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
My child is aiming for a competitive Leeds sixth form. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students secure places at top sixth forms like Elliott Hudson College. They can focus on developing the specific analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve the high GCSE grades required for entry, giving your child the best possible chance.
We're thinking ahead to university. Can a tutor help prepare my child for a Russell Group application?
Yes, they can. Building strong English skills at GCSE is the first step towards a successful application to a Russell Group university like the University of Leeds. Our tutors can help your child develop the clarity, confidence, and critical thinking that admissions tutors look for, setting a strong foundation for their A-Levels and beyond.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's needs. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat to help you decide if they're the right fit.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of expertise. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or complicated contracts.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial for your child's confidence and progress. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can online tutoring help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe space for your child to ask questions without the pressure of a classroom. A tutor can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and adapt their teaching style to your child's personality, which is a fantastic way to build their self-belief.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our highest priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted to join Tutorful.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to discuss how things are going. The goal is a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor to help them achieve their goals.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons are tailored to your child's needs. A session might involve working through a specific text like 'An Inspector Calls', practising essay structures, analysing poetry, or focusing on grammar and punctuation. Our online classroom has interactive tools like a whiteboard to make learning engaging.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument, get into coding, or pick up a new language, we have expert tutors to help them explore their passions.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which we find is most effective for maintaining focus and making real progress. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
What equipment do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to download.
