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
My child hopes to go to Trafford College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Yes, this is a very common goal for families we help. Our tutors are experts at focusing on the GCSE curriculum to help students secure a Grade 5 or above. They can work on specific areas like essay writing and textual analysis to build the skills and confidence your child needs to progress.
We live in Partington and are thinking about the Trafford grammar schools. Can a tutor help with English for the 11+?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ exams, including the verbal reasoning and comprehension sections common for entry into schools in Altrincham and Sale. You can check their profiles for this specialism.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple. You can read detailed profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents just like you. Many parents look for tutors with experience in the specific exam board their child's school uses (like AQA or Edexcel) to ensure the support is perfectly aligned.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We understand that the right relationship is key to 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.
Can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and level of study, so you can find a brilliant, background-checked tutor that fits your family's budget.
How do you make sure tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they all undergo an ID and background check. We're very selective – only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted onto our platform, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's a secure and effective space designed specifically for one-to-one learning, accessible from any device.
Will tutoring actually improve my child's grades?
We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs, we can help improve your child's results by up to two grades. By providing focused, one-to-one attention, a tutor can help your child understand topics more deeply and perform better in their exams.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find a weekly one-hour session works best, especially in the run-up to exams. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what's right for your child and your schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have experts who can teach practical skills like coding, playing the guitar, or even learning a new language. There's something for every interest.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first session is usually about getting to know your child. The tutor will want to understand their learning style, what they enjoy about English, and which areas they find tricky. It's a great opportunity to build rapport and set some goals together.
