I also assessed their English language needs in detail and set learning targets for them.Prior to working for local councils I worked for 10 years in language schools teaching students from overseas. This involved teaching beginners,...

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

I would highly recommend Lee. He has supported my son in increasing his understanding of GCSE poetry, personalising each lesson to meet his needs and gives timely feedback after each lesson. My son is making great progress and I have seen increased confidence since he has started.

Anita really helps me with English - especially by going through the mark scheme in greater detail than in class, which is really useful when it comes to improving my essays. She also has helped with improving my analysis, providing me with stronger context and helping me add depth to it. I really recommend her as she is great!

Cerise S
Cerise has been such a lovely and supportive English tutor for Eisa. She really helped him find structure and confidence in his lessons and I could see the difference in how he approached his reading and writing. She always came well prepared with materials and gave clear guidance on what to work on..for example, getting him to read A Christmas Carol and pick out key quotes and themes to discuss together.
Eisa really enjoyed her lessons and found her teaching style easy to follow. She’s been patient, encouraging and genuinely invested in his progress. We’ve really appreciated all her help!

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
We're aiming for a place at Poole Grammar or Parkstone Grammar. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English paper?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can create a tailored plan for your child, focusing on the key areas of the English exam, such as comprehension, creative writing, and verbal reasoning, to help them feel confident and prepared for the day.
My child is at Corfe Hills. Can a tutor help them aim for the top 7-9 grades in English GCSE?
Definitely. Our tutors are brilliant at helping students push for those top grades. They can work with your child on the specific texts and skills needed for their exam board, helping them master essay technique and detailed analysis. We find our support can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to two grades.
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. In the unlikely event that 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications and experience on their profile. You can also send a message to a tutor before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and make sure they're a good match.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, so your child and their tutor can work together just as they would in person. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are also very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence?
Sometimes, all a child needs is a bit of one-to-one attention. In a supportive, friendly space, your child can ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in class. A tutor can celebrate their small wins and help them see their own progress, which is a huge confidence booster.
How can I be sure my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to help you understand what your child is working on and how they're improving. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress and goals for upcoming sessions.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first session is usually a chance for the tutor to get to know your child, understand their learning style, and discuss their goals with you both. They'll likely do some activities to see where your child's strengths are and identify areas where they can offer the most support.
How long should a tutoring session be?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's age and concentration span.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have tutors for every school subject imaginable, we also offer a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python, you can find an expert tutor to help your child explore their passions beyond the classroom.
