Lucy C
Experienced English Tutor - KS3, GCSE, A level, University
Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced online tutor and examiner, who has been teaching English Language & Literature and Religious Studies online since 2013. I am a fully qualified teacher with a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education.While I am a passionate tutor of each of those two subjects individually, more importantly I feel that my experience in each subject contributes something to the other. For example, my knowledge of Biblical and Greek mythological references from my study of world religions is often really useful when interpreting certain texts by Shakespeare or other non-contemporary...

I am a semi- retired Primary School teacher. I have worked with all age groups in the Primary setting and have a specialised knowledge in the teaching of reading. To keep up to date with the changes in the curriculum I take on some supply work. Over the years I have been tutoring I have helped many pupils reach there full potential.

Gearoid C
Gearoid supported my son with GCSE English during a key transition period in Year 11. My son had moved schools and was adjusting to a different GCSE specification, which had left noticeable gaps in his knowledge. Gearoid helped him bridge those gaps methodically and clarified the expectations of the exam board.
From the very first session, there was a shift in confidence. My son came out saying, “So I’m not stupid.” Over time, that developed into him saying he “felt clever.” For a student who can struggle with processing speed and exam anxiety, this was a significant and meaningful change.
Gearoid is calm, professional and thoughtful in his approach. He communicates clearly, is reliable, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. I am grateful for the role he played in rebuilding both understanding and belief.

Flora is the best teacher that has ever taught my daughters. They even said they wish their English teacher at school were like Flora — which I think says everything. 😊 She is so patient, encouraging, and creates a positive atmosphere. It makes a real difference, and we truly appreciate her work.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a grammar school in Birmingham or Walsall. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English exam?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They have extensive experience with the specific requirements of the entrance exams in the West Midlands, focusing on key areas like comprehension, vocabulary, and creative writing to help your child feel confident and prepared.
We're hoping for a Russell Group university like Warwick or Birmingham. How can an English tutor support this goal?
A strong English A-Level is often a key requirement for top universities. Our tutors can provide in-depth support, helping your child master complex texts, develop sophisticated essay-writing skills, and achieve the high grades needed to make their application stand out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat so you can get to know them and discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson. It’s all about finding a great personality match.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. With 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 do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and carry out background checks. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind that your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This transparency allows you to find an expert tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden costs.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. As they start to understand difficult topics and see their skills improve, their self-belief naturally grows. This newfound confidence often benefits them in other subjects too.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work together just as they would in person.
Can my child get help with specific texts, like their GCSE novels or plays?
Yes, absolutely. Tutors can tailor lessons to the specific books, poems, or plays your child is studying for their GCSE or A-Level exams. They can help with everything from understanding key themes to analysing quotes and structuring essays.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed for real progress. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. Consistent lessons focused on your child's specific needs are the key to building skills and confidence.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language.
How do I pay for lessons?
Paying for lessons is easy and secure. Once a lesson is complete, payment is made automatically through our platform using your saved card details. You can review all your lessons and payments from your dashboard at any time.
