Since the age of 17, I have been teaching Maths, English and the Sciences to members of my family as well as to students of various ages and abilities. By having a high variance in my student's abilities I am able to teach complex concepts in simple terms, this allows for the student to no longer feel anxious on a topic matter. I am offering to teach from primary all the way up to A level in various subjects. My strongest topics are the sciences and mathematics but I am also more than capable to teach English up to KS3. Furthermore, I have a vast amount of experience teaching younger children in...

Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to George Spencer Academy. Can a tutor help them meet the high expectations for their English GCSEs?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for top grades. They can create a tailored plan that addresses the specific demands of the GCSE curriculum, building your child's confidence and skills to help them meet those high expectations.
We're hoping our child will aim for the University of Nottingham. Can a tutor help with the skills needed for A-Levels and their application?
Yes, definitely. A strong foundation in English is crucial for A-Levels. Our tutors can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills they'll need for their studies and to craft a compelling personal statement for their university application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It’s simple. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask about their experience and teaching style to make sure they're a great fit for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 does an online English tutor in Stapleford cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile. You can easily filter your search to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for working through problems together, and a way to share documents like essays or past papers. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be hesitant to ask in class. Tutors provide constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which helps build self-esteem and a more positive approach to learning.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID and qualifications verified. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually perfect for keeping your child focused and engaged. Many families start with one session per week, but you can arrange a schedule that best suits your child's needs and goals directly with your tutor.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Yes, and many families find it even better! It's more convenient, cuts out travel time, and gives you access to the best tutors from across the UK, not just those who live nearby. Our purpose-built online classroom makes learning interactive and engaging.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in hundreds of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn coding, play the guitar, or practice a new language, you can find an expert tutor on Tutorful.
What happens if we need to reschedule a lesson?
We understand that life can be busy. You can easily reschedule or cancel a lesson with your tutor. We just ask that you give at least 24 hours' notice to your tutor to avoid being charged for the session.
