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 is hoping to apply to Strode's or Esher College. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for families we work with. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target specific grades for college entry. They can focus on weak areas, refine exam technique, and build the confidence your child needs to achieve the results required for their chosen A-Levels.
We live in Spelthorne. Are the tutors familiar with the national curriculum followed in local schools?
Yes, all our UK-based tutors are experts in the national curriculum for England, including the specific exam boards (like AQA and Edexcel) used by schools in and around Spelthorne. They can tailor lessons to align perfectly with what your child is learning in class.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs and ensure it's a great match.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know how important the right fit is, which is 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 your first session with a new tutor.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process: every tutor is background-checked and has their ID and qualifications verified. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
My child lacks confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild self-esteem and a positive attitude towards learning.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your own home.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experienced in teaching both GCSE English Language and Literature. They can help your child switch between analysing poetry and perfecting their persuasive writing, covering all aspects of the curriculum.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more sessions in the run-up to an exam or fewer during school holidays. You can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor.
How long does it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the personalised focus of one-to-one tuition means progress can happen quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like coding or a musical instrument?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core academic ones! You can find expert tutors for everything from coding and graphic design to learning the guitar or a new language. It's a great way to support your child's hobbies and interests too.
