Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We live in Torpoint and are aiming for a Plymouth grammar school. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in 11+ preparation and are experienced in the specific requirements for competitive grammar schools. They can work with your child on key areas like verbal reasoning, creative writing, and advanced comprehension to build their skills and confidence ahead of the exam.
My child hopes to study at the University of Plymouth or Exeter. How can an English tutor help?
A strong English GCSE or A-Level is often a key requirement for top universities. Our tutors can provide focused support to help your child secure the best possible grades. For GCSE students, this can mean an improvement of up to two grades, strengthening their university application significantly.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a short introductory chat so you can get to know them and discuss your child's specific needs before booking a lesson.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. With 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 online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we are very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply. You can be confident that your child is learning in a safe and professional environment.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one lessons create a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor's patient guidance and positive feedback on their work can do wonders for their self-esteem, helping them feel more capable and engaged in their studies.
Can we get help with specific texts, like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Definitely. Tutors can provide targeted support for any set text your child is studying for their GCSEs or A-Levels. They can help them understand key themes, analyse characters, and structure high-scoring essays.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and has everything your child needs for an effective lesson. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for solving problems together, and a way to share documents. All they need is a computer and an internet connection.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to suit your child's needs.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we offer fantastic support for core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills! Your child can learn anything from a new language to coding, playing the guitar, or even music production.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can find and book a tutor very quickly. Our platform makes it easy to search for available tutors, send them a message, and schedule your first lesson. Many parents find a great match and have their first session booked within 24 hours.
