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 preparing for the 11+ for Marling or Stroud High. Can I find a tutor with specific experience?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students prepare specifically for the 11+ and entrance exams for grammar schools. You can view their profiles to see their areas of expertise and even message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs for the Verbal Reasoning and comprehension sections.
We're thinking ahead to A-Levels at colleges like SGS or Cirencester. Can a tutor help with the GCSE grades needed?
Yes, they can. Our tutors are brilliant at helping students secure the GCSE grades they need for their next steps. They can provide targeted support to close any knowledge gaps and build the skills and confidence needed to aim for higher grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few tutors who seem like a good fit and sending them a message to discuss your child's goals before you book a session.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has undergone a thorough background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
One-to-one lessons create a safe, encouraging space where there are no 'silly questions'. A tutor can go at your child's pace, celebrate small wins, and break down difficult topics, which helps build their self-belief and reduces any anxiety they might feel in the classroom.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be discussed with your tutor. You might want more sessions leading up to an exam, or fewer during school holidays.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills like learning an instrument?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. From learning to play the guitar or piano to mastering skills like coding and public speaking, you can find expert tutors to support your child's hobbies and passions too.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. We encourage open communication between parents and tutors. You can message your tutor at any time to ask for updates, and they will often provide feedback after each session on what was covered and how your child is getting on.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which we find is perfect for covering a topic in depth without losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor if you feel your child would benefit from it.
