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.

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.

asked questions

Can a tutor help my child with their application for A-Levels at East Sussex College Group?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for the step up to A-Levels. They can focus on the specific skills and grades needed for competitive courses at colleges like the East Sussex College Group, ensuring your child's application is as strong as possible.
My child is considering applying to the University of Sussex or Brighton. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, we have tutors who are specialists in university preparation. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed for A-Level success and a strong UCAS application, giving them the best chance when applying to universities like Sussex and Brighton.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Think about your child's specific needs – do they need help with GCSE exam technique for English Literature, or support with grammar for English Language? You can message tutors beforehand to make sure they're the right fit before booking.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically starting from £20 per hour. You can see the price 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 actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. Your child can work through past papers, analyse texts, and get instant feedback from their tutor, all from the comfort of your home.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can tutoring help if my child lacks confidence in English?
Confidence is often the biggest hurdle. A one-to-one tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics, like Shakespearean language, and celebrating small wins, they help build your child's self-belief step by step.
How long will my child need a tutor for?
It really depends on your child's goals. Some students need a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others benefit from regular weekly support throughout the school year. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor to create a plan that works for you.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the core curriculum. Alongside English, Maths, and Science, you can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and public speaking.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. After each lesson, your tutor will provide feedback on what was covered and how your child is progressing. You can also message your tutor at any time through the platform to discuss their development and next steps.
How many students have you helped?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students achieve their goals. Our approach is trusted by thousands of families, which is reflected in our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 customer reviews.
