Lee N
Lee has been a great tutor for our 15-year-old son, Leo. He’s really helped him with structuring his essays and breaking things down in a way that makes it much easier for Leo to understand and apply in his school work.
What’s made the biggest difference though is Lee himself. He has a really great personality and a relaxed way of teaching that puts Leo at ease straight away. Leo feels comfortable being himself in the sessions, which means he’s much more open to asking questions and having a go.
Since starting with Lee, Leo’s confidence with English has grown a lot and he’s actually started enjoying the subject again. The support and encouragement Lee gives has been really valuable for him in preparation for his GCSE's.

Flora is patient and takes the time to ensure my child understands concepts properly before moving on. She always comes well prepared, communicates effectively with my son, and explains things clearly. She also takes time to prepare homework assignments and resource materials to reinforce learning.
She’s easy to reach and is happy to chat with parents about progress and the ways we can support learning at home. My son enjoys her teaching and is happy to add one more lesson a week with Flora. I’d gladly recommend her to others looking for a solid tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at King's College School or Putney High. Can I find a tutor with experience in these entrance exams?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in preparing students for 7+, 11+, and 13+ entrance exams for top independent schools. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specifically mention experience with these schools and their assessment styles.
My child is preparing for the 11+ exams for grammar schools near Putney. Can a tutor help with this?
Definitely. Our tutors are experienced in all aspects of the 11+ English curriculum, including comprehension, creative writing, and verbal reasoning. They can create a tailored plan to build your child's skills and confidence ahead of the exams.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a session to make sure you've found the perfect match.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know how important the student-tutor relationship is. If for any reason the first lesson isn't a good fit, our First Lesson Guarantee has you covered. Just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or extra costs.
How do you check your tutors are safe to work with children?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an ID check and a background check (DBS or equivalent). We also accept only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you know you're choosing from the best.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence in English?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a supportive, encouraging environment where your child feels comfortable asking questions. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they can help your child build lasting confidence.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have thousands of tutors for academic subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. From learning to play the guitar or speak a new language to mastering coding skills like Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's work?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed to get results. Because lessons focus on your child's specific needs, they can make progress much faster than in a group setting. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What are the benefits of online tutoring compared to in-person?
Online tutoring offers great flexibility, fitting around your family's schedule without any travel time. It also gives you access to the best tutors from across the UK, not just those who live nearby, so you can find the perfect specialist for your child's needs.
How do I pay for lessons?
Paying for lessons is simple and secure. You add your payment details to your account, and we only process the payment 24 hours after each lesson is complete. You'll never need to handle cash or make direct bank transfers.
