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 hopes to go to Strode College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the higher grades needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus specifically on the analytical and essay-writing skills that will help your child's application stand out.
We're aiming for a competitive university like Bristol or Bath. How can an English tutor support this goal?
A strong command of English is crucial for applications to top universities. A tutor can help your child develop advanced analytical skills, refine their writing style for personal statements, and build the confidence to articulate complex ideas – all of which are highly valued by admissions teams.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. Many tutors have experience with specific exam boards or texts your child is studying. You can also message them before booking to ensure they’re the right fit.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find someone who fits your budget, with prices starting from as little as £15 per hour.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are ID and background-checked. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to ensure the highest quality.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space works wonders for confidence. When a child understands a topic they previously struggled with, their self-belief grows. Our tutors are experts at creating a positive learning environment where it's safe to ask questions.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach gets results. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we've seen GCSE students improve by up to two grades with consistent support.
Can I message a tutor before I book a lesson?
Of course. We encourage you to send a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs and goals. This helps you get a feel for their teaching style and ensures you find the perfect partner for your child's learning journey.
Can a tutor help if my child only struggles with one part of English, like Shakespeare?
Yes, that's one of the main benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Lessons are completely tailored, so the tutor can focus entirely on the specific areas your child finds most challenging, whether that's understanding Elizabethan language or analysing poetry.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or guitar?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. From learning to code in Python to mastering the guitar or learning a new language, you can find expert tutors to help your child explore their passions and develop new skills.
