Creative English tutor
I have my (2.1) BA in English Literature from The University of Sheffield and have been an online tutor for two years. To date, I've taught over 3,000 lessons, from KS1 to A-Level which has enabled me to adapt my teaching style and content to different students.For example, when I tutored a student with ADHD I increased the number of activities while reducing the length to ensure they remained engaged with the lesson.Conversely, when tutoring one of my A-Level students with anxiety, I slowed the lesson pace and used fewer activities to reduce stress. In lessons, I predominately use visual learning...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

The schools in Richmond are very competitive. Can a tutor help my child aim for a grade 8 or 9 in English GCSE?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in helping students move from a good grade to a top one. They can teach the advanced analytical and writing skills needed to impress examiners and help your child stand out, which is why we can help improve GCSE results by up to 2 grades.

My child is hoping to get into a top sixth form. Can an English tutor help them develop the advanced essay skills they'll need?

Yes, this is a perfect goal for one-to-one tuition. A tutor can work with your child on developing sophisticated arguments, structuring complex essays, and using textual evidence effectively – all key skills for securing a place on competitive A-Level courses and, later, at university.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Think about your child's personality and learning style – are they quiet and in need of a confidence boost, or do they need someone to challenge them? Finding the right match is key.

How much do online English tutors cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of demand. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. All costs are clearly shown on their profile, so there are no hidden surprises.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has been personally vetted by our team. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know how important the right fit is. 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 can a tutor help build my child's confidence?

One-to-one tuition creates a safe space for your child to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in class. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them overcome learning blocks and start to believe in their own abilities.

How do online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.

Can a tutor help with specific parts of the English curriculum?

Definitely. Whether your child needs to get to grips with the poetry anthology, understand a particular Shakespeare play, or improve their creative writing for English Language, a tutor can create lessons that focus specifically on those areas.

How long does it take to see an improvement?

It varies from child to child, but many parents notice a boost in confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. Consistent weekly lessons are the best way to build momentum and see a real impact on their results.

What qualifications do your English tutors have?

Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds. Many are qualified teachers, experienced examiners, or hold degrees in English from top universities. You can view each tutor's full qualifications and experience on their profile.

Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?

We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academics, your child can learn a musical instrument like the guitar, a new language, or even practical skills like coding. It's a great way to support their hobbies and personal development.
