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
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for Winstanley or Wigan & Leigh College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the strong GCSE English grades—often a 5 or above—required for competitive A-Level courses at respected local colleges. They can focus on the specific skills and exam techniques needed to help your child achieve their goal.
My child hopes to go to a university like Manchester or Liverpool. Can tutoring help?
Yes, a strong foundation at GCSE is the first step. By helping your child secure a great English grade now, a tutor can help keep those doors open for applications to top North West universities in the future. They build not just knowledge, but also the confidence and study skills needed for higher education.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial 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 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 qualifications on their profile. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable learning with.
My child's confidence in English is low. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. In a supportive environment, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed, work at their own pace, and celebrate small wins, which makes a huge difference to their self-belief.
How much can tutoring improve my child's GCSE English grade?
Every child is different, but the focused support of a tutor can have a significant impact. We find that our support can help improve a student's GCSE results by up to 2 grades, turning a potential pass into a grade they can be truly proud of.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices typically start from around £20 per hour and vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has been through a rigorous selection process, including an interview and a background check. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How do the 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. It's a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point, especially in the run-up to exams. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child's goals and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about what they find easy, what they struggle with, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed way to build a plan for future sessions and make sure it's a good fit.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find tutors for modern languages, coding, learning a musical instrument like guitar, and much more.
