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 preparing for the entrance exam at Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School (BRGS). Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for 11+ and grammar school entrance exams. They can build a tailored plan focusing on the key areas, like verbal reasoning and comprehension, to help your child feel calm and prepared.
My child goes to Haslingden High. Can a tutor help them aim for top GCSE English grades?
Yes, of course. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can provide targeted support to help your child move up a grade boundary. They can help with everything from analysing set texts to perfecting exam technique, building the skills needed for A-Levels and beyond.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first 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.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple to find the perfect match on our platform. You can filter tutors by their experience, what level they teach, and their price. Read their bios, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents to find someone you and your child will feel comfortable with.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes a live video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and examples, and the ability to upload documents like essays or past papers. It's a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of home.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tuition creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor can go at your child's pace, celebrate their small wins, and break down tricky topics, which all helps to build their self-belief.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one to ensure they are experienced and passionate about teaching. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in good hands.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on a tutor's experience and qualifications. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you just pay for the lessons you book.
Can a tutor help with specific texts, like 'Macbeth' or the GCSE poetry anthology?
Definitely. Our tutors are very familiar with the texts on the school curriculum. They can create lessons specifically focused on helping your child understand characters, themes, and key quotes, making revision much more manageable.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic properly without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor if you feel that would work better.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language or even music production.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for an exam, while others have regular weekly sessions to build their skills over time. It's completely flexible, and something you can discuss with your tutor.
