Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced online tutor, who has been teaching English Language & Literature, and Religious Studies online since 2013. I am a fully qualified teacher with a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education.While I am a passionate tutor of each of these two subjects individually, more importantly I feel that my experience in each subject contributes something to the other.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're worried about getting a Grade 4 in GCSE English for local apprenticeships. Can a tutor focus on that?
Yes, absolutely. This is a very common goal we help with. Tutors can create a targeted plan to focus on the key skills needed to secure that crucial pass grade, building your child's confidence in exam technique and subject knowledge.
My child wants to apply for a course at Coleg Cambria. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students prepare strong applications. They can work with your child on their personal statement and interview skills, ensuring their communication abilities shine through.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. You can also send them a message before booking to make sure they're the right fit for your child's personality and learning goals.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is important. 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 does online tutoring work?
It's simple and all in one place. Lessons take place in our specially-designed online classroom, which features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection.
Are all the tutors background checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted to join Tutorful.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts – you just pay as you go for the lessons you book.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor builds a positive and encouraging relationship with your child, creating a safe space to ask questions without fear of judgement. They celebrate small wins and break down tricky topics, rebuilding confidence step-by-step.
How often should my child have a lesson?
It's completely up to you and your child's needs. Many families find a weekly one-hour session works well, especially when preparing for exams, but you can arrange a schedule that fits your life with your chosen tutor.
What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring companies?
We give you the choice and control to find the perfect tutor for your child from our hand-picked community of experts. With over 4,100+ reviews and a 4.6-star rating, we're proud to have helped over 200,000 students find the support they need.
Can tutoring really improve my child's grades?
Yes, we see it every day. Our focused, one-to-one approach works – 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs specifically, we can help students improve by up to two grades.
Do you only offer help with school subjects like English?
While we have expert tutors for all core academic subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas! You can find tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to speaking a new language.
