Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.

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.

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.
