Megan G
Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is set on going to Carmel College. Can a tutor help them meet the specific GCSE English requirements?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very familiar with the entry requirements for popular sixth forms like Carmel College. They can focus sessions on hitting the specific grades your child needs in English Language and Literature, building both their skills and their confidence for the exams.
We live in St Helens. Does that mean the tutor has to be local?
Not at all. Because all our lessons are online, your child can connect with the best English tutors from across the UK. This gives you a much wider choice of experts, including those with experience helping students secure places at competitive universities like Liverpool and Manchester, ensuring you find the perfect match.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications on their profile. You can also send a message to a tutor before booking to discuss your child's needs and see if they're a good fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is so important, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online English tuition cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but typically range from £20 to £45 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and examples, and a facility for uploading documents like past papers or essays. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We also have a strict selection process, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How can a tutor help my child with exam anxiety?
A tutor can be a huge help with this. By practising exam techniques, working through past papers, and plugging any gaps in their knowledge, a tutor builds your child's subject confidence. Feeling prepared is one of the best ways to reduce anxiety and help them perform at their best.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with core subjects for their GCSEs and A-Levels, we also have brilliant tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, we can help.
What results can we realistically expect?
Tutoring is a partnership between the student and the tutor, and results depend on the work they put in together. However, we're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor if needed.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress and building momentum. For more intensive support in the run-up to exams, you might arrange more frequent sessions. It's completely flexible and can be discussed with your tutor.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
