Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

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.
