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

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the Buckinghamshire 11+. Can I find a specialist English tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ entrance exams, including the verbal reasoning and comprehension sections common in the Buckinghamshire tests. You can view their profiles and even message them beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs.
We're aiming for top GCSE English grades (7-9) to secure a good A-Level place. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. A dedicated GCSE English tutor can focus on the exact areas your child needs to improve, whether it's essay structure, poetry analysis, or exam technique. They can help bridge the gap to those top grades, and we've found that one-to-one tutoring can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to two grades.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introduction videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter tutors by experience and price. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have 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 much do online English tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors on our site by price to find an expert who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile with no hidden costs.
How does online tutoring work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted to join Tutorful.
Can an English tutor help my child with their confidence?
Yes. For many children, a lack of confidence can be the biggest barrier to learning. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. This supportive environment is often key to helping their confidence grow.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress and see how they are getting on. You are a key part of the team!
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which most parents and students find works perfectly. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor directly if your child would benefit from a shorter or longer session.
My child has specific learning needs. How can a tutor support them?
One-to-one tutoring is ideal for children with specific learning needs as the tutor can tailor their teaching methods completely. Many tutors have experience working with students with dyslexia, dyspraxia, and ADHD. You can see their experience on their profile or message them to ask.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something like music or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Your child can learn everything from guitar, piano, and singing to practical skills like coding and Python. It's a great way to support their hobbies and develop new talents.
