David J
Experienced English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study at the University of Leeds. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students with their UCAS applications, including crafting compelling personal statements. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and communication skills that top universities like Leeds look for.
We live in Kirklees. Can a tutor help prepare my child for the 11+ or grammar school entrance exams?
Yes. We have tutors who specialise in 11+ preparation, focusing on the specific English and verbal reasoning skills required for grammar school entrance exams common in areas like Kirklees and Calderdale. You can filter for tutors with this specific experience.
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 other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding the right personality match is key.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and verify their ID. All our tutors must have a valid DBS check or equivalent background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. That's why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can filter by price to find a great tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden fees.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. This allows your child and their tutor to work through texts, practice essay plans, and analyse examples together in real-time.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors can break down complex topics, fill in any gaps, and celebrate small wins, which all helps to build their self-belief.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have experts for all school subjects, we also offer tutoring for a wide range of other skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor for them here.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works best. This provides consistency and allows the tutor to build momentum with your child. However, the schedule is completely flexible and you can arrange sessions with your tutor as often as you need.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the personalised focus of one-to-one tutoring often leads to progress quite quickly. Many parents tell us they notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within the first few sessions.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about what they enjoy, what they find tricky in English, and what their goals are. This helps the tutor understand their learning style and plan future lessons effectively.
