Enthusiastic and thorough English tutor
Hello, my name is Antonia and I’m a fourth year medical student at Newcastle University. I like to keep things fun in lessons, and if one way of teaching isn’t working I’m open to switch it up and find something that works for you! I like to listen to how people find it easiest to learn and adapt my style to them, for example using diagrams for visual learners and repetition and mnemonics for auditory learners. I achieved 11 9s in my GCSEs and 4 A*s at A Level, as well as placing first in my year at University in first year, so I have the academic knowledge needed to tutor in depth and thoroughly. For B...

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 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.
