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 hopes to study at the University of Sheffield. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students with the step up to A-Level and preparing for university. They can help your child refine their personal statement, develop advanced analytical skills, and build the confidence needed to succeed in higher education.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child in Tickhill?
It's easy to find the perfect match on our platform. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check qualifications, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a lesson.
We're worried about the jump to A-Level English at a local sixth form. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is a common concern we can help with. A tutor can work with your child to bridge the gap between GCSE and A-Level, introducing them to the more complex analysis and independent study skills required, ensuring they start their new courses with confidence.
What happens 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 does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and diagrams, and a space to upload documents like essays or past papers. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
My child lacks confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without any fear of being judged by classmates. Tutors are brilliant at breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, which helps build your child's self-belief over time.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE English Literature texts?
Definitely. Our tutors are experts in the curriculum and can provide targeted support for any set text, whether it's understanding character motivations in 'Macbeth' or analysing the themes in the poetry anthology. They can make these texts much more accessible for your child.
My child struggles with exam technique. Can a tutor focus on that?
Yes. A huge part of success in GCSE English is knowing how to approach the exam. Tutors can teach your child how to manage their time effectively, understand what questions are really asking, and structure their answers to earn the maximum number of marks.
How long is a typical lesson and how often should we have them?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually a good amount of time to focus on a topic without losing concentration. Most families opt for one lesson a week, but the frequency is completely flexible and can be arranged directly with your tutor to fit your child's needs.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get help with coding in Python, or even learn a new language.
