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!

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.

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.
