Jessica C
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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at a competitive school in West Norwood. Can a tutor help them get the top English grades needed for a good sixth form?
Absolutely. Many parents share your concern. Our tutors specialise in helping students move beyond a standard pass to achieve the higher grades needed for competitive sixth form entry. For GCSE, we can help improve your child's results by up to two grades, focusing on the specific skills needed to stand out.
My child hopes to study at a leading London university. How can an English tutor support this long-term goal?
That's a great ambition. An English tutor can build the foundational skills needed for university-level study. They'll work on advanced critical thinking, essay writing, and analytical skills that are essential for UCAS applications and will give your child a head start on their degree.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect match. Think about your child's personality and learning style – a great tutor is someone they can build a real rapport with.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor to suit your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden surprises.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We are very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can join Tutorful, so you can have complete peace of mind.
My child has lost confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. So often, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to progress. Our tutors provide a patient and encouraging environment where your child can learn at their own pace and ask questions without fear of judgement. Rebuilding that self-belief is one of the most important things we do.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
What if we don't get on with our first choice of tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, 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.
Can we get help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, most of our English tutors are experienced in teaching both the Language and Literature GCSE and A-Level curricula. You can see their specific areas of expertise on their profiles and discuss your child's needs with them before booking.
How quickly can we expect to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored, one-to-one approach is designed to get results. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or even learn a new language, we can help.
What happens in a typical one-hour English lesson?
A great lesson is always tailored to your child. It might start with a quick review of the previous week's topic, then move onto a new area your child is struggling with, such as analysing a poem or planning an essay. The tutor will use the interactive whiteboard to work through examples, ensuring your child understands before moving on.
