Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at Tonbridge Grammar or The Judd School. Can a tutor help with the specific English requirements for the Kent Test?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience helping students prepare for the 11+ and the Kent Test. They can focus on the key areas of the English paper, from comprehension and grammar to creative writing, tailoring lessons to build the skills and confidence your child needs for the exam.
My child finds the creative writing part of the exam really difficult. Can a tutor focus just on that?
Yes, that's one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. The tutor will create a learning plan based on your child's needs. If creative writing is a worry, they can dedicate sessions to planning stories, developing characters, and using descriptive language to make their writing stand out.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and teaching style. Reading reviews from other parents is also a great way to get a feel for who they are. We recommend messaging a few tutors to find the one who feels like the best fit for your child's personality and goals.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and qualifications, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has had their ID verified. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps your child see their own progress, which is a huge confidence booster.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space to share documents. It's designed to be engaging and easy to use, so your child can focus on learning.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's English skills?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's attitude and confidence after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Can we fit lessons around our busy family schedule?
Yes, that's one of the main benefits of online tutoring. You can arrange lessons for evenings, weekends, or whenever suits you best. You're not limited by travel time, making it much easier to fit quality learning into your week.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
A lesson is tailored to your child's needs. It might start with a quick chat about what they've been doing in school, followed by work on a specific area like analysing a poem or planning an essay. Tutors use the interactive whiteboard to make learning collaborative and fun.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts in core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for music, languages, coding, and much more.
