Ben D
Ben has been a great tutor for my 16 year old doing his English GCSEs. Ben's tuition has improved my son's grade from a 4 up to between a 5-8, depending on the topic, in just a few months. He has also hugely improved his confidence, and his writing ability in other subjects such as History has improved as well. Ben has a relaxed, respectful and friendly approach that my son has really gotten on with, and he is enjoying feeling more confident for his English Language and Literature exams this year. I highly recommend Ben for your child's tuition.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Are there tutors familiar with the 11+ requirements for grammar schools near Sevenoaks?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in entrance exams, including the 11+ for Kent grammar schools. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in helping children prepare for these tests, focusing on areas like verbal reasoning and comprehension.
Can a tutor help my child with their personal statement for universities like the University of Kent?
Definitely. A-Level English tutors are fantastic at helping students craft compelling personal statements for their UCAS applications. They can help your child structure their ideas, refine their writing, and showcase their passion for their chosen subject, whether they're applying locally or further afield.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Think about your child's personality and learning style. You can message tutors for free before booking to ask about their experience and approach to ensure they're a great fit for your child.
How much does online English tutoring 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, from primary school to A-Level. This allows you to find an experienced tutor who fits your family's budget.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Each lesson is tailored to your child's needs. The tutor might use the interactive whiteboard to analyse a poem together, work through practice exam questions, or review an essay your child has written. It's a collaborative and engaging session focused entirely on helping your child make progress.
My child has lost their confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the most common reasons parents seek a tutor. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild your child's self-belief, which is just as important as their grades.
How do you make sure your tutors are qualified and safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every UK-based tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also have a rigorous application process and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't feel the first tutor is the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How many tutoring sessions will my child need?
This really depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others benefit from weekly lessons throughout the school year to build their skills and confidence over time. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
How effective is online tutoring?
It's very effective! Our online classroom has tools like an interactive whiteboard and document sharing that make lessons engaging and collaborative. Plus, with no travel time, it's easier to fit regular, consistent support into a busy family schedule, which is key to making real progress.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find expert tutors to help them explore their passions.
How quickly can we get started with a tutor?
You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a day or two. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to check their availability, and you can book your first session straight from their profile.
