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.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to apply to a competitive sixth form like Hills Road. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students meet the high entry requirements for sought-after colleges. They can focus on strengthening the specific skills and exam techniques needed to secure the top GCSE grades required for A-Level study.
Are your tutors familiar with the standards expected for applications to top universities like Cambridge?
Yes, many of our tutors are graduates from top universities themselves and understand the level of analytical and writing skill required. They can help your child develop the deeper critical thinking that admissions tutors look for, building a strong foundation long before the UCAS application process begins.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right personal connection is key to learning. 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 the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications and experience on their profile. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and make sure they're a great fit.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all 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 check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space makes a huge difference. Tutors can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and create a safe environment for your child to ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. This personalised approach is fantastic for building self-belief.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, allowing them to collaborate with their tutor in real-time.
My child struggles with exam technique. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. This is one of the most common areas where tutors can help. They can work through past papers, teach your child how to structure their answers effectively, and help them manage their time in an exam hall to make sure they can show the examiner what they know.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have experts in all school subjects from primary to A-Level, we also offer a wide range of other skills. You can find tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and public speaking.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson once a week works best, especially for consistent progress towards a goal like the GCSE exams. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what's right for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can message your tutor at any time to ask for updates. Many tutors provide regular feedback after each session, so you'll always know what your child is working on and how they're improving.
