Megan G
Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

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.

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child hopes to join Uckfield College's sixth form. Can a tutor help them get the English GCSE grade they need?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in GCSE preparation and understand the importance of securing high grades for competitive sixth forms. They can work with your child to target specific areas for improvement, build exam technique, and boost their confidence to help them achieve the results they're aiming for.
We're looking ahead to universities like Sussex or Brighton. How can tutoring help with that?
A strong academic record is key for top university applications. Our English tutors can help your child develop the advanced analytical and writing skills that are highly valued in higher education. This not only helps with their A-Levels but also prepares them for the demands of degree-level study, strengthening their future applications.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view detailed tutor profiles, which include their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. We recommend watching their introductory videos to get a feel for their teaching style and messaging a few to find the perfect match for your child's personality and learning needs.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. It's important to us that your child feels comfortable and supported.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find an option that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our highest priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity and background check, before they can start teaching. We are committed to creating a safe and secure learning environment.
How can an English tutor help my child build confidence?
Sometimes, all a child needs is a bit of one-to-one attention. In a supportive environment, they feel more comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. A tutor can celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics, helping your child see their own progress and building their self-belief.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a stable internet connection, a microphone, and a webcam.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Your child could learn a new language, master a musical instrument like the guitar, or even get help with practical skills like coding.
What qualifications do your English tutors have?
Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds, including qualified teachers, university lecturers, and subject matter experts with degrees in English. You can see each tutor's specific qualifications and experience listed on their profile to help you make an informed choice.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. We encourage open communication between parents and tutors. You can message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress, and tutors will often provide feedback after each session on what was covered and what the next steps are.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our experience shows that consistent, personalised support makes a real difference. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
