Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging. My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

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 studying for CCEA GCSE English. Can a tutor help with this specific curriculum?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience with the CCEA curriculum. You can check their profiles for specific experience or send them a message before booking to ensure they are the perfect fit to help your child prepare for their exams.

We're aiming for a place at a competitive sixth form. Can a tutor help my child get the necessary GCSE English grade?

Yes, our tutors are brilliant at helping students aim for specific goals. They can focus on boosting your child's grade by working on exam technique, strengthening their writing skills, and building their confidence to help them secure the results they need for their A-Level choices.

How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview every applicant to assess their expertise and teaching style, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.

What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?

We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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.

My child's confidence in English is low. How can a tutor help?

This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild that self-belief, which often makes the biggest difference to their results.

How much does an online English tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, with prices starting from £15 per hour. The price often reflects their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.

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

You can read reviews from other parents, view each tutor's introductory video to get a feel for their personality, and check their qualifications on their profile. You can also message tutors for free to ask about their experience with the CCEA curriculum before you book.

What happens in a typical online English lesson?

Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat and an interactive whiteboard. Tutors can share resources, work on practice questions, and review essays in real-time. Each session is tailored to your child's needs for that week.

How effective is online tutoring?

It's incredibly effective. It offers the same dedicated, one-to-one support as in-person tutoring but with more flexibility and access to a wider range of expert tutors. The proof is in the results: 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.

How often should my child have a lesson?

Most families find that one hour per week is ideal for consistent progress, especially when preparing for exams like the GCSEs. However, you can arrange lessons as often as you feel your child needs them, and you can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something like coding or music?

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum! Your child can learn skills like coding, playing the guitar, a new language, and much more. It's a great way to support their hobbies and personal development.

How quickly can we get started?

You can get started very quickly. Simply search for a tutor, send them a message to arrange a time that works for you, and book your first lesson. Many parents find a great match and have their first session booked within 24 hours.
