Janan S
Janan is such a great tutor! She explains things really well and is able to fully break down areas I struggle with in English and make it easy to follow. She is also very personable and creates an easy atmosphere and is very understanding when I am behind in assignments for her, having a very dedicated work ethic, making up for what I lack. She creates a very welcoming environment and I genuinely do enjoy our lessons. Also she has helped direct me towards revision strategy’s as well so I do feel I have improved too in that areas and in English in general too. Would strongly recommend!

Frances H
Frances has been helping my daughter with English and SPaG in preparation for her SATs and after just a few sessions, I’ve seen a difference. She sets weekly homework, takes a genuine interest in my daughter’s week and makes learning fun by playing games like hangman to aid spelling. My daughter is engaged and is starting to really grasp the content. Frances is patient, encouraging and explains things clearly, which has already boosted my daughter’s confidence.

We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

My son has just started with Mamun, so far I am very happy. At first, my son was finding it a bit difficult to understand him, but when I expected it to Mamun he was very nice about it, and he did exactly what I wanted.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
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.
