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

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child attends The Wellington Academy. Can a tutor help them prepare for their English GCSEs?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE English specialists. They can create a tailored plan focusing on the specific curriculum and exam board your child is following, helping them with everything from essay structure to analysing unseen texts. We find this targeted support can improve a child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
We're considering the 11+ for Salisbury's grammar schools. Can you help with that?
Yes, we have many tutors with specific experience in 11+ preparation. They can help your child build the core English and verbal reasoning skills needed, as well as develop their confidence and exam technique. You can filter for tutors with 11+ experience when you search on our platform.
My child has lost confidence in English due to changing schools. How can a tutor help?
This is a very common concern, and it's where one-to-one tutoring can make the biggest difference. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to rebuild their confidence at their own pace. They can go back over topics they might have missed and celebrate small wins, which helps them feel positive about learning again.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free before booking to find the perfect fit. Think about your child's personality and what kind of teaching style would suit them best. The relationship they build with their tutor is key to their success.
Are your tutors qualified and safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our absolute priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and has been through a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from experienced, trusted, and inspiring educators.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that finding the right personality match is essential. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just 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 rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter by price when you search to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All you need is a laptop or tablet with a camera, a microphone, and a good internet connection. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing to make learning engaging and effective.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress and goals. Seeing your child's confidence grow and their school results improve is the best indicator of success.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Most lessons are one hour long. We generally find that a regular weekly session is the most effective way to build momentum and see consistent progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child and your family with your chosen tutor.
What makes Tutorful different from other services?
We focus on finding the perfect match for your child. With thousands of hand-picked tutors and over 4,100 customer reviews giving us an average rating of 4.6 stars, we're a trusted choice for parents across the UK. Our goal is to make learning a positive, life-changing experience.
Is it just for core subjects like English, or can you help with other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core academic subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get ahead with a coding language like Python, or even learn a new language, we can help you find an expert tutor.
