Pam P
Experienced English Tutor
I am a semi- retired Primary School teacher. I have worked with all age groups in the Primary setting and have a specialised knowledge in the teaching of reading. To keep up to date with the changes in the curriculum I take on some supply work. Over the years I have been tutoring I have helped many pupils reach there full potential. I believe in an individual approach as no two children are the same. This cannot be achieved by the big centres offering only one way of learning.I have taught children who struggle to read, increasing reading age dramatically over a short time and have helped children...

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

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ for grammar schools near Oldbury. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience with 11+ preparation, including the verbal reasoning and comprehension sections common for entry into Birmingham and Walsall grammar schools. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in entrance exams and even mention it in your first message.
We're hoping my child might apply to the University of Birmingham or Warwick. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, building strong English skills now is excellent preparation for university. Our tutors can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed for A-Levels, which are crucial for applications to competitive universities. Some tutors also offer specific support for personal statements.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a great question. We recommend watching tutors' introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. Reading reviews from other parents is also incredibly helpful. You can send a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking to make sure you find the perfect match.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the right fit, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first 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.
My child's confidence in English is low. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their schoolwork.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process: every tutor is interviewed, has their ID and qualifications checked, and must provide a valid DBS background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. The price is based on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an experienced tutor who fits your family's budget.
How do online lessons work?
They take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home, and all they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is the ideal frequency for making steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want to increase the frequency in the run-up to an exam, or have lessons less often. You can discuss what's best for your child with your tutor.
How effective is online English tutoring?
It’s very effective! In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The one-to-one focus allows tutors to tailor every single lesson to your child's needs, which is something that's hard to achieve in a busy classroom. It’s a great way to help them build skills and confidence.
What's my role as a parent in the tutoring process?
Your main role is to provide encouragement and support. It's helpful to chat with the tutor about your child's goals and any concerns you have. You'll receive feedback after each lesson, so you can stay involved and celebrate your child's progress with them.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or music?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn a new language, master the guitar, or get to grips with coding, you can find expert tutors on our platform to support their passions and hobbies.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
