Ameela R
Ameena tutored our son for an English language retake and he got an 8! He went up 3 grades from a 5. Her tutoring was focussed and responsive and she did it all over about 7 weeks. Could not ask for more. Thank you so much Ameena!

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to go to Outwood Grange Academy or Barnsley College. Can a tutor help them meet the GCSE English entry requirements?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades needed for competitive colleges. They can focus on the exact areas of the GCSE English curriculum your child needs to strengthen to secure a strong pass and feel confident in their applications.
We live in Ryhill, are the tutors familiar with the local school curriculum?
Because our tutors are online and based across the UK, they are experts in the national curriculum for England, which all schools follow. They have extensive experience with the major exam boards like AQA and Edexcel, ensuring the support your child receives is perfectly aligned with what they're learning in school.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask any specific questions you have about how they can help your child.
What happens if we don't click with the 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 prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £20 to £45 per hour. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your family's budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. It's a secure and engaging space designed specifically for one-to-one learning.
Are your 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 before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, tutors help build the self-belief that makes a huge difference in the classroom and in exams.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Definitely. Most English tutors are experts in both and can switch between them as needed. You can discuss your child's specific requirements with the tutor to create a lesson plan that covers everything from analysing poetry to mastering persuasive writing.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with things like creative writing or public speaking?
While we're well-known for core academic subjects, we also have tutors who specialise in a wide range of other skills. You can find tutors for everything from creative writing and music to coding and new languages, helping your child explore their passions.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's English grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents see a boost in their child's confidence within a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring.
What if my child has a specific learning need, like dyslexia?
Many of our tutors have experience and qualifications in supporting students with specific learning needs (SpLD) like dyslexia. You can use our search filters to find tutors with this expertise or mention it when you message them to ensure they are the right fit for your child.
