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

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a top grade (7-9) in English to help with applications to universities like Leicester or Loughborough. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, this is a very common goal for families we support. Our tutors are experts at helping students move beyond just passing and into the top grade boundaries. They can focus on the advanced analytical and writing skills needed to impress examiners, which is a huge advantage for competitive university applications.
My child attends Robert Smyth Academy. Can we find a tutor familiar with the GCSE English curriculum they follow?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience with the AQA and Edexcel exam boards used by most schools, including Robert Smyth Academy. You can check each tutor's profile to see their specific expertise and even message them to discuss your child's needs before booking.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor we choose?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. 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.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas! You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and public speaking.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Start by using the filters on our site to narrow down tutors by subject and availability. You can watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before you book a session.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs. You only pay for the lessons you book.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. As their tutor helps them grasp difficult topics and they see their own progress, their self-belief naturally grows.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check. We also have a rigorous selection process and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no software to download. It has an interactive whiteboard, file sharing, and everything your child needs for an engaging lesson.
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 being overwhelming. However, you can discuss lesson length with your tutor, as they can often be flexible to suit your child's concentration span and your family's schedule.
Can a tutor help with specific homework or exam preparation?
Yes, definitely. Tutors can provide support with tricky homework assignments, help your child prepare for an upcoming test, or work on long-term exam technique for their GCSEs or A-Levels. Just let the tutor know what you need, and they can tailor the session accordingly.
How many students have you helped?
We're proud to have supported over 200,000 students on their learning journey. It's wonderful to see the positive impact that one-to-one support can have, and with over 4,100 reviews from parents just like you, you can feel confident you're in safe hands.
