Rachel B
Enthusiastic tutor of Food, Nutrition and English.
I have been teaching Food and Nutrition to GCSE standard in secondary schools for over 20 years. This has involved me planning, preparing and delivering both theory and practical lessons for students, always endeavouring to make the subject as fun and engaging as possible. Very often students opt for this subject at GCSE believing it is ' just cooking' but there is so much more to it than that! Particularly in recent times, the amount of food science content in the Food curriculum has really increased, and this can be quite daunting for students to get to grips with. I really enjoy helping them...

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 wants to study A-Levels at the Isle of Wight College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grade?
Yes, absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Ryde come to us. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the specific GCSE grades they need for their chosen post-16 pathways. They can focus on the exact areas of the curriculum your child needs to improve on to meet those entry requirements.
Can a tutor help my child with their personal statement for universities like Southampton or Portsmouth?
Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students with university applications, including crafting compelling personal statements. They can help your child structure their ideas and articulate their strengths, which is a crucial step for applications to competitive universities.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Think about your child's specific needs – do they need help with essay writing or understanding poetry? You can filter tutors by their experience to find the best match.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget and filter your search to find a tutor that works for your family. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile with no hidden costs.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 can a tutor help build my child's confidence?
Often, a lack of confidence comes from not understanding a specific topic. In a one-to-one setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Our tutors provide a patient and encouraging space where students can build skills at their own pace, leading to a real boost in confidence.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. A tutor might use the whiteboard to break down a poem's structure or work through an essay plan with your child in real-time.
We live in Ryde. How does online tutoring work for us?
Online tutoring offers complete flexibility. Your child can have their lesson from the comfort of home, saving you time on travel. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How long are lessons and how often should my child have them?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most students have one session per week, but this is completely flexible and can be arranged with your tutor. You can schedule more lessons during critical times like the run-up to GCSE exams.
My child finds analysing texts like 'An Inspector Calls' really difficult. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. Our tutors can focus specifically on the areas your child finds most challenging. They can dedicate entire sessions to character analysis, theme exploration, or quote memorisation for set texts to help your child feel fully prepared for their exams.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we have tutors for all core academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have experts who can teach practical skills like learning an instrument, coding, or a new language. You can find a tutor for almost anything!
