The Right English Support to Help Your Child Succeed
We know you want the best for your child, which is why we're so selective about our tutors. We only accept 1 in 8 applicants, and every single one is an expert in their field and has been background-checked. Your child's tutor will take the time to understand their unique learning style and the specific areas they find tricky, whether it's grammar rules or Shakespearean language, creating a supportive partnership built on trust. Every online lesson is designed around your child's specific goals. If they need to focus on exam technique for their English Language paper, their tutor will work through past papers with them. If they're aiming for a top grade in Literature, a session can be dedicated entirely to analysing key quotes until it clicks.

Raquel A
Supportive and Structured English Tutor
Hello and welcome! My name is Raquel and I look forward to meeting you soon. In the meantime, allow me to share with you why I choose to tutor: Mixed memories of middle school and college spring to mind. Excitement bubbling up to return to school after a fun and well spend summer holiday with family and friends. What formed part of the anticipation was the sense of being ready. Ready to sit in class with fellow classmates, ready to take home homework, planning and organising assignments. It may seem as if I had forgotten the stress and pressure I found myself under in the previous school year,...

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 wants to get into Barton Peveril. Can a tutor help them achieve the specific English grades needed?
Absolutely. Our tutors are very familiar with the GCSE curriculum and the grades required for competitive sixth forms. They can create a targeted learning plan focused on the exact skills your child needs to strengthen to hit those grade boundaries for both English Language and Literature.
We're aiming for a Russell Group university like Southampton. How much do English GCSEs really matter?
They are incredibly important. Strong passes in English and Maths are a standard entry requirement for most UK universities, including those in the Russell Group. Good English grades demonstrate the analytical and communication skills that are essential for success in higher education.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first English tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check reviews from other parents, and even watch short introduction videos. We also recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before you book.
My child has lost all their confidence in English. Can a tutor really help with that?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a supportive, pressure-free environment, your child can ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. Tutors are brilliant at breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, which quickly rebuilds self-esteem.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on every tutor's profile, so you can find an expert tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has everything your child needs to learn effectively, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard for writing and sharing ideas, and the ability to upload documents like past papers or essays.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and properly qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an identity and background check. We also verify their qualifications and experience, which is why we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join us.
Can tutoring fit around our busy family schedule?
Yes. One of the best things about online tutoring is its flexibility. You can arrange lessons for evenings, weekends, or even during school holidays – whatever works best for your family. No travel time means it's much easier to fit into a packed schedule.
How many lessons will my child need to see an improvement?
This really varies from child to child. Some parents see a boost in confidence after just a few sessions, while achieving a specific grade target might take longer. Your tutor can discuss a realistic plan with you after the first lesson.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have experts in all core academic subjects, we also offer a huge range of other skills. You can find tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and public speaking.
My child goes to The Hamble School. Can we find a tutor who understands the curriculum?
Yes. Our tutors are experts in the national curriculum for England. They will be able to support your child with the specific texts, exam boards, and assessment objectives they are studying for their GCSEs at school, ensuring the tutoring is perfectly aligned with their classwork.
