Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grade they need for Chesterfield College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced with the GCSE English curriculum. They can work with your child to target the specific skills needed to secure a Grade 4 or higher, helping them feel confident about meeting the entry requirements for courses at Chesterfield College, West Nottinghamshire College, and beyond.
My child is thinking about applying to universities like Derby or Nottingham Trent. Can a tutor help?
Yes. While our tutors focus on curriculum support, many also have experience helping students with their personal statements and developing the advanced analytical skills needed for A-Levels and university applications. Building a strong English foundation now is the perfect first step for future success.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents say about them. We recommend watching their short intro video to get a feel for their teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to ask any specific questions you have.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If it's not the right fit for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an amazing tutor who fits your family's budget.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
My child really lacks confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. This personalised attention helps them feel understood and capable, which can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
We're aiming to improve my child's GCSE grade. Is that realistic?
Yes, it's very realistic. We know that focused, one-to-one support can make a huge impact. In fact, our data shows that working with a Tutorful tutor can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
Do you only offer help with school subjects like English?
While we're experts in core academic subjects, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach a wide range of skills. Whether your child is interested in learning to play the guitar, speak a new language, or even get started with coding, we can help you find the right expert.
How many lessons a week should my child have?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point. This provides consistent support without being overwhelming. Your tutor can discuss your child's specific goals with you and recommend a frequency that works best for them.
What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring companies?
We focus on finding the perfect match between your child and their tutor. With over 4,100+ customer reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, parents trust us to provide high-quality, personalised, and safe online learning that gets real results.
