Flora I
Flora is a very patient, professional and well-prepared tutor. She always explains things clearly and teaches my son how to answer GCSE questions in a structured way. She provides homework, goes through mistakes carefully, and shows him how to improve his answers step by step. She also adjusts her teaching according to my son’s exam boards and level. My son is less anxious about English now and is slowly gaining confidence. We are very happy with her support and would definitely recommend her.
She is especially good at supporting students who are weaker in English and need clear guidance and structure.

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
We're aiming for a place at Rugby High or Lawrence Sheriff. Can a tutor help with the 11-Plus?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11-Plus preparation. They have extensive experience with the Verbal Reasoning and English components of the exam and can help your child build the specific vocabulary, comprehension, and reasoning skills needed to feel confident and prepared.
My child is thinking about the University of Warwick. Can a tutor help them prepare for A-Level English?
Definitely. We have many specialist A-Level English tutors who are experts in the curriculum. They can provide targeted support to help your child master complex texts, refine their essay writing, and achieve the top grades needed for entry into competitive universities like Warwick.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents to get a real sense of each tutor's personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs before booking your first lesson.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £20 to £45 per hour depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can easily filter tutors by price to find a great match that fits your family's budget.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit for your child. 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 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 way to share documents. It’s a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from home.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors must pass an identity check and have an up-to-date DBS certificate or equivalent background check before they can teach on our platform.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them overcome learning barriers and build real self-belief.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer lessons for a huge range of other skills! Your child can learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language or even public speaking.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's English?
Every child learns at their own pace, but regular, personalised sessions can make a big difference quite quickly. The goal is to build a solid foundation and lasting confidence, not just aim for a quick fix before an exam.
Can a tutor help with a specific part of the English curriculum, like poetry?
Yes, that's one of the main benefits of one-to-one tutoring. If your child is struggling with a particular topic, like analysing unseen poetry or understanding Shakespeare, their tutor can dedicate entire lessons to mastering that specific area.
What if my child has special educational needs (SEN)?
Many of our tutors have experience working with students with a wide range of learning needs. You can view their experience on their profile and message them directly to discuss how they can best support your child's individual learning style.
