Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a Russell Group university like Exeter or Bristol. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are graduates from top universities themselves and have extensive experience helping students prepare for higher education. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed to not only achieve top A-Level grades but also to write a strong personal statement.
The academic standards at schools like Marlborough College and St John's are very high. Can tutors match this level?
Yes. We have a wide range of tutors with experience supporting students in highly academic environments. Many specialise in preparing students for competitive entry exams and achieving top grades (7-9) at GCSE and A* at A-Level. You can view each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile to find the perfect match.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to read tutor profiles, check their qualifications, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can message tutors for free before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals. Finding someone your child connects with is key to building their confidence.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is essential for success. 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.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home, without you needing to travel.
How can a tutor help my child get a top grade (7-9) in GCSE English?
A tutor can make a huge difference by focusing specifically on the exam board's marking criteria. They can work with your child on exam technique, time management, and how to structure answers to earn the maximum marks, turning a good grade into a great one.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe to work with children?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every UK-based tutor must provide a valid DBS check and professional references. We interview every single tutor to ensure they are knowledgeable, passionate, and committed to providing a safe and positive learning experience.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Confidence is just as important as subject knowledge. In a one-to-one setting, there's no fear of asking a 'silly' question. A tutor provides a patient, encouraging environment where your child can build their skills at their own pace, which is often the key to restoring their self-belief.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others benefit from weekly lessons throughout the school year to build their skills and confidence over time. You can discuss a flexible plan with your chosen tutor.
How long does it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at a different pace, but the one-to-one focus means progress can be seen quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Is tutoring just for core subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas! From learning a new language or a musical instrument like the guitar, to developing practical skills like coding, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
