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.
My child is at The King's School and needs strong GCSE English grades for Exeter College. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. This is a very common goal for parents we work with. Our tutors can create a tailored plan to target the specific areas your child needs to improve, whether it's essay structure, textual analysis, or exam technique, to help them secure the grades needed for their A-Level choices.
Can a tutor tailor lessons to the specific books and poems my child is studying for their GCSEs?
Yes, that's one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. You can find a tutor with experience in the specific curriculum and texts your child is studying. They can provide focused help on everything from understanding Shakespeare to analysing unseen poetry, making their schoolwork much more manageable.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right relationship is key to learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit 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 do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can easily filter tutors by their experience, subject specialism, and price. Watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message to ask any questions. You can even book a free 15-minute video chat to make sure they're the right fit before booking a lesson.
How much does online English tuition cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. All prices are clearly displayed on their profiles, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child can work through past papers, analyse texts, and practice writing essays with their tutor in real-time.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are also very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
My child's confidence in English is very low. How can a tutor help with that?
A one-to-one environment is perfect for building confidence. Our tutors provide a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help your child see that they *can* succeed.
Do you only offer help with school subjects?
While we have expert tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer tuition in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, pick up a new language, or even learn coding skills like Python, we have a tutor who can help.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no one-size-fits-all answer. It completely depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly sessions to build their skills over time. It’s completely flexible and up to you.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
We believe it's even better! Your child gets access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those who live nearby. Our interactive online classroom has tools specifically designed for learning, and all sessions are recorded so your child can review them anytime. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first lesson is all about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about what they enjoy in English, what they find tricky, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed session designed to build a connection and create a plan for future lessons.
