Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Matthew has been teaching my son since September and he absolutely enjoys the lessons. He explains writing in a way my son can understand, and we’ve already seen a boost in his confidence. Really friendly, patient, and supportive — we’re very happy with the progress so far. Highly recommend!

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.

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is preparing for the Transfer Test for a school like Regent House. Can I find a tutor with specific experience in this?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping children prepare for the 11+ and Transfer Tests. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in this area and even mention specific schools in your initial message to find the perfect match for your child.

We're thinking ahead to university. Can a tutor help my child with their application to Queen's University Belfast?

Yes. Our A-Level English tutors are fantastic at helping students with their university applications. They can provide support with personal statements, helping your child to articulate their strengths and passion for their chosen subject, which is a key part of applying to competitive universities like Queen's.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We understand that the right fit is crucial for building confidence. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just 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 watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications and experience right on their profile. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals.

How much does an online English tutor cost in Newtownards?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.

How does online tutoring work?

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 computer with a microphone, a camera, and a stable internet connection.

How can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence in English?

A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can learn at their own pace without fear of getting things wrong. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief.

How are your tutors vetted?

Your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, including identity and background checks. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

Can tutoring help my child with their GCSE English results?

Yes, it can make a significant difference. Our data shows that we can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades. Tutors can focus on specific areas, from exam technique to understanding complex texts, to help them achieve their best.

Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?

Not at all. You can book lessons as you go, which gives you complete flexibility. Many parents find a regular weekly slot works best, but you can arrange whatever schedule suits your family with your tutor.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

Most sessions are one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your chosen tutor.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. 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 brilliant tutors on our platform.
