Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic English Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

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 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.
