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

Cerise S
Cerise has been such a lovely and supportive English tutor for Eisa. She really helped him find structure and confidence in his lessons and I could see the difference in how he approached his reading and writing. She always came well prepared with materials and gave clear guidance on what to work on..for example, getting him to read A Christmas Carol and pick out key quotes and themes to discuss together.
Eisa really enjoyed her lessons and found her teaching style easy to follow. She’s been patient, encouraging and genuinely invested in his progress. We’ve really appreciated all her help!

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 hopes to get into a competitive sixth form like Prince William School. Can a tutor help them achieve the top GCSE English grades needed?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for top grades (7-9). They can focus specifically on the sophisticated essay and analytical skills required, giving your child the best possible chance of securing a place on their desired A-Level courses.
We're aiming for a Russell Group university. How can an English tutor support this long-term goal?
A great English tutor helps build the foundational skills that top universities value. They'll work with your child on critical thinking, constructing compelling arguments, and communicating ideas with clarity – all essential for excelling at A-Level and in university applications.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view each tutor’s profile video, read reviews from other parents, and even message them for free before booking. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, who has experience in the specific area you need, like GCSE exam technique or creative writing.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are ID and background-checked. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your own home.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and level of demand. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile, so there are no surprises.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention from a patient and encouraging tutor can do wonders for a child's confidence. In a supportive space, your child can ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class, helping them overcome learning blocks and start believing in their own abilities.
My child is struggling with a specific text, like 'An Inspector Calls'. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, definitely. The beauty of one-to-one tutoring is that lessons can be tailored to your child's exact needs. A tutor can spend a whole session, or several, breaking down character analysis, key themes, and exam-style questions for a specific text.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can I find tutors for other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. You can find expert tutors for learning a musical instrument like the guitar, a new language, or even practical skills like coding.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of our students improve by at least one academic grade.
How do I book and pay for lessons?
Booking is easy and secure. Once you’ve chosen a tutor, you can schedule lessons directly with them through our platform. All payments are handled safely online, so you don't have to worry about cash or bank transfers.
