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...

Alina W
Effective English tutor
Hello my name is Alina, and I’m a dentistry student. I have excellent A levels and GCSE grades being an A* student and have had tutoring experience before with children aged 5-17 years old. My students have always loved my lessons as I make sure that each child understands the lesson or what they have chosen to work on before leaving.My teaching style is unique as rather telling the students what they’re doing today, they themselves would email me a couple of days before telling me they want to do this topic today. This meant that the student has control of their own learning and working on the...

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.

Hi Myles,
I just wanted to send you a heartfelt thank-you for the English lessons you gave my son. After only three sessions with you, he managed to pass — and we couldn’t be happier! He really enjoyed your lessons and said you made everything easy to understand and enjoyable.I truly appreciate the time, patience, and encouragement you gave him. It’s made a huge difference to his confidence and attitude toward English. Thanks again for all your help — we’re both very grateful!

Amazing tutor! I went from a weak grade 3 in English Language to being just one mark off a 6. Lessons were clear, supportive, and really boosted my confidence. I couldn’t have done it without their help and would 100% recommend.

Ameela R
Ameena tutored our son for an English language retake and he got an 8! He went up 3 grades from a 5. Her tutoring was focussed and responsive and she did it all over about 7 weeks. Could not ask for more. Thank you so much Ameena!

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

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.
