Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for Durham Sixth Form Centre. Can a tutor help with the English requirements?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on strengthening the specific essay and analytical skills your child needs to secure their place with confidence.
We're hoping for a place at Durham or Newcastle University. How can tutoring strengthen my child's application?
A tutor can be a huge help. Beyond securing top A-Level grades, they can help your child develop the advanced critical thinking and communication skills that Russell Group universities like Durham and Newcastle look for. This ensures their personal statement and any written work stand out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a personal choice, and we make it easy. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking. Look for someone whose experience matches your child's goals, whether that's GCSE exam technique or A-Level textual analysis.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential 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.
How much does an online English tutor in Ouston cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £20 to £45 per hour. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. A tutor can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and show them they're capable of making real progress.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE texts, like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors can provide focused support on specific curriculum texts. They can help your child dive deeper into themes, characters, and key quotes, which is often exactly what's needed to push their grade up.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week works best. This provides consistency and gives your child time to practise what they've learned. However, you can arrange a schedule that works for you, whether it's more frequent sessions before an exam or fortnightly lessons.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than core academics?
We do! While we have experts in core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have talented tutors who can teach skills like coding, learning a musical instrument like the guitar, or even a new language. There's something for everyone.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, we get it. You can easily manage your lessons through your Tutorful account. We have a 24-hour cancellation policy, so as long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can reschedule your session for a more convenient time.
