Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic English Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

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.

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.

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.
