Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

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.

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child hopes to go to Peter Symonds College. Can a tutor help them meet the GCSE English requirements?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and have experience helping students secure the top grades (7-9) needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus specifically on the skills and knowledge required to meet those demanding entry requirements.
With the high standards of schools in the Petersfield area, how can I be sure a tutor is right for my child?
We understand that you want the best for your child. That's why we're so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. You can view detailed profiles, read reviews from other parents, and have a free chat with tutors before booking to ensure you find the perfect personality and expertise for your child.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Think about your child's specific needs. Are they struggling with essay writing for Literature or grammar for Language? You can use our filters to find tutors who specialise in GCSE, A-Level, or even specific exam boards. Reading tutor bios and reviews from other parents is also a great way to find a good fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If it's not the right fit for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does private English tuition cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from £20 per hour. Because our tutors are based all over the UK, you get access to a wide range of prices and expertise, so you can find an amazing tutor that fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It’s simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, so your child can work on anything from analysing poetry to drafting essays in real-time with their tutor. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has been through a background check. We also interview them and verify their ID and qualifications to ensure your child is in safe, expert hands.
Can a tutor help my child with confidence as well as grades?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. When your child has a safe space to ask questions and master topics they found tricky, their self-belief grows, and that often has a positive impact on their work in the classroom too.
How can a tutor help with both GCSE English Language and Literature?
Our tutors are experienced across the English curriculum. They can dedicate sessions to the different skills needed for each paper – for example, focusing on creative writing for Language one week, and analysing quotes from 'An Inspector Calls' for Literature the next. It's completely flexible to your child's needs.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the focused, one-to-one attention of tutoring often leads to progress quite quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What happens in a typical one-hour English lesson?
A typical lesson starts with a quick chat about what your child wants to cover. They might review a piece of homework, work through a past paper question on the interactive whiteboard, or plan an essay structure together. The hour is entirely focused on your child's specific goals for that day.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or a musical instrument?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we are experts in core academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills, from learning the guitar and coding to speaking Spanish.
