quickly. Many parents tell us they notice a change in their child's confidence and attitude towards a subject within just a few lessons.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, your child can learn practical skills like coding, a new language, or even a musical instrument like the guitar.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
A tutor will usually start by checking in on what your child has been covering at school. The rest of the lesson is tailored to their needs – it could be practising exam technique, analysing a poem, planning an essay, or working on grammar.
