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.

Lovely tutor, very helpful and concise with the additional support, as well as making sure I was confident on the topics we discussed. Very interactive and informative with making sure my thesis and essay writing structure was at a highest level it could be, gave me a really good insight into top band essay skills that I will be using from now on!!

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Lisa is an excellent tutor, patient, calm and most importantly extremely engaging. My children have seen a huge benefit from Lisa's coaching and guidance over the last few months. I couldn't recommend her highly enough!

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child is preparing for the Transfer Test. Can we find a tutor experienced with the English paper for schools like Abbey CBS or Sacred Heart?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in entrance exams, including the Northern Ireland Transfer Test. You can check their profiles for specific experience and even message them beforehand to discuss your child's goals for getting into a particular grammar school.
We're worried about GCSE English grades for A-Levels and eventually Queen's University. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. Securing a strong GCSE English grade is a common goal for parents who come to us. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help improve your child's results by up to 2 grades, focusing on everything from essay technique to analysing texts to ensure they are fully prepared for their exams and the next step in their education.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If it's not the right fit, just let us know. 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?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have said about them in their reviews. You can also watch their introductory video to get a feel for their personality and message them directly to ask any questions before you book.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must all pass a background check before they can join our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of demand. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you just pay for the lessons you book.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and resources. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn one-to-one from the comfort of your home.
Can tutoring help my child if they've lost their confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe and encouraging space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins and building on their strengths can make a huge difference to their confidence in the classroom.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works well, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that suits your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we have expert tutors for all core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also have talented tutors who can teach a wide range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speaking Spanish, to coding in Python, there's a huge variety of subjects available.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is a great opportunity for the tutor to get to know your child and understand their learning goals. They'll chat about what your child finds difficult and what they want to achieve. It's also a chance for you and your child to see if the tutor is a good fit.
How quickly will we see an improvement in our child's English?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the personalised focus of one-to-one tutoring often leads to progress quite quickly. In fact, 90% of our students improve their results by at least one grade. The biggest change many parents notice first is a boost in their child's confidence.
