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.

Lovely tutor, very helpful and concise with the additional support, as well as making sure I was confident on the topics we discussed. Very interactive and informative with making sure my thesis and essay writing structure was at a highest level it could be, gave me a really good insight into top band essay skills that I will be using from now on!!

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

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child is preparing for the Transfer Test. Can a tutor help them aim for schools like Antrim Grammar or Ballymena Academy?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping students prepare for the Transfer Test. They can focus on building the core comprehension, verbal reasoning, and writing skills needed, helping your child feel confident and ready for the exam.
We're thinking ahead to university. Can a tutor help with English A-Level for an application to Queen's University Belfast?
Yes, definitely. Our A-Level English tutors can provide in-depth support, from analysing complex texts to perfecting essay writing. They can help your child build the strong academic profile needed for applications to competitive universities like Queen's.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors beforehand to discuss your child's needs and see if they're a good match before booking.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the right fit for your child. With 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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can work at their own pace without fear of getting things wrong. Celebrating small wins and building skills step-by-step can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All tutors must have a valid DBS check and provide references. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 applicants to ensure the highest quality.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work together just as they would in person.
Can a tutor help with specific homework or exam revision?
Yes, that's a great way to use tutoring. Whether it's a tricky essay on 'An Inspector Calls' or preparing for their GCSE English exams, a tutor can provide targeted help right when your child needs it most.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find brilliant tutors on Tutorful.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are an hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths by discussing it directly with your chosen tutor.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply browse our tutors, send a message to the one you like, and you could be booking your first lesson within a day. Many parents find a great match for their child in just a few hours.
