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.

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.

asked questions

My child attends Trinity Academy. Can a tutor help them get the grades needed for New College Doncaster?
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.
