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.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to get into Cardinal Newman College or Blackpool Sixth Form. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students secure the top GCSE grades needed for competitive colleges. They can focus on the specific skills and exam techniques required to help your child meet the entry requirements and feel confident in their application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check ratings from other parents (we have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews), and even send a message to a tutor before booking to make sure they're the right fit for your child's personality and learning goals.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform is ID and background-checked. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can tutoring help if my child lacks confidence in English?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor builds confidence by celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics into manageable steps, which can make a huge difference to how they feel about the subject.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone. They'll be able to see and speak to their tutor, share documents, and use an interactive whiteboard, just as if they were in the same room.
My child attends a local school like Saint Aidan's. Can a tutor support their specific schoolwork?
Yes, our tutors are experts in the national curriculum and can tailor lessons to complement what your child is learning at school. By focusing on the same topics, they can help fill in any gaps, reinforce their understanding, and prepare them for school tests and exams.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can discuss lesson length with your tutor, as they are often flexible to fit your child's needs and your family's schedule.
My child finds English boring. How can a tutor help?
A great tutor can bring English to life! They can find ways to connect texts and topics to your child's own interests, whether that's through film, music, or modern articles. Making the subject relevant and engaging is often the key to sparking their enthusiasm.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum! As well as English, Maths, and Science, you can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to coding languages like Python or even public speaking.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to arrange a time, and you could be having your first lesson within 24 hours. It's designed to be as simple and fast as possible.
