Great tutor for my son, he is set weekly tasks and enjoys the sessions!

Lee N
Lee has been a great tutor for our 15-year-old son, Leo. He’s really helped him with structuring his essays and breaking things down in a way that makes it much easier for Leo to understand and apply in his school work.
What’s made the biggest difference though is Lee himself. He has a really great personality and a relaxed way of teaching that puts Leo at ease straight away. Leo feels comfortable being himself in the sessions, which means he’s much more open to asking questions and having a go.
Since starting with Lee, Leo’s confidence with English has grown a lot and he’s actually started enjoying the subject again. The support and encouragement Lee gives has been really valuable for him in preparation for his GCSE's.

Flora I
Flora is patient and takes the time to ensure my child understands concepts properly before moving on. She always comes well prepared, communicates effectively with my son, and explains things clearly. She also takes time to prepare homework assignments and resource materials to reinforce learning.
She’s easy to reach and is happy to chat with parents about progress and the ways we can support learning at home. My son enjoys her teaching and is happy to add one more lesson a week with Flora. I’d gladly recommend her to others looking for a solid tutor.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Sir George Monoux College. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors are experienced in helping students secure the strong GCSE grades required for competitive local colleges. They can focus on the specific skills and exam techniques your child needs to strengthen their application and feel confident in their abilities.
We live in Walthamstow but are considering grammar schools in Redbridge. Do you have tutors experienced with 11+ English?
Yes, we do. You can filter your search for tutors who specialise in 11+ and entrance exams. They are brilliant at helping children build the core English skills and confidence needed to tackle these assessments, taking the pressure off you and your child.
How do I find the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple. You can use our search filters to find tutors based on experience, price, and availability. We recommend reading their profiles, checking their qualifications, and looking at reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors beforehand to make sure they're a good fit for your child's personality and learning style.
How can an English tutor help my child build confidence for their GCSEs?
Confidence often comes from understanding. A tutor provides a safe, one-to-one space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics like poetry analysis or essay writing into manageable steps, tutors help your child experience small wins that build into a real belief in their own abilities.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or complicated contracts. You simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first English tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How does online tutoring work?
It's just like face-to-face tutoring, but more convenient! Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Definitely. Most of our English tutors are experts in both and can tailor lessons to cover whatever your child needs most, whether it's creative writing for Language Paper 1 or analysing characters for Literature.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or playing the guitar?
We believe in learning for life! While we have thousands of academic tutors, we also have experts who can teach hobbies and professional skills, from learning a new language or playing an instrument to coding in Python.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard session length is one hour, which most students find is the perfect amount of time to focus on a topic without getting tired. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can start very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Once you find a tutor you like, you can message them directly to arrange your first session at a time that suits your family.
