Sophie C
Experienced English English Literature and Language tutor.
Hello! My name is Sophie and I graduated from Durham University in English Literature in June 2024. I decided to study English Literature at university because I've always loved reading books and discussing them at length. Reading and analysing books gives us a better understanding of the world we operate within, human psychology, and the past. Outside of English, I love to draw, knit, and embroider. I also come from a big family, so I love spending time with them when we are together. I grew up internationally and lived in several countries before finally moving back to the UK.I also write my...

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.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to get into Colyton Grammar School. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. While we can't guarantee entry, our tutors are experts at building the core English skills and confidence your child needs to perform at their best. They can focus on strengthening comprehension, analytical skills, and writing clarity, which are vital for sitting entrance exams or securing a place at a competitive school.
Can a tutor help my child prepare for A-Levels at Exeter College?
Definitely. A tutor can be a fantastic support in bridging the gap between GCSE and A-Level English. They can help your child master the more advanced textual analysis and independent thinking required for their A-Level studies, ensuring they start their courses at Exeter College feeling prepared and confident.
What if my child doesn't click with their first 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 choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking. Think about your child's personality and learning style – would they benefit from someone calm and patient, or someone energetic and engaging? Finding the right match is key to their success.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest hurdle. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor's focused encouragement and celebrating small wins can make a huge difference to how your child feels about their own abilities.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How much does an online English tutor in Seaton cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices typically start from around £15 per hour and vary based on the tutor's experience and level of demand. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It includes an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. Your child and their tutor can work through texts, edit essays, and practice exam questions together in real-time, just as they would in person.
My child finds analysing poetry really difficult. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is a very common challenge and a perfect example of how one-to-one tutoring helps. A tutor can dedicate entire sessions to breaking down poems, exploring literary devices, and building a simple, effective method for analysis until your child feels comfortable tackling it on their own.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Most lessons are one hour long, and most families choose to have one session per week. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child and your family, whether that's more frequent lessons leading up to an exam or fortnightly top-ups.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. The biggest sign, though, is often seeing your child's confidence grow. When they start contributing more in class or tackling homework without the usual struggle, you'll know it's working.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're well known for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we have tutors for hundreds of subjects! Your child can learn anything from a new language or a musical instrument like the guitar, to practical skills like coding.
