The Right Support to Help Your Child Thrive in English
The right tutor does more than just teach the curriculum; they get to know your child. They'll quickly understand whether your child finds structuring essays tricky or struggles to get to grips with unseen poetry. Because we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, you can be sure you’re choosing from the very best. They are all background-checked, interviewed, and ready to create a supportive learning space for your child. Every single lesson is built around your child's specific needs. If they need to spend a session mastering spelling and grammar, that's what they'll do. If they need to practise exam technique for 'An Inspector Calls', their tutor will focus on that. This personalised approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs, we can even help improve results by up to two grades, securing that all-important place on their chosen A-Level course. Finding that perfect tutor is simple. You can browse profiles, watch introduction videos, and message them for free to make sure they’re a great fit. With lessons taking place online, they can happen at a time that suits your family's busy schedule, without you having to worry about travel. It's expert help, made easy.

George B
Creative English tutor
IntroductionHello. I’m George, and my aim as a tutor is to help students develop an understanding that lasts through their schoolwork, homework, and exams. I work toward this goal with patience, teaching in a relaxed way and challenging students as their confidence in a topic grows. Approach to lessonsDuring the first lesson, I often ask pupils to attempt some questions independently to gauge their ability. After this, we will work together on the difficult portions of the work, and I may use drawings, real-life situations and metaphors to explain specific rules or principles. My goal is to guide s...

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.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grades needed for Oldham Sixth Form College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE specialists and have extensive experience helping students secure the grades they need for college. They can focus on specific areas of the curriculum, improve exam technique, and build your child's confidence to help them achieve their goals.
My child hopes to go to the University of Manchester. Can a tutor support their A-Level journey?
Yes. We have many expert A-Level English tutors who can provide in-depth support for the step up from GCSE. They can help your child master complex texts and develop the analytical skills required for top grades, strengthening their university application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to look at their profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introduction videos. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals. It's all about finding someone your child connects with.
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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. 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 extra costs.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. When a tutor tailors lessons to their pace and celebrates small wins, it helps your child see their own progress, which is a huge confidence booster.
Are your tutors qualified to teach GCSE English?
Yes. Our tutors include qualified teachers, examiners, and subject matter experts with years of experience. We personally interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Definitely. Most English tutors are experts in both and can switch between them as needed. You can discuss your child's specific requirements with the tutor to create a lesson plan that covers everything they need.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How long are the sessions and how often should they be?
Most sessions are one hour long, and most students have one lesson per week. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or music?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Alongside core academic subjects like Maths and Science, your child can learn practical skills like coding and Python, a new language, or even how to play the guitar.
Why should I choose Tutorful?
We're trusted by thousands of parents, with a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. We focus on matching your child with a brilliant, background-checked tutor who can provide personalised, one-to-one support to help them succeed.
