Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a top grade in GCSE English to get into a competitive York sixth form. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Strensall come to us. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can help your child target the specific skills needed to achieve those higher grades (7-9), from exam technique to a deeper analysis of set texts.
We're thinking ahead to university applications, like for the University of York. Can an English tutor help with that?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experienced in helping with university applications. They can provide invaluable guidance on structuring a compelling personal statement that showcases your child's strengths and passion for their chosen subject, which is a crucial part of the UCAS process.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific goals. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
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.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your home, without any travel.
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, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics, which helps build self-belief step by step.
Can tutoring help with specific texts, like Shakespeare?
Definitely. Whether it's 'Romeo and Juliet' or 'An Inspector Calls', our tutors can dedicate entire sessions to helping your child understand characters, themes, and key quotes, which is crucial for their exams.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths by discussing it with your chosen tutor.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can often find a tutor and book your first lesson within 24 hours. Many of our tutors have flexible schedules to fit around your family's commitments.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. Your child could learn to code, play the guitar, or even master a new language with one of our expert tutors.
