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
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for colleges like Greenhead or New College Pontefract?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades, like the 6s and 7s often required by competitive sixth forms. They can focus on exam technique and curriculum areas your child finds challenging to give them the best possible chance of securing a place.
My child hopes to go to a Russell Group university. Can an English tutor help?
Yes. A strong GCSE in English is a fundamental requirement for top universities. A tutor can help your child build the analytical and communication skills that admissions tutors at places like the University of Leeds or Sheffield look for, setting a strong foundation for A-Levels and beyond.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have said about them. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child connects with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit 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 English tutor in Ossett cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find quality tutoring that fits your family's budget.
Are your tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can teach on our platform. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgment. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-belief and rediscover a love for the subject.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple and effective way to learn. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with specific texts, like Shakespeare or poetry?
Definitely. Our English tutors can provide expert guidance on any part of the curriculum, from analysing Shakespearean language in 'Romeo and Juliet' to understanding the themes in a complex poetry anthology. Lessons can be tailored to focus on exactly what your child needs help with.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our personalised approach is designed for progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few lessons. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.
Is it just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we're experts in academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have brilliant tutors who teach a wide range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and playing the guitar to public speaking and a new language.
How are your tutors selected?
We're proud to have some of the best tutors in the UK. We carefully select them through a rigorous application process, checking their academic background, teaching experience, and references. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can trust you're choosing from the best.
