My name is Chiara, I am 26 years old and I am Italian. I lived in the South of Italy for most of my life, until I finished high school. I studied classical subjects, such as Latin and Greek, Literature, Italian (Liceo Classico). These studies made me appreciate my native language even more, which is why I would like to tutor someone who is learning it or wants to learn it. When I was 18 years old, I moved to London to study Journalism. In 2018 I graduated and I am now working as a freelance journalist.I am passionate about languages: I can speak Italian and English fluently, Spanish and German...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for Newham Collegiate or LAE. Can a tutor help with this?

Yes, absolutely. We know these sixth forms have very high entry requirements. Our tutors specialise in helping students secure the top GCSE English grades (7-9) needed to make a strong application. They can focus specifically on exam technique and curriculum areas to give your child the best possible chance of success.

We live near Queen Mary University. Can a tutor help my child with a future university application?

Definitely. While our main focus is on school and college-level subjects, many of our tutors have experience helping with university applications. A strong English A-Level is often a key requirement, and a tutor can help your child build the foundational GCSE skills needed to excel at A-Level and, later, help them draft a compelling personal statement.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

It's simple to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking a session to ensure you find someone you're both comfortable with.

How do online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a microphone and a stable internet connection. It's simple, secure, and all in one place.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This means you can easily find a highly-qualified tutor whose rates fit your family's budget.

Are your tutors safe and background-checked?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has an up-to-date DBS or background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

What is the '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 can a tutor help if my child lacks confidence in English?

Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors help students build self-belief that extends far beyond the English classroom.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that one hour-long session per week is ideal for making consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange more frequent lessons during exam periods or less frequent sessions for general support, whatever works best for your child.

Do you only offer academic subjects like English?

Not at all! While we support all academic subjects for 11+, GCSEs, and A-Levels, we also have brilliant tutors who can help your child learn a new skill or hobby. This includes everything from learning to play the guitar or piano to getting started with coding.

How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's grades?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed for progress. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.

Can I track my child's progress?

Yes. We encourage our tutors to provide regular feedback so you're always up to date on how your child is doing. You can easily message your tutor through our platform to discuss progress and goals at any time, creating a strong partnership to support your child's learning.
