Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

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.
