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.

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to go to Peter Symonds or Brockenhurst. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students meet the entry requirements for competitive colleges. They can focus on the specific GCSE grades and skills your child needs to secure their place and feel confident about their next steps.
We live near Southampton. Can a tutor help with the long-term goal of getting into a good university?
Definitely. A strong English GCSE is a vital stepping stone for university applications, including for competitive institutions like the University of Southampton. Our tutors help build the foundational analytical and writing skills that students will rely on throughout their A-Levels and into their degree courses.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
On our platform, you can filter tutors by subject and level, read reviews from other parents, and watch their short introduction videos. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to ensure you find the perfect match.
What if my child doesn't click 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.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on a tutor's experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents, making it feel just like you're in the same room. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at their own pace and celebrating small wins, they can start to feel much more positive about their abilities in English.
Are your tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is usually a chance for the tutor to get to know your child. They'll chat about what they enjoy, what they find tricky in English, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed session focused on building a plan together.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor if needed.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families find that a regular weekly lesson works best, especially in the run-up to exams. This consistency helps build momentum and keeps learning on track. You can discuss what's right for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
