I have been a teacher of both English Language and Literature for the past 5 years. I am proud to have been a help to a number of students who have gone on to successfully sit for their GCSEs. I am particularly experienced with the AQA GCSE exam format, but I am qualified to teach all exam boards.I am currently reading for my PhD at the University of York, where I am studying English romantic literature, with a particular focus on the study of Keats. I completed my PGCE at the University of Nottingham. However, I did my BA at the University of Malta as that is where I grew up before moving to the...

Josh L
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

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.
My child hopes to study A-Levels at Furness College. Can a tutor help them get the right English GCSE grade?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Millom come to us. Our tutors are experienced in the GCSE curriculum and can create a tailored plan to target the specific skills your child needs to strengthen to secure their place at Furness College.
We're worried about future university applications to places like Lancaster. How does English tutoring help?
A strong English GCSE is a crucial building block. It not only helps with A-Levels but also develops the critical thinking and essay writing skills essential for university. Many of our tutors can also help with personal statement writing, giving your child an extra edge when applying to competitive universities like Lancaster.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask questions before you book. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, as a positive relationship is key to building their confidence.
How do online lessons actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We're also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget, with many experienced English tutors available from around £20 per hour.
My child's confidence in English is very low. How can a tutor help?
This is where one-to-one tutoring really shines. In a private, supportive setting, your child can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. A tutor can go at their pace, celebrate small wins, and help them see they are capable of succeeding.
Can a tutor help with the specific texts my child is studying at Millom School?
Yes, definitely. During your first lesson, the tutor will discuss what your child is currently working on at school. They can then tailor their sessions to cover specific texts, whether it's Shakespeare, poetry, or a modern novel, to align perfectly with their schoolwork.
How quickly will we see an improvement in their grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. We find that regular lessons can build momentum and confidence quickly. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, showing that this dedicated support really works.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life can be busy, we get it. Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You just need to give your tutor 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule a lesson without being charged.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also offer a huge range of other skills! You can find tutors for everything from coding languages like Python to learning a musical instrument, art, or even public speaking.
