Gearoid C
Gearoid supported my son with GCSE English during a key transition period in Year 11. My son had moved schools and was adjusting to a different GCSE specification, which had left noticeable gaps in his knowledge. Gearoid helped him bridge those gaps methodically and clarified the expectations of the exam board.
From the very first session, there was a shift in confidence. My son came out saying, “So I’m not stupid.” Over time, that developed into him saying he “felt clever.” For a student who can struggle with processing speed and exam anxiety, this was a significant and meaningful change.
Gearoid is calm, professional and thoughtful in his approach. He communicates clearly, is reliable, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. I am grateful for the role he played in rebuilding both understanding and belief.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Tooting and are aiming for Graveney School. Can a tutor help with the 11+ Wandsworth Test?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are very familiar with the format and demands of the Wandsworth Test. You can filter for tutors with this specific experience to find the perfect match to help your child build the skills and confidence they need.
My child is worried about the verbal reasoning part of the local school exams. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes. Verbal and non-verbal reasoning are common areas where children need extra support. You can easily find tutors who have proven experience in helping students master these specific skills, using practice papers and targeted techniques to make them feel much more comfortable.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to make sure you find someone you feel comfortable with.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. 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 do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We personally interview each applicant and are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study, but you can easily filter by price to find an expert tutor who fits your budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them overcome learning blocks and start to believe in their own abilities, which is often the biggest step towards success.
How do online lessons 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. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection. It's simple, secure, and effective.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something else?
While we cover all academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of hobbies and skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, master coding in Python, or learn a new language, we can help.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week works best, as it provides consistency without being overwhelming. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child and their tutor, whether that's more frequent lessons before an exam or fortnightly sessions.
How can I track my child's progress?
The best way is through open communication with your tutor. They will be happy to provide regular feedback on how your child is doing, what they've been working on, and the next steps. You'll also see their growing confidence and understanding for yourself.
What kind of results can we expect?
While every child's journey is different, our focus is on building confidence and understanding that leads to real progress. We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we have over 4,100 reviews from happy parents rating us 4.6/5 stars.
