Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced online tutor, who has been teaching English Language & Literature, and Religious Studies online since 2013. I am a fully qualified teacher with a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education.While I am a passionate tutor of each of these two subjects individually, more importantly I feel that my experience in each subject contributes something to the other.

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
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.
