Dedicated English tutor
With a combined 10 years' of education experience across two institutions, I have encountered many types of students - some aged 16, some aged 60.

Alina W
Effective English tutor
Hello my name is Alina, and I’m a dentistry student. I have excellent A levels and GCSE grades being an A* student and have had tutoring experience before with children aged 5-17 years old. My students have always loved my lessons as I make sure that each child understands the lesson or what they have chosen to work on before leaving.My teaching style is unique as rather telling the students what they’re doing today, they themselves would email me a couple of days before telling me they want to do this topic today. This meant that the student has control of their own learning and working on the...

Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

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
My child is at Honley High and aiming for Greenhead College. Can a tutor help with this specific goal?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students bridge that exact gap. They can focus on the specific skills and grade requirements needed for entry into competitive sixth forms, building your child's confidence and subject knowledge to help them secure their place.
Can an online tutor help my child get the grades needed for universities like Leeds or Manchester?
Yes. Securing a place at a top university starts with strong GCSEs. Our English tutors can help your child master the analytical and writing skills that are not only crucial for getting a high grade but are also the foundation for A-Level success and university-level study.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
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, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £20 to £45 per hour. You can filter tutors by price on our search page to find an expert who fits your family's budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and been personally interviewed by our team. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
My child is doing okay, but we're worried it's not enough for a top grade. Can tutoring help?
Yes, this is a very common reason for parents to seek a tutor. A personal tutor can help turn a grade 6 into a grade 8 by focusing on advanced exam techniques, refining analytical skills, and pushing your child to achieve their full potential. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have tutors for over 300 academic subjects, we also offer support in other areas. You can find tutors for skills like public speaking, creative writing, learning an instrument like the guitar, or even coding.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's English results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the one-to-one focus of tutoring often leads to progress quite quickly. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
A session is usually tailored to what your child needs most that week. It might start with a review of a tricky piece of homework, then move on to practising a specific skill, like analysing a poem or planning an essay, and end with setting goals for the next lesson.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident about their GCSEs?
Confidence often comes from feeling prepared and capable. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps your child see that they can succeed. This steady progress builds self-belief that makes a huge difference in exams and beyond.
