Hi all, my name is Kay. I’m a caring and enthusiastic primary teacher who believes every child deserves to feel happy, confident, and proud of their learning.

Pam P
Experienced English Tutor
I am a semi- retired Primary School teacher. I have worked with all age groups in the Primary setting and have a specialised knowledge in the teaching of reading. To keep up to date with the changes in the curriculum I take on some supply work. Over the years I have been tutoring I have helped many pupils reach there full potential. I believe in an individual approach as no two children are the same. This cannot be achieved by the big centres offering only one way of learning.I have taught children who struggle to read, increasing reading age dramatically over a short time and have helped children...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for a grammar school in Birmingham or Walsall. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English and Verbal Reasoning papers?

Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have extensive experience with the specific requirements of the Birmingham and Walsall grammar school entrance exams. They can help your child build confidence in both English and Verbal Reasoning.

We want to ensure my child gets the grades for A-Levels at Sandwell College. Can a tutor focus specifically on the GCSE English curriculum?

Of course. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE English Language and Literature curricula. They can create a tailored learning plan that focuses on securing a Grade 5 or above, covering everything from essay writing and textual analysis to exam strategy.

How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?

You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a free introductory chat, which is a great way for you and your child to meet them and ensure it's a good fit before booking a lesson.

What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. That's why we have a 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 much does an online English tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are displayed clearly on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts.

Are the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence?

One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged by their peers. This personalised attention helps them master topics they find difficult, and as their understanding grows, so does their confidence.

What happens in a typical online English lesson?

Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat and an interactive whiteboard. A tutor might work through a specific text with your child, review homework, or practise exam questions together, tailoring the session to what your child needs most.

Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?

While we have tutors for all academic subjects from primary to degree level, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, speak a new language, or even get help with coding and programming.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

The standard lesson length is one hour, which most students find is the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths by discussing it directly with your tutor.

Do I have to commit to a block of lessons?

No, there's no need to commit. You can book lessons as you go, whether you need a one-off session to help with a specific essay or regular weekly support in the run-up to exams. It's completely flexible to suit your family's needs.

How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's results?

Every child learns at their own pace, but our personalised approach is designed to make a real impact. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
