Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're in Staveley and worried about our child keeping up with standards set by schools like Netherthorpe. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students reach their full potential. They can work with your child to strengthen their skills, build confidence, and ensure they have a solid understanding of the curriculum, helping them feel prepared and on track.
Can I find a tutor specifically to help my child secure a Grade 5 in GCSE English for entry to Chesterfield College?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in GCSE English and have a great track record of helping students achieve the grades they need. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we can help your child improve their GCSE results by up to two grades. You can discuss your child's specific goals with tutors before booking.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit. 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs and goals. It’s all about finding someone your child will connect with.
Can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Rebuilding that confidence is often the first step to seeing their grades improve.
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.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they all undergo a background check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond core academics, your child can learn anything from coding and playing the guitar to music production and new languages. It's a great way to support their hobbies and personal development too.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson a week, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child and your family, whether that's weekly sessions, a block of lessons before an exam, or occasional top-ups.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to discuss how things are going. The goal is to work as a team to support your child's learning.
What does my child need for their first online lesson?
All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. It’s a good idea for them to have a think about what they’d like to work on, but the tutor will guide the first session.
