The Right Support, Right When Your Child Needs It
We handpick the best tutors from across the UK, with only 1 in 8 applicants making the cut. This means you can find an expert who doesn't just know the English curriculum inside-out, but who will also take the time to understand how your child learns. They'll build a real connection, creating a supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and making progress at their own pace. Every lesson is designed around your child's specific goals. If they're struggling with poetry analysis for their GCSE Literature exam, the session will focus on that.

This targeted approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, with those studying for GCSEs often improving by up to two grades. Finding the right support shouldn't add to your family's stress. With our online lessons, you can connect with the perfect English tutor without worrying about travel.

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. Although I only possess a Level 4 teaching...

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 top grades to get into a competitive sixth form like Heckmondwike Grammar. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students prepare for entry into competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific skills and exam techniques needed to secure those top 7-9 grades in GCSE English, giving your child the best chance of meeting the entry requirements.
We're hoping for a place at a Russell Group university like the University of Leeds. How can English tutoring support this?
A strong foundation in English is crucial for university applications. Our tutors can help your child develop the critical analysis and sophisticated writing skills that top universities look for. This not only helps them achieve the necessary A-Level grades but also prepares them for writing personal statements and handling the academic demands of university-level study.
What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just 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?
Every tutor has a detailed profile with their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents just like you. You can watch their intro video to get a feel for their personality and even message them for free before booking to discuss your child's needs.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down tricky topics, like Shakespearean language, into manageable steps. This personalised attention helps them see their own progress and builds lasting self-belief.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check. We also have a rigorous selection process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has all the tools your child needs, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, allowing the tutor and your child to collaborate just as they would in person.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we're experts in core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to mastering coding languages like Python, we can help your child explore their passions beyond the school curriculum.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experts in both. They can help your child switch between analysing poetry for Literature and honing their persuasive writing for Language, providing comprehensive support across the entire GCSE curriculum.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Once you find a tutor you like, you can message them to arrange a time that works for you both. Many tutors are available for a first lesson within just a few days.
