David J
Experienced English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Aileen L
enthusiastic and encouraging English tutor
As an English tutor I have tutored all ages, but I specifically tutor A Level Literature where I have a wide knowledge of the curriculum - I have tutored students across all the examination boards. I am a happy and enthusiastic mature person, who believes strongly in education and the confidence and opportunities that can be gained. My first aim is to encourage and praise pupils in their work - I believe enjoyment of the subject is the key to doing well. I personally enjoy the discussions, the debates. the sparks that come with a broader knowledge of the subject. And that "light bulb" moment that...

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.
