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...

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...

George B
Creative English tutor
IntroductionHello. I’m George, and my aim as a tutor is to help students develop an understanding that lasts through their schoolwork, homework, and exams. I work toward this goal with patience, teaching in a relaxed way and challenging students as their confidence in a topic grows. Approach to lessonsDuring the first lesson, I often ask pupils to attempt some questions independently to gauge their ability. After this, we will work together on the difficult portions of the work, and I may use drawings, real-life situations and metaphors to explain specific rules or principles. My goal is to guide s...

Holly E
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.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to go to Oldham Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary English GCSE grade?
Absolutely. Our tutors are very familiar with the requirements for top local colleges. They can focus specifically on the curriculum and exam techniques your child needs to master to achieve the grades required for their A-Level choices.
With competition for schools like The Blue Coat so high, how can a tutor give my child an edge in English?
A tutor provides personalised attention that's simply not possible in a classroom of 30. They can identify and strengthen specific areas of weakness, from critical analysis to creative writing, building a deep understanding of the subject that helps your child stand out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can use our filters to find tutors with specific experience, such as GCSE exam boards or younger years. Watch their intro videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message to see if they're a good fit before you book. It's all about finding someone your child connects with.
How much does an online English tutor in Royton cost?
Tutor prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can tutoring help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions and make mistakes without fear of judgement. Tutors are brilliant at breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, which helps rebuild self-esteem and a love for the subject.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection. It's simple, secure, and effective.
Are your tutors background checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single UK-based tutor is identity and background checked before they can join Tutorful. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
What happens if we don't like the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. With 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 many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a weekly lesson throughout the school year, while others might just want a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
Can tutoring help my child get into a competitive university like Manchester or Leeds?
Yes, building strong foundations at GCSE is the first step. The analytical and essay-writing skills your child develops with a tutor are precisely what they'll need to succeed at A-Level and in their university applications.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we can certainly help with core academics like English, Maths and Science, your child can also explore hobbies and learn new skills like coding, playing the guitar, or even learning a new language.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. We encourage open communication between parents and tutors. You can message your tutor at any time to ask for updates, and they will often provide feedback on how your child is getting on and what they'll be covering in future lessons.
