Carole G
Professional English tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school. I had some recent feedback from a parent, stating that their child had "gone from being scared of maths (and trying to hide it by saying maths is boring) to loving it!" Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

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 goes to Shipston High School. Can a tutor help with the specific challenges they face there?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience supporting students with the specific curriculum and exam boards used at schools like Shipston High. They can tailor lessons to match what your child is learning in class, helping them consolidate their knowledge, prepare for assessments, and build confidence.
We're concerned about the competitive nature of nearby grammar schools in Warwickshire. Can a tutor help my child keep up?
Yes, we understand that pressure. A one-to-one tutor can provide the focused support your child needs to not just keep up, but to feel confident and capable. They can work on strengthening core analytical and writing skills, ensuring your child has a solid foundation to excel and feel positive about their abilities.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is really important, and we want you to be completely happy. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can start by looking at tutor profiles, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also have introductory videos to give you a sense of their personality. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to ensure you find the perfect fit.
How can a tutor help my child with GCSE English Language and Literature specifically?
A tutor can provide targeted support for both papers. For Literature, they can help your child dive deeper into texts like 'Macbeth' or 'An Inspector Calls', improving their quote analysis and essay writing. For Language, they can work on everything from creative writing techniques to understanding how to analyse unseen texts, building skills for exam day.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has had their ID and qualifications verified. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £20 to £45, depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
My child has lost all their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. This is one of the most important things a tutor does. By providing patient, one-to-one support in a positive environment, a tutor can help your child understand difficult topics, see their own progress, and start to feel capable and motivated again. Rebuilding that self-belief is often the first step to achieving better results.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection. It’s a convenient way to get expert help from the comfort of your home.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child is different, but consistent weekly lessons can make a significant impact. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is usually a chance for the tutor to get to know your child. They'll chat about what your child finds easy or difficult in English, what their goals are, and how they like to learn. It's a relaxed session designed to build rapport and create a plan for future lessons.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a wide range of other skills. From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to coding in Python or even mastering a new language, you can find expert tutors for hundreds of subjects on our platform.
