English English, Science, Phonics, SATs
Hi! I’m a fully qualified UK primary teacher with over five years of classroom experience, and I now specialise in 1:1 tutoring for children aged 5–11. I’ve taught every year group from Reception to Year 6 and have helped many children grow in confidence — especially in phonics, maths, reading and SATs preparation.I started tutoring because I’ve seen first-hand how personalised support can unlock a child’s potential. I remember one Year 3 pupil who struggled with writing; by breaking tasks into small steps, using visuals and positive reinforcement, she went from reluctant writer to story-lovin...

Frances H
Frances has been helping my daughter with English and SPaG in preparation for her SATs and after just a few sessions, I’ve seen a difference. She sets weekly homework, takes a genuine interest in my daughter’s week and makes learning fun by playing games like hangman to aid spelling. My daughter is engaged and is starting to really grasp the content. Frances is patient, encouraging and explains things clearly, which has already boosted my daughter’s confidence.

Alexander A
We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive grammar school in Redbridge. Can a tutor help with the specific English requirements?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience helping students prepare for the English components of entrance exams, including the 11+. You can message tutors for free to ask about their experience with grammar school entry and find someone who understands exactly what's required.
We're in North-East London. Does the tutor need to be local too?
No, and that's the great advantage of online tutoring. Your child can connect with the very best English tutors from anywhere in the UK, not just your local area. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists, ensuring you find the perfect personality and expertise for your child.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Start by looking at their profile videos and reading reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals – whether that's GCSE exam technique or building confidence with creative writing. It's all about finding an expert your child will feel comfortable with.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions and work at their own pace. A tutor can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and show them they are capable, which can make a huge difference to how they feel about the subject.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor must have a valid DBS check and provide professional or academic references. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted onto the Tutorful platform.
Can a tutor help with both GCSE English Language and English Literature?
Yes, most of our English tutors are experts in both and can create a learning plan that covers everything your child needs, from analysing unseen fiction for Language Paper 1 to revising key themes in 'Macbeth' for Literature.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that also fits your family's budget.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important, which is 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 does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
My child finds analysing poetry really difficult. Can a tutor focus just on that?
Of course. The beauty of one-to-one tuition is that it's completely tailored to your child's needs. If they need to spend several sessions just on poetry analysis, their tutor can create a plan to tackle that specific area until they feel confident.
How many students have used Tutorful?
Your child will be in good company! They'll be joining a community of over 200,000 happy students who have used Tutorful to achieve their learning goals. We're proud to have over 4,100 customer reviews with an average rating of 4.6 stars.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like creative writing or public speaking?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also have experts who can help your child explore other interests. You can find tutors for creative writing, public speaking, learning a musical instrument, coding, and much more.
