Creative English tutor
IntroductionHello. I’m George, and my aim as a tutor is to help students develop an understanding that lasts through their schoolwork, homework, and exams. I work toward this goal with patience, teaching in a relaxed way and challenging students as their confidence in a topic grows. Approach to lessonsDuring the first lesson, I often ask pupils to attempt some questions independently to gauge their ability. After this, we will work together on the difficult portions of the work, and I may use drawings, real-life situations and metaphors to explain specific rules or principles. My goal is to guide s...

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.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Absolutely. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child aim for those crucial grade 5s and 6s in English. They can work on specific areas of the curriculum, build exam technique, and boost the confidence needed to succeed.
We're hoping for a place at a university like Sheffield or Leeds. How can an English tutor help?
A strong GCSE is the first step. A tutor helps secure that foundation, which is essential for taking A-Level English. Strong A-Level grades are highly valued by top universities for a wide variety of degree courses, as they demonstrate critical thinking and communication skills.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson to make sure you find the perfect fit.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter tutors by price to find one that fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on their profiles, so there are no hidden costs.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents, making it feel just like you're in the same room. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
My child really lacks confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. It provides a patient, encouraging environment where your child can learn at their own pace without the pressure of a classroom. Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do.
What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
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, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are the tutors qualified and safe?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked, and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set number. It completely depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for an exam, while others have regular weekly sessions to build their understanding over time. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
That's no problem. We know life can be busy. You can easily reschedule lessons by giving your tutor at least 24 hours' notice. It's all managed through our platform to make things simple for you.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to ask questions or discuss how things are going. Many parents find this open communication really reassuring.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're experts in academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach practical and creative skills like coding, learning the guitar, or even a new language. There's a tutor for almost any interest.
