Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced online tutor, who has been teaching English Language & Literature, and Religious Studies online since 2013.

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.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form in Bury St Edmunds. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors specialise in helping students secure the higher grades needed for competitive entry. They can focus on the specific areas of the GCSE English curriculum your child finds tricky, helping them build the skills and confidence to achieve the grades required for places at top sixth forms.
We're worried about getting the grade 7 needed for Cambridge colleges. How can a tutor make a difference?
It's a common concern, and a tutor can make a real difference. They provide focused, one-to-one support to turn a grade 6 into a 7 or 8. By identifying specific weaknesses, whether in textual analysis or essay writing, they can provide targeted practice and feedback to help your child secure those crucial extra marks.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals. It's all about finding someone your child connects with, who has the right experience for their needs.
How are your tutors vetted?
We take your child's safety and quality of learning very seriously. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview them to ensure they have the right expertise and a passion for teaching. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to join us.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and qualifications. You can use our search filters to find excellent tutors who fit within your family's budget.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have a 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 can a tutor help build my child's confidence?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors provide constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which helps your child see their own progress and feel much more positive about their abilities in English.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors qualified to teach GCSE English Language and Literature?
Yes. Many of our English tutors are qualified teachers with years of experience teaching the specific AQA, Edexcel, and OCR exam board curricula for both GCSE English Language and Literature. You can see their specific experience on their profiles.
How long will my child need tutoring for?
It really depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly lessons to build their skills over time. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor to create a plan that works for you.
What are the benefits of online tutoring over finding someone local?
Online tutoring gives you access to the best tutors across the entire UK, not just in the Newmarket area. This means you can find a specialist for your child's exact needs. It's also more flexible, saving you time on travel and fitting easily around your family's schedule.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we're experts in core subjects like English and Maths, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor for it on Tutorful.
