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 goes to Wolgarston High. Can a tutor help them aim for top GCSE grades?
Absolutely. A private tutor can provide focused support to help your child keep up with the curriculum and excel. They can work specifically on areas your child finds difficult, helping them build the skills and confidence needed to achieve top grades. For GCSEs, we often see students improve by up to two grades.
We're thinking about A-Levels at a college in Stafford. Can a tutor help my child secure the English grades they need?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the grades they need for their next step. They can work with your child on specific exam techniques and subject knowledge to help them feel prepared and confident about hitting the entry requirements for colleges in Stafford or elsewhere.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence in English?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. Tutors celebrate small wins and build on your child's strengths, which can transform their attitude towards a subject they once found tricky.
Can a tutor help with writing a university personal statement?
Yes, many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students craft compelling personal statements for their UCAS applications. They can help your child structure their ideas and showcase their strengths, which is vital for competitive universities.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. 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 cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile. You can filter your search by price to find a great tutor who fits your budget.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join our platform.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Many tutors respond to messages within a few hours. Once you've found the right person and agreed on a time, you can book your first lesson straight away.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which we find is most effective for maintaining focus and making progress. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor to see what works best for your child.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and public speaking, you can find an expert tutor to support your child's hobbies and interests too.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
