Kathy F
Creative English tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior). I would help...

Hadika M
Dedicated English tutor
As a Chemical Engineering graduate from the University of Manchester, I saw firsthand how many of my classmates struggled with Maths and English. It wasn't just a few; it was a common challenge. Seeing their difficulties sparked something in me. I found that I genuinely loved helping them understand concepts that seemed confusing. The feeling of watching them grasp a difficult idea was incredibly rewarding, and that's when I discovered my passion for teaching.I strongly disagree with the idea that people are naturally "good" at one subject and "bad" at another. I believe that anyone can learn anything...

Janan S
Janan is such a great tutor! She explains things really well and is able to fully break down areas I struggle with in English and make it easy to follow. She is also very personable and creates an easy atmosphere and is very understanding when I am behind in assignments for her, having a very dedicated work ethic, making up for what I lack. She creates a very welcoming environment and I genuinely do enjoy our lessons. Also she has helped direct me towards revision strategy’s as well so I do feel I have improved too in that areas and in English in general too. Would strongly recommend!

Frances has been helping my daughter with English and SPaG in preparation for her SATs and after just a few sessions, I’ve seen a difference. She sets weekly homework, takes a genuine interest in my daughter’s week and makes learning fun by playing games like hangman to aid spelling. My daughter is engaged and is starting to really grasp the content. Frances is patient, encouraging and explains things clearly, which has already boosted my daughter’s confidence.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for Rochdale Sixth Form College?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in preparing students for their GCSEs with specific college entry requirements in mind. They can focus on the key topics and exam techniques needed to help your child secure a strong pass in both English Language and Literature.
My child hopes to study at the University of Manchester. Can a tutor support them beyond GCSEs?
Yes, definitely. We have a huge range of tutors who specialise in A-Level English and even university-level study. They can provide consistent support as your child progresses, helping them build the advanced analytical and writing skills needed for higher education.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can start by filtering tutors based on subject, level, and price. Every tutor has a detailed profile with a video, student reviews, and their qualifications. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with before booking your first session.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £15 to £40 per hour, depending on their experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all must have a valid DBS check. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted onto our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
My child lacks confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
One-to-one tutoring is fantastic for building confidence. In a supportive, patient environment, your child can ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. Celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics helps them see they really can do it.
How can I be sure my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress and see how they are getting on. Seeing your child's confidence grow is often the first and best sign.
What's the difference between tutoring for English Language and English Literature?
Our tutors can help with both! For English Language, they'll focus on skills like creative writing and analysing non-fiction texts. For Literature, they'll help your child get to grips with novels, plays, and poetry, focusing on themes, characters, and context.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we cover all academic areas from Maths to Science, we also have expert tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills, such as learning to play the guitar, coding in Python, or even public speaking.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which we find is perfect for covering a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
