Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
The schools in Peterborough are very competitive. Can a tutor help my child aim for a top grade (7-9) in GCSE English?
Absolutely. Our tutors specialise in helping students target the highest grades. They can focus on the advanced analytical and evaluation skills needed to impress examiners, work on sophisticated essay structures, and build the confidence your child needs to perform their best.
My child is hoping to apply to a Russell Group university. Can an English tutor help them develop the required skills?
Yes. Many of our English tutors have experience in helping students prepare for university applications. They can work with your child to develop the sophisticated critical thinking and analytical writing skills that top universities, like Cambridge, look for in their applicants.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications on their profile. We recommend messaging a few to find the best fit. Most importantly, find someone your child will connect with and feel comfortable learning from.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
The cost varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
What happens if we don't get on with our first choice of tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a safe, supportive environment makes a huge difference. Tutors can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and show your child that they are capable of improving. This personalised encouragement is often the key to unlocking their confidence.
Are your tutors qualified to teach English?
Yes. We interview every single tutor and verify their ID and background checks. Many of our English tutors are qualified teachers, examiners, or hold degrees in English from top UK universities. You can see all their qualifications on their profile.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to code, play the guitar, or improve their public speaking, we can help you find an expert tutor.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but regular, consistent lessons can make a big impact. Our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The key is the tailored support that focuses directly on your child's specific areas for improvement.
What happens in a typical one-hour English lesson?
A typical lesson is focused entirely on your child's goals. It might start with a quick review of the previous session, then move on to a specific topic, like analysing a poem or planning an essay. Tutors use the interactive whiteboard to work through examples together, ensuring your child understands before moving on.
Can a tutor help with the specific texts my child is studying for their GCSEs?
Yes, absolutely. Tutors can provide expert guidance on the specific set texts for your child's exam board, whether it's 'An Inspector Calls', 'Macbeth', or the poetry anthology. They can help your child develop a deep understanding of themes, characters, and key quotes.
