Rhian P
Great tutor for my son, he is set weekly tasks and enjoys the sessions!

Lee N
Lee has been a great tutor for our 15-year-old son, Leo. He’s really helped him with structuring his essays and breaking things down in a way that makes it much easier for Leo to understand and apply in his school work.
What’s made the biggest difference though is Lee himself. He has a really great personality and a relaxed way of teaching that puts Leo at ease straight away. Leo feels comfortable being himself in the sessions, which means he’s much more open to asking questions and having a go.
Since starting with Lee, Leo’s confidence with English has grown a lot and he’s actually started enjoying the subject again. The support and encouragement Lee gives has been really valuable for him in preparation for his GCSE's.

Flora is patient and takes the time to ensure my child understands concepts properly before moving on. She always comes well prepared, communicates effectively with my son, and explains things clearly. She also takes time to prepare homework assignments and resource materials to reinforce learning.
She’s easy to reach and is happy to chat with parents about progress and the ways we can support learning at home. My son enjoys her teaching and is happy to add one more lesson a week with Flora. I’d gladly recommend her to others looking for a solid tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a grammar school in Sutton or Kingston. Can I find a tutor with 11+ experience?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have specific experience with the requirements for the Sutton and Kingston grammar school entrance exams. You can filter for tutors with this expertise and even message them beforehand to discuss your child's needs.
My child is worried about the step up to GCSE English at their school in Southfields. How can a tutor help?
Yes, this is a common concern and a tutor can be a huge help. They can pre-teach tricky topics, fill in any knowledge gaps from KS3, and build a solid foundation in analysing texts and structuring essays, making the transition to GCSEs feel much less daunting for your child.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can easily browse tutor profiles, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. You can watch their introductory video to get a feel for their personality and even message them for free before booking. With a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews, you can feel confident you're choosing from the best.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for your child's learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study. Tutors set their own rates, and you can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile. This transparency allows you to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has undergone an enhanced DBS check. We also personally interview every tutor to ensure they have the right experience and a passion for teaching.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy to ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics, like analysing Shakespeare, into manageable steps, which builds self-belief over time.
What results can I expect for my child?
While every child's journey is unique, we're proud that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. Our goal is to help your child build confidence and understanding, which naturally leads to better results and a more positive attitude towards learning.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard length for a tutoring session is one hour. This gives enough time to tackle a specific topic without your child losing focus. You can discuss the ideal session length for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to coding in Python or even mastering a new language for fun, you can find expert tutors to support your child's hobbies and personal development.
Can I book a one-off lesson or do I have to commit to a block?
You have complete flexibility. You can book lessons one at a time as needed, for example, for a bit of extra help before an exam. Many parents find a regular weekly or fortnightly slot works best, but there's no pressure to commit to a block booking.
