Gearoid C
Gearoid supported my son with GCSE English during a key transition period in Year 11. My son had moved schools and was adjusting to a different GCSE specification, which had left noticeable gaps in his knowledge. Gearoid helped him bridge those gaps methodically and clarified the expectations of the exam board.
From the very first session, there was a shift in confidence. My son came out saying, “So I’m not stupid.” Over time, that developed into him saying he “felt clever.” For a student who can struggle with processing speed and exam anxiety, this was a significant and meaningful change.
Gearoid is calm, professional and thoughtful in his approach. He communicates clearly, is reliable, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. I am grateful for the role he played in rebuilding both understanding and belief.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for a place at a Sutton grammar school like Wilson's or Nonsuch. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English test?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and have experience with the specific requirements of the Selective Eligibility Test used by Sutton's grammar schools. They can help your child build their vocabulary, improve comprehension speed, and practise the skills needed to feel confident on exam day.
My child finds the timed comprehension sections of tests stressful. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, this is a very common concern and an area where one-to-one tutoring really helps. A tutor can work with your child on specific techniques for reading and understanding texts quickly, helping them to manage their time effectively and reduce exam-day anxiety.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for your child's learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, 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 best English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors directly to discuss your child's needs before booking. Look for tutors with specific experience in the area your child needs help with, whether that's 11+ preparation, GCSE creative writing, or A-Level textual analysis.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Tutor prices vary depending on their experience and level of demand. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget. All costs are clearly displayed on their profile with no hidden fees.
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, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has undergone a thorough background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week works well, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that fits your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your chosen tutor.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other things?
While we have tutors for all academic subjects from Primary to degree level, we also have experts in a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get help with coding, or even learn a new language.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. The one-to-one attention in a supportive, patient environment allows your child to ask questions they might not ask in class. Celebrating small wins and working at their own pace can make a huge difference to their self-belief.
How quickly will we see an improvement in our child's English?
Every child learns at a different pace, but the personalised focus of one-to-one tutoring often leads to progress quite quickly. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions.
What if my child needs help with a specific book or topic for school?
That's the great thing about one-to-one tutoring. You can let the tutor know exactly what your child is working on at school, and they can tailor the lessons to provide targeted support, whether it's understanding Shakespeare or preparing for a specific essay.
