Professional English tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school. I had some recent feedback from a parent, stating that their child had "gone from being scared of maths (and trying to hide it by saying maths is boring) to loving it!" Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

John H
Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Gearoid C
Gearoid supported my son with GCSE English during a key transition period in Year 11. My son had moved schools and was adjusting to a different GCSE specification, which had left noticeable gaps in his knowledge. Gearoid helped him bridge those gaps methodically and clarified the expectations of the exam board.
From the very first session, there was a shift in confidence. My son came out saying, “So I’m not stupid.” Over time, that developed into him saying he “felt clever.” For a student who can struggle with processing speed and exam anxiety, this was a significant and meaningful change.
Gearoid is calm, professional and thoughtful in his approach. He communicates clearly, is reliable, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. I am grateful for the role he played in rebuilding both understanding and belief.

Flora is the best teacher that has ever taught my daughters. They even said they wish their English teacher at school were like Flora — which I think says everything. 😊 She is so patient, encouraging, and creates a positive atmosphere. It makes a real difference, and we truly appreciate her work.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Hawarden High School. Can a tutor help them specifically with the WJEC English curriculum?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience with the WJEC curriculum. You can view their profiles to see their specific expertise and even message them before booking to ensure they're the perfect fit to help your child with the exact requirements of their course.
Can a tutor help my child with their university application to Liverpool or Chester?
Definitely. A strong personal statement is crucial for applications to competitive universities like Liverpool and Chester. Our English tutors can help your child structure their thoughts, refine their writing, and present themselves in the best possible light, giving them a real advantage.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to look through the profiles of our tutors. You can watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and see their qualifications and experience. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's needs before you book a session.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English 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 do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process: every tutor must provide a valid DBS check and professional references. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This transparency allows you to find a brilliant, qualified tutor that fits your family's budget.
Can tutoring really help my child improve their GCSE grade?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. Our focused, one-to-one approach helps students grasp difficult topics and build exam confidence. In fact, we can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
How can online tutoring help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in a busy classroom. When a tutor tailors lessons to their specific needs, concepts start to click into place, and that success is a huge confidence booster.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat and an interactive whiteboard. A tutor might use it to analyse a poem with your child, work through essay plans together, or practice grammar exercises. It's a live, collaborative, and engaging learning experience.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most sessions are one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's schedule and concentration span.
How many students have you helped?
We're proud to have helped change lives through learning for over 200,000 students across the UK. It's wonderful to see so many children and adults achieve their goals with the support of our tutors.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language for fun, we can help.
