Creative English tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment.

That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior).

Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020.

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

Hi Myles,
I just wanted to send you a heartfelt thank-you for the English lessons you gave my son. After only three sessions with you, he managed to pass — and we couldn’t be happier! He really enjoyed your lessons and said you made everything easy to understand and enjoyable.I truly appreciate the time, patience, and encouragement you gave him. It’s made a huge difference to his confidence and attitude toward English. Thanks again for all your help — we’re both very grateful!

Amazing tutor! I went from a weak grade 3 in English Language to being just one mark off a 6. Lessons were clear, supportive, and really boosted my confidence. I couldn’t have done it without their help and would 100% recommend.

Ameena tutored our son for an English language retake and he got an 8! He went up 3 grades from a 5. Her tutoring was focussed and responsive and she did it all over about 7 weeks. Could not ask for more. Thank you so much Ameena!

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to go to Rochdale Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them secure the right English GCSE grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE specialists and have extensive experience helping students achieve the grades they need for their first-choice college. They can focus on specific exam board requirements, improve exam technique, and build confidence in areas your child finds tricky, giving them the best possible chance of success.
We live in Milnrow. How does online tutoring work for us?
Because all our tutoring is online, you have access to the best English tutors from across the UK, not just those in the local area. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone. Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which has video chat, a whiteboard, and document sharing features.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. 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 specific goals. Finding someone your child connects with is key to building their confidence.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed by our team and must provide a valid DBS check. We also verify their ID and qualifications. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can feel completely confident in your choice.
What happens if we don’t get on with our first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have a first lesson guarantee. If for any reason you feel the tutor isn't the right fit for your child after the first session, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control and transparency.
How can an online tutor help my child with their confidence?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can make a huge difference. In a safe, encouraging space, your child can ask questions they might be shy to ask in class. Celebrating small wins and mastering difficult topics with their tutor's help is a fantastic way to build their self-belief.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Every lesson is different because it's tailored to your child. A session might involve working through a tricky piece of homework, practising essay-writing techniques on the interactive whiteboard, analysing a poem together, or preparing for an upcoming exam. The tutor will focus on whatever your child needs most.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experts in both and can support your child across the full curriculum. You can check their profiles for details or send them a message to confirm they cover the specific areas your child needs help with.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that it's highly focused. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. You just need a computer or laptop with a good internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no software to download. It's designed to be intuitive and easy for everyone to use.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts for core academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for music, languages, coding, and professional skills. It's all about helping your child pursue their interests and passions.
