Abdul M
Passionate and Experienced English Tutor
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. By having a high variance in my student's abilities I am able to teach complex concepts in simple terms, this allows for the student to no longer feel anxious on a topic matter. I am offering to teach from primary all the way up to A level in various subjects. My strongest topics are the sciences and mathematics but I am also more than capable to teach English up to KS3. Furthermore, I have a vast amount of experience teaching younger children in...

Expert GCSE English Tutor
22 students received their GCSE results this year - my biggest Y11 cohort yet, and with record success: 🎓 76% achieved top grades (7–9). 🍎 Every single student improved by at least one grade - and 80% jumped by two grades or more. ✏️ Four students were previously struggling at grade 3 - all passed, and two went on to secure a grade 6. 🏫 One student rose from a grade 4 at the end of Year 10 to a grade 9 at GCSE! Because I had so many students finishing their GCSEs this year, it means I have more spaces from September.Emails from students on GCSE Results Day:Student 1 (Edexcel IGCSE English): "Dea...

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.

Highly recommend, without reservation.

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
Can a tutor help my child get the English GCSE grade they need for West Nottinghamshire College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades needed for college entry. They can focus on the exam board your child's school uses, work on past papers, and build the skills and confidence needed to secure a place on their chosen A-Level course.
My child hopes to go to the University of Nottingham one day. Can tutoring now really make a difference?
Yes, it can. Strong GCSE and A-Level grades are the foundation for a competitive university application. An English tutor can help your child develop the critical thinking, analytical, and writing skills that top universities like the University of Nottingham look for in their students.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important, which is 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.
Is tutoring just for core subjects like English and Maths?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also offer support for hobbies and personal development. Your child could learn a new language, master the guitar, or even get into coding with one of our expert tutors.
There are so many tutors. How do I choose the right one for my child in Selston?
You can filter tutors by subject, level, and price. We recommend reading their profiles and reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a free video chat, which is a great way for you and your child to meet them and see if their personality and teaching style are a good match before booking.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
My child has lost confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a safe, supportive space, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down big topics into manageable steps, which is a fantastic way to rebuild their self-belief.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It’s simple to use and means your child can learn from an expert tutor anywhere in the UK, right from your home in Selston.
How do you make sure tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must have a valid DBS background check. We also verify their ID and references. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson a week, which gives them time to practise what they've learned. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange lessons with your tutor as often as you need, whether that's a one-off session before an exam or regular weekly support.
How quickly will I see a change in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and a more positive attitude towards their studies.
Our family schedule is really busy. Is tutoring flexible?
Yes, that's a key benefit of online tutoring. You're not limited to tutors in your immediate area, so you have a much wider choice of available times. You can find a tutor who can fit lessons in after school, in the evening, or even at weekends, whatever works best for your family.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.

your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
