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 I
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
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grade needed for Coleg y Cymoedd?
Absolutely. Many parents in Rhondda Cynon Taf come to us with this exact goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure that all-important pass grade in GCSE English, focusing on the specific areas your child needs to improve to meet the entry requirements for local colleges.
My child hopes to go to Cardiff University. Can a tutor support them with A-Level English too?
Yes, of course. We have specialist tutors for all levels, from primary school right through to university. If your child is aiming for top universities like Cardiff or the University of South Wales, an A-Level tutor can provide the in-depth subject knowledge needed to help them achieve the highest grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Every tutor has a detailed profile where you can see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. You can watch their introductory video to get a feel for their personality and send them a message to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding the right fit for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. 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 online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. There's a video chat so they can see and speak to their tutor, an interactive whiteboard for working through problems together, and a way to share documents like essays or past papers.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has been through a rigorous selection process and has had their ID and background checked. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to learning. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor celebrates small wins and patiently explains things until they click, which can make a huge difference to your child's self-belief.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works best, especially when preparing for exams like GCSEs. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what's right for your child and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like English and Maths?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with academic subjects, we also have expert tutors for music, languages, and practical skills. So whether your child wants to learn the guitar, get help with coding, or even prepare for a music theory exam, we can help.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first session is usually a friendly introduction. The tutor will chat with your child to understand what they enjoy, what they find tricky, and what their goals are. It's a great chance for them to get to know each other and for the tutor to create a plan for future lessons.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for a tutor, send a message to a few you like the look of, and arrange a time for your first lesson. Many tutors can offer a lesson within a few days.
