Sophie C
Experienced English English Literature and Language tutor.
Hello! My name is Sophie and I graduated from Durham University in English Literature in June 2024. I decided to study English Literature at university because I've always loved reading books and discussing them at length. Reading and analysing books gives us a better understanding of the world we operate within, human psychology, and the past. Outside of English, I love to draw, knit, and embroider. I also come from a big family, so I love spending time with them when we are together. I grew up internationally and lived in several countries before finally moving back to the UK.I also write my...

Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Matthew B
Matthew has been teaching my son since September and he absolutely enjoys the lessons. He explains writing in a way my son can understand, and we’ve already seen a boost in his confidence.
Really friendly, patient, and supportive — we’re very happy with the progress so far. Highly recommend!

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's goals before booking. This helps you find someone your child will connect with.
How much does an online English tutor cost in Taunton?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Absolutely. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS certificate. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
My child is studying at Richard Huish College. Can a tutor support their A-Level English work?
Yes, many of our tutors are A-Level specialists and have experience helping students with the specific demands of the curriculum. You can find tutors who are experts in the exam boards and texts your child is studying to provide targeted, effective support.
We're considering Taunton School. Can a tutor help prepare my child for the entrance exams?
Yes. We have tutors who specialise in school entrance exams, including the 11+ and 13+. They can help your child build confidence and master the specific English and verbal reasoning skills needed for these assessments.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Tutors can break down difficult topics and celebrate small wins, helping your child see their own progress and feel more capable.
What happens if we don't click with the 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 first 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 long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which we find works best for maintaining focus and making progress. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to find what works best for your child.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You can cancel or reschedule a lesson with your tutor, but please be sure to give them at least 24 hours' notice to avoid being charged.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts for core subjects from primary school to degree level, we also have tutors for a wide range of skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, master coding, or improve their creative writing, we can help.
How quickly can my child start their first lesson?
You can get started very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to check their availability, and you can book your first session straight away.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
If things aren’t right with your first lesson just let us know. We’ll pay for
your next lesson with a new tutor – and even help you find them.
