Since the age of 17, I have been teaching Maths, English and the Sciences to members of my family as well as to students of various ages and abilities.

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
The local secondary schools are very competitive. Can a tutor help my child keep up?
Absolutely. A private tutor can provide focused, one-to-one support that complements their schoolwork. By identifying and strengthening specific areas your child finds tricky, a tutor can help them build confidence, stay on track, and feel more prepared for the demands of a competitive school environment.
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Nottingham or Derby. Can a tutor help?
Yes. Our tutors can be fantastic mentors. Many have experience helping students with their A-Levels and university applications, including personal statements. They can help your child secure the strong GCSE and A-Level grades needed to make a competitive application to respected universities like Nottingham and Derby.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It’s easy to find the perfect fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check qualifications, and see reviews from other parents just like you. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to ensure you find someone you're both comfortable with.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you have the best possible experience. That's why we offer a 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.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £15 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a great tutor who fits your budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It has all the tools your child needs for an engaging, effective and fun learning experience.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one tuition creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling self-conscious. This personalised attention helps them master tricky topics at their own pace, and seeing their own progress is one of the biggest confidence boosters there is.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature GCSEs?
Yes, definitely. Many of our English tutors are experts in both the Language and Literature GCSE specifications. They can help your child with everything from analysing poetry and novels to mastering grammar and persuasive writing techniques.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns differently, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, we get it. Our tutors are generally very flexible. You can reschedule or cancel lessons directly with your tutor. We just ask that you give them at least 12 hours' notice to avoid being charged for the session.
Is this just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
It's for much more than just school subjects! We have expert tutors who can teach a huge range of skills, from learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to more technical skills like coding in Python. There's something for everyone.
