I completed my PGCE at the University of Nottingham. However, I did my BA at the University of Malta as that is where I grew up before moving to the...

Tara C
Effective English tutor
I am an effective and efficient tutor. By keeping a close eye on each student’s development, I ensure that each lesson has a specific objective and contributes towards their overall progress. I am organised and am always prepared, bringing clear lesson plans and homework to each session. Furthermore, I am able to tailor these to the needs of pupils and their parents and always design lessons in accordance with their specific needs; this adaptability is a skill I have practiced while working as a tutor over the past few months. Following an initial discussion about strengths and weaknesses and p...

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.

Lovely tutor, very helpful and concise with the additional support, as well as making sure I was confident on the topics we discussed. Very interactive and informative with making sure my thesis and essay writing structure was at a highest level it could be, gave me a really good insight into top band essay skills that I will be using from now on!!

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 wants to study A-Levels at East Durham College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Our tutors are very familiar with the GCSE English curriculum and what colleges like East Durham College look for. They can work with your child on specific areas, from exam technique to essay writing, to help them secure the grade 5 or 6 they need for their chosen A-Levels.
We live near Durham and Newcastle. Can a tutor help my child develop the essay skills needed for a competitive university application?
Yes, many of our English tutors specialise in preparing students for higher education. They can help your child move beyond the GCSE curriculum to develop the deeper analytical and critical writing skills that make an application stand out to competitive universities like Durham and Newcastle.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their intro videos, and check reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat to discuss your child's needs before you book. It's a great way to ensure you find the right personality and teaching style for your child.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can an online tutor build my child's confidence?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can make a huge difference. When your child has a safe space to ask questions and work at their own pace, they start to see that they *can* understand tricky topics. This success builds the self-belief they need to thrive in the classroom.
Are the tutors safe and background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every single applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does an English tutor cost in Peterlee?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring work?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection. It’s simple, secure, and effective.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can start very quickly. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can message them directly to arrange your first lesson. Many tutors can start within a few days, depending on your schedules.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Alongside core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to modern languages and university admissions tests.
How long are the lessons?
Lessons are usually one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time for students to focus and make real progress. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your chosen tutor.
How do I know Tutorful is a trusted platform?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students and have a rating of 4.6 stars from over 4,100 customer reviews. It's lovely to hear from so many families who have seen their child's confidence and grades improve with our tutors.
