Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

My son had a few English GCSE lessons with Ian now and he’s been great. He explains things clearly, is very patient, and always gives helpful feedback. He even stays a bit longer sometimes to finish the lesson properly. Really appreciate his support!

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.

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 is preparing for the Transfer Test for grammar schools in Newry. Can I find a specialist tutor?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for entrance exams, including the 11+ and the Transfer Test. You can check their profiles for this experience and message them beforehand to discuss your child's specific needs.
We're aiming for a top grade in GCSE English for a Queen's University Belfast application. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. Our tutors are brilliant at helping students aim high for their GCSEs. They can focus on exam technique, essay structure, and understanding the mark scheme to help your child achieve their best. In fact, we can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check tutors' qualifications on their profiles. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will connect with. It's all about finding the right personality match for your family.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Tutors set their own prices based on their experience, and you can see the cost clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
This is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they help rebuild self-esteem and a positive attitude towards learning.
What happens if we don't get on with our first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is 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 are your tutors vetted?
We take your child's safety very seriously. We interview every tutor and they must provide a valid DBS check. We also verify their ID and qualifications. We're proud to be highly selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat and an interactive whiteboard. Tutors can share resources, work on documents together, and tailor the session to your child's specific needs, whether that's practising grammar or planning an essay.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person tutoring?
Yes, and many parents tell us it's even better! Your child gets access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those who live locally. Plus, with interactive tools and the comfort of learning from home, children often feel more focused and engaged.
Does Tutorful only offer academic subjects?
Not at all! While we support core subjects like English, Maths, and Science from primary level through to university, we also have tutors for a huge range of hobbies and skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and guitar to public speaking.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's work?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the one-to-one attention means progress can happen quickly. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions, which is a great foundation for academic improvement.
Do I have to commit to a certain number of lessons?
No, there are no contracts or minimum commitments. You have the flexibility to book lessons as and when your child needs them, whether that's regular weekly support or a few sessions to prepare for a specific test.
