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
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for competitive universities like Durham or Newcastle?
Absolutely. Our tutors specialise in helping students build the deep subject knowledge and exam technique required for top grades. They can focus on the specific skills and confidence your child needs to aim for A-Levels and a place at a Russell Group university.
My child wants to go to Newcastle Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary English GCSE grade?
Yes. A strong GCSE in English is often a key requirement for popular A-Level courses. A tutor can provide targeted support on your child's set texts, exam board requirements, and coursework to help them secure the grade they need for their first-choice college.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can view detailed tutor profiles which include their experience, qualifications, and an introductory video. Reading reviews from other parents is also a great way to get a feel for their teaching style. You can even message them for free before booking to ensure they're a good fit.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have a 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 can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
One-to-one lessons create a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. By working at their own pace and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them overcome learning blocks and start to see English as a subject they can succeed in.
How much does an online English tutor in Tyne and Wear cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, a shared whiteboard for working through problems together, and a way to share documents. It’s a simple, effective, and convenient way to learn from home.
My child is struggling with a specific text, like 'An Inspector Calls'. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. The beauty of one-to-one tutoring is that lessons are completely tailored to your child's needs. The tutor can dedicate entire sessions to character analysis, key themes, or quote revision for any specific book, poem, or play on their curriculum.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can also find tutors to help your child learn a musical instrument like the guitar, a new language, or even skills like coding.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which 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 – it’s completely flexible.
How do I pay for lessons?
Paying is simple and secure. After each lesson is complete, your payment is processed automatically through the platform using your saved card details. You'll never need to handle cash and can easily track all your payments online.
