Lynn has only been helping my daughter for a few lessons; however, I can already see how much my daughter’s confidence in her writing and analysis has improved! My daughter is now applying the structure and techniques Lynn has taught her to other English essays.

Lee N
Lee has been a great tutor for our 15-year-old son, Leo. He’s really helped him with structuring his essays and breaking things down in a way that makes it much easier for Leo to understand and apply in his school work.
What’s made the biggest difference though is Lee himself. He has a really great personality and a relaxed way of teaching that puts Leo at ease straight away. Leo feels comfortable being himself in the sessions, which means he’s much more open to asking questions and having a go.
Since starting with Lee, Leo’s confidence with English has grown a lot and he’s actually started enjoying the subject again. The support and encouragement Lee gives has been really valuable for him in preparation for his GCSE's.

Flora I
Flora is patient and takes the time to ensure my child understands concepts properly before moving on. She always comes well prepared, communicates effectively with my son, and explains things clearly. She also takes time to prepare homework assignments and resource materials to reinforce learning.
She’s easy to reach and is happy to chat with parents about progress and the ways we can support learning at home. My son enjoys her teaching and is happy to add one more lesson a week with Flora. I’d gladly recommend her to others looking for a solid tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is worried about getting into a competitive sixth form. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have extensive experience helping students prepare for entry into competitive sixth forms. They can focus on strengthening your child's WJEC exam technique and building the core English skills needed to meet high academic benchmarks, giving them the best possible chance of securing a place.
We're aiming for a place at Cardiff University. Can a tutor support with the skills needed for that level?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills that Russell Group universities like Cardiff University look for. They can work on building a strong foundation at GCSE that will serve them well through A-Levels and into higher education.
Can a tutor help with the specific WJEC English curriculum?
Yes. Many of our English tutors are very familiar with the WJEC syllabus used in Wales. You can check their profile bios or message them directly to confirm they have experience with the specific texts and exam requirements your child is working on.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that finding the right personal fit is crucial. 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and ensure they're a great match.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience. You can see the hourly rate clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a secure and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS background check. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
How can tutoring help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor creates a safe, patient environment where your child can ask questions without fear of judgment. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild your child's self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their schoolwork.
How do I know if tutoring is working?
You'll often see the results first in your child's growing confidence. Tutors provide regular feedback, and you'll be able to see their progress through their improved understanding and, ultimately, their school results. We're proud that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. Some students have a weekly lesson to stay on top of their work, while others might book a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like coding or a musical instrument?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum! While we have fantastic tutors for Maths, English, and Science, you can also find experts to teach your child skills like coding, playing the guitar, learning a new language, and much more.
