A strong pass in English isn't just another qualification; it's a key that unlocks your child's future. It's essential for getting into college and is highly valued by top universities like York and Durham. More than that, the skills they learn – from analysing a quote in 'An Inspector Calls' to crafting a persuasive argument – are skills for life. They build confident communicators and critical thinkers, preparing your child for A-Levels, university, and whatever career path they choose.

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.

Nadiah K
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.

Jeremy B
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!

Michelle P
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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Lady Lumley's and wants to get into sixth form at Scarborough or Malton. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the GCSE grades they need for their chosen sixth form. They can focus specifically on the English Language and Literature topics your child finds challenging, building both their skills and their confidence for exam day.
We're aiming for a competitive university like York or Durham. Can a tutor support A-Level English preparation?
Yes, we have many tutors who are experts at A-Level and beyond. They can help your child master the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve top grades and make their university application stand out.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important, which is 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send messages to tutors before booking. We recommend finding someone whose teaching style and personality you think will click with your child. You can even filter by experience with specific exam boards.
How do you make sure your tutors are high-quality and safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and interviewed by our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted expert.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can expect to pay between £25 and £45 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget.
Can tutoring help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. A tutor can create a supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and working at their own pace, which can make a huge difference.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might work through a past paper with your child, help them plan an essay, or break down a difficult poem, all tailored to what they need most.
How effective is online tutoring?
It's very effective! With over 200,000 happy students and a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews, we see the amazing results every day. The focused, one-to-one attention in a comfortable environment helps students make real progress.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families start with one session a week, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange lessons as often as you feel your child needs them, whether that's a regular weekly slot or a few extra sessions in the run-up to an exam.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're experts in core subjects like English and Maths, we also have brilliant tutors for a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to coding in Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Many tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to check their availability, and you can book your first session straight away.
