Rachel B
Enthusiastic tutor of Food, Nutrition and English.
I have been teaching Food and Nutrition to GCSE standard in secondary schools for over 20 years. This has involved me planning, preparing and delivering both theory and practical lessons for students, always endeavouring to make the subject as fun and engaging as possible. Very often students opt for this subject at GCSE believing it is ' just cooking' but there is so much more to it than that! Particularly in recent times, the amount of food science content in the Food curriculum has really increased, and this can be quite daunting for students to get to grips with. I really enjoy helping them...

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
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grades needed for Bishop Luffa or Chichester College?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades needed for sixth form entry. They can create a tailored plan focusing on the key areas of the GCSE English curriculum, from exam technique and essay writing to understanding specific texts, to give your child the best chance of securing their place.
My child hopes to apply to universities like Sussex or Southampton. How can English tuition help?
Strong analytical and communication skills are vital for applications to competitive universities. An English tutor helps build this foundation. They'll work with your child to develop the critical thinking and writing abilities that will not only boost their GCSE and A-Level performance but also help them write a compelling personal statement.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for learning. That's 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a short introductory chat to discuss your child's needs before you book. Think about what your child needs most – is it confidence with poetry, or help with exam structure? This will help you find the perfect match.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed by our team and must pass a background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the UK's best.
How much does online English tuition cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from anywhere with an internet connection.
Can tutoring help with my child's confidence, not just their grades?
Definitely. For many students, a lack of confidence can be the biggest barrier to learning. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement, which can make a huge difference to their self-belief in the classroom.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible. You can arrange lessons with your tutor at a frequency that works best for your child's goals and your family's schedule.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
A lesson is tailored to your child's specific goals. It might start with reviewing a tricky piece of homework, then move on to practising a specific skill like analysing unseen poetry, and finish by planning an essay for an upcoming assessment. It's all about what your child needs most.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, speak Spanish, or get started with coding, you can find experienced tutors to help them explore their passions.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are simple and secure. You add your payment details to your account, and we process the payment automatically 24 hours after each lesson is complete. You can review all your charges in your account dashboard.
