Alexander A
We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

asked questions

My child goes to Iveshead School. Can a tutor help them secure a place at Loughborough College?
Yes, absolutely. Many parents share this goal. Our tutors can focus specifically on the critical analysis and essay-writing skills needed to achieve the higher GCSE English grades that competitive sixth forms look for. They can tailor sessions to build your child's confidence and academic performance.
We're aiming for Loughborough University one day. How can an English tutor help now?
Building strong English skills at the GCSE level is the perfect foundation for A-Levels and university applications. A tutor can help your child develop the sophisticated analytical and communication skills that top universities value, setting them on the right path for future success.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding a great personality match for your child.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. 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 online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.

Lessons are typically one hour long. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. You can discuss the best lesson length for your child directly with your chosen tutor.

We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning an instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding and public speaking, you can find a brilliant tutor to support your child's hobbies and interests.
Can I track my child's progress?
