Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at a competitive sixth form near Stanley. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grades they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure grades 6-9 in GCSE English Language and Literature. They can focus on the specific skills needed to impress admissions tutors at local colleges and help your child build a strong application for their chosen A-Levels.
With universities like Durham and Newcastle nearby, can a tutor help prepare my child for the step up to A-Level English?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors can not only help your child secure the GCSE grades they need but also start introducing them to the analytical skills and independent study habits required for A-Level. It's a great way to give them a head start and build their confidence for more advanced study.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals to ensure they're a great match.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is essential for learning. That's why we have our 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 do online English tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can make a huge difference. By creating a safe space to ask questions and work at their own pace, tutors help students overcome learning blocks and see that they are capable of succeeding, which builds lasting confidence.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can join our platform. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
How does online tutoring work?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session a week is effective, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child with your chosen tutor. It's completely flexible.
Can tutoring help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experts in both. They can help your child with everything from creative writing and analysing unseen texts for Language, to understanding character and theme in their set Literature texts.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or practise their public speaking, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
My child finds English boring. How can a tutor help?
A great tutor can bring the subject to life! By connecting texts and topics to your child's interests and showing them new ways to think about the subject, they can spark a genuine curiosity and make learning English feel engaging and relevant.
