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 goes to Bedlington Academy. Can a tutor help with their specific GCSE English course?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced with the main UK exam boards (like AQA and Edexcel). During your free chat with a tutor, you can discuss the specific curriculum and texts your child is studying at school to ensure the lessons are perfectly aligned with what they need to know.
My child hopes to go to university at Newcastle or Northumbria. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes. A strong GCSE English grade is a key entry requirement for most university courses. A tutor can help your child secure that grade. For older students, our tutors can also provide support with A-Level English and even help with drafting their personal statement for their university application.
How can a tutor help my child get the grade 4/5 they need in GCSE English?
A tutor provides one-to-one attention that's impossible in a busy classroom. They can identify the exact topics or skills holding your child back, whether it's understanding a specific text or structuring an essay. By working on these weak spots, they build both knowledge and confidence, which is key to achieving that crucial pass grade.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read their bios, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to arrange a free 15-minute chat. It’s the perfect way to see if their personality and teaching style are a good fit for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor, 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 much do online English tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter tutors on our site by price to find someone who fits your budget. All costs are shown upfront on their profile, so there are no surprises.
Are your tutors properly vetted?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed by our team and must pass a background check before they can join our platform. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat function, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child just needs a laptop or computer with a microphone, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. As their tutor helps them grasp difficult topics, their self-belief grows, and that new confidence often benefits them in all their subjects, not just English.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
The standard lesson length is one hour. We find this gives enough time to properly tackle a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor if you feel your child would benefit from it.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we have tutors for all core academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also offer a huge range of other skills. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning to play the guitar or piano to practical skills like coding and public speaking.
How quickly can we find a tutor and get started?
You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors are able to offer a lesson within a few days. Simply use our search filters to find tutors with availability that matches your family's schedule and send them a message to arrange your first session.
