Megan is a wonderful tutor!
My son has really enjoyed the sessions with her and she adapts them to ensure he is fully understanding the teaching.

I cannot recommend her enough!!

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. We recommend watching tutors' introduction videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also read reviews from other parents and send a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
We live near Rickmansworth and are considering grammar schools in Hertfordshire. Can we find a tutor experienced with the 11+ English exam?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ and entrance exam preparation. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in helping children prepare for the English components of the Hertfordshire grammar school tests.
How much do online English tutors in Rickmansworth cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits within your family's budget.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an identity and background check before they can start teaching. We are very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
My child attends a school in Rickmansworth. Can a tutor follow their specific curriculum?
Definitely. Our tutors are experienced with the UK national curriculum and major exam boards like AQA and Edexcel. They can tailor their lessons to align with what your child is learning at school, helping them with homework, coursework, and exam revision.
How can an online English tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Tutors provide positive reinforcement and celebrate small wins, which helps build self-esteem and a more positive attitude towards learning.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for drawing and writing, and a way to share documents like essays or past papers. It's a collaborative space where your child and their tutor can work together easily.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a wide range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to coding in Python, there's a huge variety of subjects your child can explore.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without it being too long for your child to concentrate. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best.
My child finds exams really stressful. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents seek a tutor. As well as covering the subject material, our tutors can teach valuable revision techniques, time management skills for the exam hall, and strategies for staying calm under pressure, which can make a huge difference.
How quickly can we get started with lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Many tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to check their availability, and you can book your first session directly from their profile.
