Fun and proactive English tutor
I have been a tutor for well over a year and have helped over 5 students improve their grades both in GCSEs and A Levels, and have also tutored kids in primary school to prepare for the 11+. I predominantly focus on improving exam technique as this is often disregarded in schools, and yet it is central to gaining good grades in exams. I mainly use past papers in my lessons, to ensure that what we’re doing is absolutely relevant to you. I also use exam board specific marking criteria/ mark schemes alongside the past papers because these are what you examiners will use to mark your exams, so having a...

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Chapel-en-le-Frith High School. Can a tutor help them aim for top grades for sixth form?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students make the leap from a predicted pass to securing the top grades (7-9) needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on exam technique, essay writing, and building a deep understanding of the curriculum to help your child's application stand out.
We're hoping for a place at a sixth form in Buxton or Stockport. Can a tutor provide that extra edge?
Yes, they can. A tutor provides personalised attention that's hard to get in a busy classroom. They can work with your child to build on their strengths and target any areas of weakness, giving them the skills and confidence to perform at their best in their GCSEs and secure a place on their desired A-Level courses.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. Many parents find it helpful to send a message to a few tutors to discuss their child's specific goals before booking a lesson. Finding the right personality match is just as important as their expertise.
What happens if we don't click with the first 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 first tutor for any reason, just 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?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an experienced tutor that fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which includes 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.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are ID and background checked before they can join the platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of being judged by their peers. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them see their own progress, which is a huge confidence booster.
What results can we expect from tutoring?
While every child is different, we're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSE students, our tailored support has helped many improve their final results by up to two grades, making a real difference to their future options.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard session length is one hour, which most families find works perfectly. However, you can discuss arranging longer or shorter sessions directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs and schedule.
Can my child get help with other subjects too?
Of course. We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from Maths and Science to History and French. You can easily find support for all of your child's academic needs on the platform.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
It's for both! We believe in learning for life. Alongside core academic subjects, you can find brilliant tutors who teach practical and creative skills like coding, playing the guitar, learning a new language for fun, and much more.
