John H
Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

Can a tutor help my child prepare for A-Levels at Coleg y Cymoedd?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students make the leap from GCSE to A-Level. They can work with your child to build the specific skills and deeper subject knowledge needed to feel confident and prepared for their courses at Coleg y Cymoedd.
My child is hoping to go to a university like Cardiff Met. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, definitely. A strong GCSE in English is a key requirement for most university courses. Our tutors can help your child secure the grade they need and also assist with skills like personal statement writing, which is crucial for university applications to places like Cardiff Met or the University of South Wales.
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'. If you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and even message tutors for free before booking. Look for someone whose experience matches your child's needs, whether that's specific GCSE exam board knowledge or a focus on building confidence.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
One-to-one tutoring is fantastic for building confidence. In a supportive, private setting, your child can ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down tricky topics, helping your child see that they really can succeed.
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 contracts, so you can find quality support that fits your family's budget.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has undergone a background check. We are very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas! You can find tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to modern languages and music theory.

All you need is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and has features like an interactive whiteboard to make learning engaging and effective.

Lessons are typically 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 chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can find and book a tutor today. Many of our tutors have availability within the next few days, which you can see on their profiles. It's easy to find and schedule a lesson time that works for your family.
