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 attends The Gateway Academy. Can a tutor help them specifically with their GCSE English curriculum?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced with the main UK exam boards, like AQA and Edexcel. They can tailor lessons to match the specific texts, poetry, and exam requirements your child is working on at The Gateway Academy, giving them targeted support where it's needed most.
We're hoping for a place at Palmer's College. Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grade they need?
Yes, that's a very common goal for families we help. Many local colleges look for at least a Grade 4 or 5 in GCSE English. Our tutors specialise in helping students secure these crucial grades by focusing on exam technique and building understanding. We can even help students improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience on their profile. You can also send messages to tutors before booking to ask about their approach and ensure they're a good match for your child's personality and learning needs.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your 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.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a background check. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts, so you can find quality support that fits your budget.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. As they start to grasp tricky concepts and see their skills improve, their self-belief grows naturally.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for drawing and sharing notes, and a space to upload documents like essays or past papers. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
Can a tutor help with specific texts, like 'Macbeth' or poetry?
Definitely. Many of our English tutors are specialists in the set texts for GCSEs. They can help your child break down complex themes, analyse key quotes, and understand the context of texts like 'Macbeth' or the poetry anthology, making them much less intimidating.
How many lessons will my child need to see an improvement?
This is different for every child. Some students need a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others benefit from weekly support throughout the school year. You can discuss your child's goals with your chosen tutor, who can recommend a plan that works for them.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have experts who can teach practical and creative skills. You can find tutors for everything from coding and learning a musical instrument to public speaking.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
We understand that life happens! You can easily manage your schedule through the platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice if you need to make a change to a booked lesson.
