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 The Henrietta Barnett School. Can I find a tutor with 11+ English experience?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have specific experience helping children with the requirements for competitive grammar schools. You can view their profiles to see their expertise and even message them to ask about their approach to creative writing and comprehension.
My child is at The Compton School. Can a tutor help them push for a top GCSE grade?
Definitely. A tutor can provide focused support to help your child aim for the highest grades. They can work on specific areas, from essay technique to analysing unseen texts, providing the dedicated attention that can make all the difference. We know that students can improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades with the right support.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding the right fit for your child.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can teach on our platform. We also interview every applicant and are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a true expert.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. That'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 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 a brilliant, experienced tutor that fits within your family's budget.
Can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence in English?
Yes, this is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's confidence piece by piece.
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 with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child. A tutor might spend time reviewing a school essay, practising exam questions, working on spelling and grammar rules, or exploring a new book together. The focus is always on what your child needs most to make progress and feel more confident.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can also find experts to help your child learn a new language, master a musical instrument like the guitar, or even learn practical skills like coding.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find a weekly session works best to build momentum and consolidate learning, but the frequency is completely up to you. You can discuss what's right for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?
No, there are no long-term commitments or contracts. Our platform is pay-as-you-go, giving you complete flexibility. You can book as many or as few lessons as your child needs, whenever you need them.
