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.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to Prior Pursglove College. Can a tutor help them meet the GCSE English entry requirements?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced in helping students secure the grades they need for specific college courses. They can focus on the exact skills and exam techniques required to help your child feel confident and prepared to meet Prior Pursglove's entry standards.
We live in Skelton. Does my child's tutor need to be local too?
Not at all. Because all lessons are online, you can choose the absolute best tutor for your child from anywhere in the UK. This gives you access to a much wider choice of subject specialists than you would find locally, so you can find the perfect match for your child's needs and personality.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have to say. Many tutors also have introduction videos to give you a feel for their teaching style. You can message them before booking to make sure they're a good fit for your child.
What if my child doesn't get on 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.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget and filter your search to find someone who fits. All pricing is shown clearly on the tutors' profiles, so there are no hidden costs.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked with an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor celebrates small wins and helps your child see their own progress, which can make a huge difference to their confidence in the classroom.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It’s simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It has all the tools needed for your child to have an engaging, effective lesson from the comfort of home.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE texts like 'An Inspector Calls' or Shakespeare?
Yes, definitely. Our English tutors are subject matter experts and can provide focused support on the specific set texts, poems, or plays your child is studying for their exams. They can help with everything from understanding themes to analysing key quotes.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most families choose to have one lesson per week, but it's completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child's goals and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond core academic subjects like English, your child can learn anything from coding and music production to playing the guitar. We believe in learning for life, not just for exams.
How do I know if tutoring is working for my child?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. Often, the first sign is a boost in your child's confidence and how they talk about the subject. This is usually followed by better results in homework and school tests.
