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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE grades needed for Hills Road or Long Road?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure top grades for competitive sixth form entry. They can focus on the specific exam techniques and subject knowledge needed to help your child's application stand out and meet the high entry requirements of colleges like these.
My child is feeling the pressure from the high academic standards around Cambridge. How can a tutor help?
We understand the pressure can be intense. A tutor provides a safe, supportive space for your child to ask questions they might not ask in class. By working at their pace, a tutor can help them master tricky topics, build genuine confidence, and turn that feeling of pressure into a sense of achievement.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding the right personality fit for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and level, but you can easily filter your search to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS background check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join Tutorful.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. It's a simple and effective way for them to learn from the comfort of your home.
Can tutoring really help improve my child's confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits parents tell us about. In a one-to-one setting, your child gets the focused attention they need to grasp difficult concepts. Every small win builds their self-belief, which can make a huge difference to their attitude in the classroom.
How quickly will we see an improvement in their grades?
Every child learns at a different pace, but our tailored approach is designed for progress. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs, our support can help improve your child's results by up to two grades.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than English?
We do! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from Maths and Science to learning an instrument like the guitar or a language like Spanish. You can find support for all of your child's learning needs right here.
Can a tutor help with both GCSE English Language and Literature?
Yes, most of our English tutors are highly experienced in teaching both GCSE English Language and Literature. They can help your child with everything from analysing poetry and novels to perfecting their persuasive writing and exam technique across both papers.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
The tutor will tailor the session to your child's needs. It might start with a quick review of the last topic, then move onto tackling a new concept, like understanding iambic pentameter in a Shakespearean sonnet, and finish by practising some past paper questions to apply their new knowledge.
