Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive Russell Group university. Can a tutor help with the specific essay skills needed?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are graduates from top universities themselves and have extensive experience helping students develop the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills that admissions tutors look for. They can work with your child on everything from critical thinking to structuring complex arguments, giving them a real advantage.
With the high standards of schools near Wallingford, we're worried about the step-up to A-Level English. Can a tutor help with this transition?
Yes, this is a very common reason parents seek support. A tutor can bridge the gap between GCSE and A-Level, introducing your child to the more advanced critical theories and independent analysis required. They can build a solid foundation, ensuring your child starts their A-Level course feeling prepared and confident.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, simply 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 tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs, like preparing for their GCSEs or building confidence with poetry analysis. It’s all about finding someone your child will connect with.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can easily find someone who fits your budget. You'll see the price clearly displayed on each tutor's profile with no hidden costs.
My child is worried about their GCSE English grade. How much can a tutor help?
We know how important GCSEs are. Our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade, and we've seen tutoring help students improve their final GCSE results by up to two grades. A tutor provides focused, one-to-one support on the exact topics your child finds tricky, which makes a huge difference.
Can tutoring really help my child's confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits we see. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy to ask in class. A great tutor celebrates small wins and helps them see their own progress, which can transform how they feel about a subject.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's easy to use and means your child can learn from the comfort of home, at a time that suits your family.
How do you make sure tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview every tutor to assess their expertise and teaching style. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from a pool of high-quality, trusted professionals.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find a weekly one-hour session works best for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want more frequent lessons in the run-up to exams or less frequent top-up sessions. You can discuss the best plan with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like English?
While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor on our platform.
Is Tutorful effective? What do other parents say?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students achieve their goals. Parents and students have left us over 4,100 reviews, giving us an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars. It's wonderful to see the positive impact our tutors have.
