Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the Kent Test for a Maidstone grammar school. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ and entrance exam preparation. They are experienced in helping children build the specific comprehension, creative writing, and reasoning skills needed for the Kent Test, giving them the confidence to perform at their best.
Are your tutors familiar with the English curriculum taught in Maidstone schools?
Our tutors are experts in the UK national curriculum for all key stages, including GCSE and A-Level. They can tailor their support to align with what your child is learning at school, helping to reinforce classroom teaching and address any specific topics they find challenging.
What if we don't click with the first English tutor we try?
We know how important the right fit is. That's 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 I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. Many tutors mention their specialisms, such as 11+ preparation or GCSE support. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. A one-to-one setting provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. Celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics helps them see they are capable, which can transform their attitude towards the subject.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of demand. You can easily see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile, allowing you to find an experienced tutor that fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, which includes ID checks and background checks, before they can join the platform. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring the highest quality.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It’s a dynamic and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of your own home.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's English skills?
Every child learns at a different pace, but consistent weekly sessions can make a noticeable difference quite quickly. The personalised attention helps to resolve misunderstandings faster than in a classroom setting, which often leads to rapid progress and a boost in confidence.
We need help with GCSE English. Can a tutor help improve my child's grade?
Definitely. Our tutors are brilliant at helping students prepare for their GCSEs. They can focus on key texts, improve essay technique, and practise exam skills. In fact, targeted tutoring can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to two grades.
What happens in a typical one-hour English lesson?
A typical lesson starts with a quick chat about what your child wants to cover. The tutor might then review a piece of homework, work through a specific topic like analysing poetry, and then set some practice questions on the interactive whiteboard, finishing by setting a goal for the next session.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! You can find expert tutors for everything from coding and learning a musical instrument to public speaking and new languages.
