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!

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 wants to go to a sixth form in Loughborough. Can a tutor help them secure a Grade 5 in English?
Absolutely. This is a very common goal for parents we support. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target specific grades. They can identify the exact areas your child needs to improve—from essay technique to textual analysis—to confidently achieve a Grade 5 or higher in their GCSE English exams.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Leicester. Can a tutor help strengthen my child's A-Level English skills?
Yes. Many of our tutors are A-Level specialists and can provide the in-depth support needed for university applications. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and critical thinking skills required to excel at A-Level and prepare them for undergraduate study at universities like Leicester.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking. Think about your child’s personality and learning style – would they benefit from a very structured teacher, or someone with a more creative and relaxed approach? The choice is always yours.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor must pass a background check before they can teach on our platform. We also personally interview each applicant and verify their ID and qualifications. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for learning. That’s why we have a first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, 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?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but typically range from £20 to £45 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price on our search page to find someone who fits your budget.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. When a tutor tailors lessons to their pace and helps them understand tricky topics, they experience small, consistent wins. This gradually builds their self-belief and shows them they are capable of succeeding.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has features like a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. A tutor might work with your child on analysing a poem on the whiteboard, help them structure an essay plan in a shared document, or review past paper questions together.
How long are the sessions and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session per week is a great starting point for making steady progress, but you can arrange a frequency that works best for your child’s needs and your family's schedule directly with your tutor.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Once you find a tutor you like, you can send them a message to arrange your first session at a time that works for you both.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. You can find expert tutors for everything from coding and musical instruments like the guitar, to learning a new language.
Does my child need any special equipment for online tutoring?
Not at all. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no software to download.
