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 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.

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
My child wants to go to a sixth form like Harris Academy Chafford Hundred. Can a tutor help them get the required GCSE English grades?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents in Thurrock come to us. Our tutors are experienced in the GCSE English curriculum and can provide targeted support to help your child secure the grades they need for their first-choice sixth form. They can focus on everything from essay writing and analysing 'Macbeth' to exam technique, helping to boost their results by up to two grades.
We're aiming for a grammar school in Southend or Chelmsford. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Yes, many of our tutors specialise in 11+ and entrance exam preparation. They understand the format of the exams for the local grammar schools and can work with your child on key areas like comprehension, creative writing, vocabulary, and verbal reasoning to build their skills and confidence ahead of the test.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their 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 tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Each tutor sets their own hourly rate, which is clearly displayed on their profile. This transparency allows you to find a brilliant, trusted tutor who fits your budget.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
Confidence is often the biggest barrier to progress. In a one-to-one lesson, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Our tutors are experts at celebrating small wins and breaking down difficult topics into manageable steps, which helps build self-esteem along with subject knowledge.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and must pass a background check before they can teach on our platform. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, a shared whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents, so your child and their tutor can work together in real-time, just as they would in person.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have tutors for all academic subjects from Primary to University level, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get help with coding, or even learn a new language. It's all about supporting their passions.
My child finds analysing poetry really difficult. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. Many students find poetry challenging. A tutor can bring poems to life by breaking down complex language and themes in a way that makes sense to your child. They can provide new perspectives and techniques to help your child analyse texts with confidence.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one hour-long lesson per week, but this is completely flexible. You can discuss your child's goals with your chosen tutor to agree on a frequency that works best for your family's schedule and your child's needs.
What results can I really expect?
While every child learns at their own pace, we're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. More importantly, parents tell us they see a huge boost in their child's confidence and a more positive attitude towards learning, which is a success in itself.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
