David J
Experienced English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is hoping to get into Wakefield College or Pontefract New College. Can a tutor help with the specific English grades they need?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades needed for competitive post-16 courses. They can focus on the key areas of the GCSE English curriculum to build your child's skills and confidence, helping them secure the results they need for their first-choice college.

We're aiming for a competitive university like Leeds, York, or Durham. How can an English tutor help my child stand out?

A great English tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and communication skills that top universities look for. This goes beyond just passing exams; it involves learning how to build a compelling argument and write with clarity, which is invaluable for A-Levels, personal statements, and future degree-level work.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat before you book, so you and your child can get a feel for their teaching style and ensure they're a good match.

How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?

Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has the time and space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors can break down difficult topics into manageable steps, celebrate small wins, and build your child's self-belief along with their skills.

Are your tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors have been interviewed and have had their ID and background checked. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.

How much does online English tutoring cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.

How do the online lessons work?

Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. It's simple, secure, and effective.

How often should my child have lessons?

Most families find that one session a week is ideal for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You might want more sessions in the run-up to an exam or fewer during school holidays. You can discuss what's best with your chosen tutor.

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 your child finds easy or difficult in English, discuss their goals, and start working on a topic together. It’s a great way to build rapport and create a plan for future sessions.

How long is a typical tutoring session?

The standard lesson length is one hour, which gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor if you feel it would be more beneficial.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different?

While we are experts in core academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! Your child could learn anything from coding and a new language to playing the guitar or chess.
