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 Coleg y Cymoedd. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very familiar with the entry requirements for local colleges like Coleg y Cymoedd. They can focus specifically on the areas of the WJEC GCSE English curriculum your child needs to master to secure their place.
We're aiming for a competitive course at Cardiff University. Can a tutor provide the right level of support?
Yes. We have many tutors with experience helping students prepare for A-Levels and university applications. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed to stand out and feel confident when applying to competitive universities like Cardiff or the University of South Wales.
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 for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
What experience do your tutors have with the WJEC curriculum?
Many of our English tutors have specific experience teaching the Welsh curriculum, including WJEC. You can check their profile bios for this information or use our filters to find tutors who specialise in the WJEC exam board. You can also message them directly to ask about their experience.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
Every tutor has a detailed profile where you can see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many also have an introductory video to give you a feel for their personality. You can message them before booking to discuss your child's needs and make sure it's a good fit.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Tutor prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. Prices are displayed clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts – you simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.
My child has lost all their confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild that self-belief, which often has a positive impact on their schoolwork too.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS background check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Consistent weekly lessons often lead to noticeable boosts in confidence and understanding within just a few weeks.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Some parents book a few lessons to prepare for a specific exam, while others prefer regular weekly sessions to provide ongoing support throughout the school year. You can discuss this with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! You can find expert tutors for everything from coding and learning a musical instrument like the guitar, to foreign languages and even public speaking. It's a great way to support your child's hobbies and passions.
