As an English tutor I have tutored all ages, but I specifically tutor A Level Literature where I have a wide knowledge of the curriculum - I have tutored students across all the examination boards.

Holly E
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.

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 aiming for a competitive course at the University of Edinburgh. Can a tutor help them secure the A grade they need in Higher English?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are specialists in the SQA curriculum and have extensive experience helping students move from a B to an A. They can focus specifically on the areas your child needs to strengthen, whether it's critical essay structure or RUAE analysis, to help them meet the entry requirements for top university courses.
Do your tutors understand the specific demands of the SQA Higher English curriculum?
Yes, they do. You can easily find tutors with specific experience in the Scottish curriculum, including the National 5 and Higher qualifications. They understand the unique requirements of the critical essay and RUAE papers and can provide targeted support to help your child excel.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It’s a personal choice, and we make it easy. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to ensure you find the perfect match.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has been through a rigorous selection process, including identity and background checks. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £20 to £45 depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can filter your search by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
My child's confidence has taken a knock. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a safe, supportive environment, your child can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. A great tutor celebrates small wins and builds them up, helping them see that they are capable of achieving their goals.
How do the online lessons actually work?
The lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is ideal for steady progress and building momentum. However, it's completely flexible. You might want to arrange more frequent sessions in the run-up to exams or less frequent lessons for general support.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects from primary school through to university, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, master coding with Python, or even learn a new language for fun, we can help.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours. Once you've found a tutor you like and agreed on a time, you can book your first lesson and be ready to go in just a day or two.
What are the main benefits of one-to-one online tutoring?
The key benefit is personalised attention. Lessons are tailored exactly to your child's needs, so they can learn at their own pace. It's also incredibly convenient, fitting easily around your family's schedule without any travel time.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
