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
We're aiming for Queen Elizabeth Grammar School (QEGS). Can I find a tutor with 11+ experience?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in entrance exam preparation. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in the 11+ and view their profiles to see how they've helped other children prepare for grammar school entrance.
My child is struggling with the specific English requirements for the 11+ in Penrith. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. A one-to-one tutor can focus specifically on the areas your child finds most challenging, whether that's building a wider vocabulary, improving reading comprehension speed, or mastering verbal reasoning techniques. They can tailor sessions to the QEGS exam format.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a session.
How much does an online English tutor in Penrith cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You'll see each tutor's hourly rate clearly displayed on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the right fit. 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 do online lessons actually work?
Our lessons take place in a secure online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and file sharing. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a good internet connection, a microphone, and a webcam.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
A great tutor creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help your child see that they *can* succeed, which is a huge boost to their self-esteem.
Are all your tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted to work with us.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. Some students have a regular weekly lesson to stay on track, while others book a few sessions to prepare for a specific test like the 11+. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
What kind of results can I expect from tutoring?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our goal is to help them make real progress. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students feel more confident and achieve their goals.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn something like music or coding?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we're here to help with core subjects like English and Maths, your child can also explore hobbies and new skills, from learning the guitar to coding in Python.
How quickly can we get started?
It's very quick. You can search for a tutor, send them a message, and often book your first lesson within 24 hours. Many tutors offer a free 15-minute video chat to say hello and discuss your child's needs first.
