Tudor B
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. All present very unique educational needs, or even sensory needs; at times, it is necessary for me to deliver or reiterate classroom content through British Sign Language (BSL), something I would be more than happy to do with clients here as well. My responsibility as a Learning Link Tutor is to bridge the gap between learner and tutor within the classroom, and academically support the students who need it.

Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced online tutor, who has been teaching English Language & Literature, and Religious Studies online since 2013.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

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.
