Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a top sixth form like Brampton Manor or LAE. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students push for the highest grades. They can focus specifically on the advanced analytical skills and sophisticated essay techniques that examiners reward with grades 8 and 9, giving your child the competitive edge needed for entry into these top local institutions.
My child is already doing well in English. How can a tutor help them?
That's a great position to be in. For high-achieving students, tutoring is about refining their skills to perfection. A tutor can act as a high-level mentor, challenging them with difficult texts, perfecting their exam technique, and ensuring they can consistently produce the exceptional work needed to stand out in a competitive area like Newham.
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 have experience with your child's specific exam board and goals. You can also send them a message before booking to make sure it's a great fit.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. It'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 much does online English tutoring 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 complicated contracts.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple and effective way to learn from home, and all your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check and been personally interviewed by our team before they can start teaching on the platform.
How can a tutor help build my child's confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. As their tutor helps them master difficult topics, they'll see their own progress, which is a powerful confidence booster.
Do you only offer school subjects?
Not at all! While we support core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or speak a new language, we can help.
What exam boards can tutors help with for GCSE English?
Our tutors have experience with all the major UK exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC. You can check a tutor's profile to see which boards they specialise in or use our search filters to find the right expert for your child's specific course.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor if you feel your child would benefit from it.
How quickly can we find a tutor and get started?
You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors respond to messages within a few hours. Once you find the right person for your child, you can book your first session and often be learning within a day or two.
