I like to keep things fun in lessons, and if one way of teaching isn’t working I’m open to switch it up and find something that works for you! I like to listen to how people find it easiest to learn and adapt my style to them, for example using diagrams for visual learners and repetition and mnemonics for auditory learners. I achieved 11 9s in my GCSEs and 4 A*s at A Level, as well as placing first in my year at University in first year, so I have the academic knowledge needed to tutor in depth and thoroughly. For B...

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.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for A-Levels at Whickham School. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for competitive sixth forms. They can focus specifically on the skills needed to achieve a grade 6 or higher in GCSE English Language and Literature, giving your child the best possible chance of securing their place.
Can a tutor help strengthen my child's English skills for a future application to a competitive university like Durham or Newcastle?
Yes, definitely. The analytical and communication skills developed with an English tutor are exactly what Russell Group universities look for. Tutors can help your child learn to articulate complex ideas and build strong arguments, which is vital for both their personal statement and future undergraduate study.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can easily browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat so you and your child can meet them before booking a lesson to ensure it's a good fit.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
We take your child's safety very seriously. Every tutor is background-checked and has to pass a rigorous application process. In fact, we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, and you can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Can tutoring help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor builds a supportive relationship where your child feels safe to ask questions and make mistakes. This often leads to a huge boost in their confidence in the classroom.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed for progress. With consistent weekly lessons, many parents tell us they see a positive change in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few weeks.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Your child's tutor will tailor each lesson to their specific needs. A session might involve working through a tricky piece of homework, practising exam technique for an upcoming test, or focusing on a specific area like analysing Shakespearean language or structuring a persuasive essay.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different like coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English and Maths, you can also find experts in everything from coding and guitar to modern languages and music production.
Are lessons one-to-one?
Yes, all our lessons are one-to-one. This means your child gets the tutor's full, undivided attention, allowing them to focus entirely on your child's learning goals and adapt the lesson to their pace.
