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.

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
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.
