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

We're aiming for a place at a Trafford grammar school. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are experienced with the specific requirements of the Trafford grammar school entrance exams, including comprehension and creative writing sections. They can help your child build the specific skills and exam techniques needed to feel confident on the day.
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Manchester. Can a tutor support their A-Level English and UCAS application?
Definitely. Our tutors can provide expert support for A-Level English Language or Literature, helping your child deepen their understanding and aim for top grades. Many can also offer guidance on crafting a strong personal statement for their UCAS application, which is a crucial step for competitive universities.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter tutors by their experience, such as GCSE or 11+ specialisms. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their approach and ensure they're a good fit for your child's personality and learning needs.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just 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 Stretford cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden costs.
How can tutoring help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
One-to-one tuition is fantastic for building confidence. In a supportive, private setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics, helping your child see their own progress and start to enjoy the subject again.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity checks and background checks, before they can join our platform. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring the highest quality and safety.

It's simple! Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's designed to be engaging and easy to use, allowing your child to learn effectively from the comfort of home.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum! Alongside English, Maths, and Science, you can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding in Python to mastering a new language. It's a great way for your child to explore new interests.
Can a tutor help with my child's GCSEs?
Yes, our tutors are brilliant at helping students prepare for their GCSEs. They can help your child get to grips with the syllabus, practise exam questions, and refine their technique. In fact, we can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss lesson length with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration span.
How many lessons will my child need?
This really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly sessions throughout the school year. You can discuss a flexible plan with your tutor with no long-term commitment required.
