Mr. Ngoran is an outstanding computer science tutor!
His ability to break down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps has made a huge difference in my daughter's understanding and confidence. He is patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and always prepared with practical examples that make learning engaging and enjoyable.
What I appreciate most is his dedication—he takes the time to ensure you truly understand the material and offers guidance that goes beyond the classroom. Whether it’s programming, algorithms, or exam prep, he explains everything with clarity and enthusiasm.
I highly recommend Mr. Ngoran to anyone looking to excel in computer science. An exceptional tutor and a true professional!

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.

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

Anita really helps me with English - especially by going through the mark scheme in greater detail than in class, which is really useful when it comes to improving my essays. She also has helped with improving my analysis, providing me with stronger context and helping me add depth to it. I really recommend her as she is great!

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.
We're aiming for a place at Aylesbury Grammar School. Can I find a tutor with 11+ experience?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in entrance exams, including the Buckinghamshire 11+. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specifically mention 11+ preparation in their profiles and have experience helping children secure places at local grammar schools.
Are your tutors familiar with the Buckinghamshire 11+ English exam format?
Many of our tutors are very familiar with the specific requirements of local entrance exams, including the format and question styles of the Buckinghamshire 11+. When you message a tutor, feel free to ask about their specific experience with this exam to ensure they're the perfect fit for your child.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to read tutor profiles and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
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.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has an up-to-date DBS or background check. 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 in Oakley cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £20 to £45 per hour, depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Tutors can break down difficult topics and celebrate small wins, which helps build self-esteem and a more positive approach to learning.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. For academic results, it's a steady process, but it's reassuring to know that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
How does online tutoring work? What equipment do we need?
It's simple! All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing to make learning engaging and effective.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE texts like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Yes, definitely. Our English tutors can provide targeted support for specific set texts, whether it's for GCSEs or A-Levels. They can help your child understand characters, themes, and context, and practise exam-style questions to build their confidence.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know your child. The tutor will chat with them about what they enjoy, what they find tricky in English, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed session designed to build a good relationship and create a plan for future lessons.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can you help with creative writing?
While we cover all core academic subjects, we also have brilliant tutors who can help your child explore their creative side. You can find tutors who specialise in creative writing, public speaking, and even learning musical instruments like the guitar.
