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.

We're aiming for a place at Beckfoot School or a Bradford grammar. Can we find a tutor with 11+ experience?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in entrance exams, including the 11+. You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience in preparing children for grammar and independent school entry, helping them build the skills and confidence they need.
My child is hoping to study at the University of Leeds or York. Can a tutor help with A-Level English?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors can provide fantastic support for A-Level English, helping your child with everything from complex texts to essay technique. They can also be a brilliant help when it comes to crafting a compelling personal statement for their UCAS application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to look through the tutor profiles. You can see their experience, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. We recommend messaging a few to find the perfect personality fit before booking your first session.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is everything. 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 online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. This means you can easily find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits within your family's budget. You can see each tutor's price clearly on their profile.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space for sharing documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is interviewed and has their ID verified. They also undergo a background check before they can teach on our platform. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
A one-to-one tutor can make a huge difference. By creating a safe, encouraging space, they can help your child work through difficulties without the pressure of a classroom. They celebrate small wins and build your child's self-belief lesson by lesson.
My child finds poetry really difficult. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, many of our English tutors are brilliant at making tricky topics like poetry analysis feel much more approachable. They can break down poems, explain literary devices, and help your child build the skills to write about them with confidence.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set number. It completely depends on your child's goals. Some parents book a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others prefer regular weekly lessons to provide consistent support throughout the school year. It's completely flexible.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have expert tutors for all core academic subjects, we also have talented tutors who can teach a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
How quickly can we find a tutor and get started?
You can get started very quickly. Simply search for English tutors, message a few you think would be a good fit, and arrange your first session. Many parents are able to find a tutor and have their first lesson booked within 24 hours.
