Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Holly has been a fantastic tutor for my daughter, Anissa. She is patient, encouraging and explains things in a clear and supportive way.
Since starting lessons with Holly, Anissa’s confidence has grown noticeably, and she feels much more comfortable and positive in her learning. She really enjoys the sessions and speaks very warmly about Holly — she genuinely loves learning with her.
We’ve been very pleased with the progress so far and would highly recommend Holly to other families looking for a caring and effective tutor.

John has been an excellent English IGCSE tutor. He is very organised, enthusiastic and communicates clearly. He quickly built a strong rapport with my daughter, putting her at ease, and she is really enjoying the lessons and getting a lot out of them. John is helping her to build confidence, structure exam answers and prepare effectively for revision, and I feel the tutoring will be very beneficial in the run-up to her exams.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to Beauchamp College. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grade?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the high grades needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific skills, like essay writing and textual analysis, that are crucial for achieving a top grade in GCSE English.
We're hoping for Loughborough or Leicester University in the future. How can a tutor help now?
A strong GCSE English grade is a key building block for a successful university application. A tutor can help your child develop the critical thinking and writing skills that not only secure a great GCSE result but also form the foundation for A-Level success and beyond.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect match. Think about your child's specific needs – do they need help with confidence, or with a particular topic like Shakespeare? Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and professional?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the very best.
How much does an English tutor in Syston cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
What happens if we don't like the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. Thanks to 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 online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. Your child can work on everything from algebra problems to analysing poetry, just as they would in person.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a supportive, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement, helping them rebuild their self-belief at their own pace.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is ideal for making steady progress. However, you can arrange sessions as often as you feel your child needs, which is especially helpful during revision periods for exams.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens! You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English, or can my child learn skills like coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! Your child can learn practical skills like coding or Python, pick up a musical instrument like the guitar, or even learn a new language. There's something for everyone.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
We believe it's even better! Your child gets access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those nearby. Plus, with features like lesson recordings they can re-watch, and no travel time, it's a more convenient and focused way to learn.
