Holly E
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.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study A-Levels at Strode College. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. This is a very common goal for parents we support in and around Wells. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the GCSE English grades needed for competitive sixth forms and colleges like Strode. They can focus specifically on the skills required to move up a grade boundary, whether that's in essay writing, textual analysis, or exam technique.
We're aiming for a top university like Bristol or Bath. Can a tutor help with the skills needed for that?
Yes. The analytical and critical thinking skills developed for GCSE and A-Level English are fundamental for university applications and study. A tutor can help your child learn how to articulate complex ideas and build compelling arguments in their writing – skills that are highly valued by leading universities like Bristol and Bath.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from thousands of other parents. Many tutors have specific experience with exam boards like AQA or Edexcel. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to ensure you find the perfect match.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for success. If for any reason you and your child feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match, just let us know. 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 can I be sure the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked with an enhanced DBS check and must provide professional or academic references. We interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and examples, and a document uploader. Your child can access it from any device, making learning convenient and effective.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed on their profiles. Prices typically start from £20 per hour and vary based on the tutor's experience and level of study. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor creates a supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. This personal encouragement often leads to a newfound confidence that helps them in all of their subjects, not just English.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
It varies for each child, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of students who have regular lessons with us improve by at least one grade.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson per week is ideal for steady progress. However, you can arrange lessons as frequently as you need. You might want to increase the frequency in the run-up to exams or for specific projects. It's completely flexible and you can discuss it with your tutor.
What happens if we need to cancel a lesson?
We understand that life can be unpredictable. You can cancel or reschedule a lesson for free, as long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice. You can manage all of your bookings easily through your Tutorful account.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we have experts in over 300 academic subjects, we also offer tutoring in a wide range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak a new language to coding in Python, we can help your child explore their passions beyond the curriculum.
