Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic English Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

My child is aiming for Winstanley College. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE English grade?

Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in helping students secure the top GCSE grades (6-9) needed for entry into competitive colleges. They can focus specifically on the curriculum and exam techniques that will give your child the best chance of meeting the entry requirements for their chosen A-Level courses.

How can a tutor help my child feel more confident about the competition for places at local Wigan colleges?

Confidence comes from feeling prepared. A tutor provides a safe space for your child to work on areas they find tricky, without the pressure of the classroom. By mastering difficult topics and seeing their own progress, their self-belief grows, helping them feel ready to take on the challenge of GCSEs and college applications.

How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?

It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and a personality your child will click with.

What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?

We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to success. 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 much does an online English tutor cost?

Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter your search by price to find a brilliant, affordable tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.

How do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?

Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must go through a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and vetted professional.

How do online lessons work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, allowing your child and their tutor to focus on learning, wherever you are.

How often should my child have a tutoring session?

Most families find that one session a week works well, especially in the run-up to exams. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what's best for your child's goals and your family's schedule directly with your chosen tutor.

Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can you help with hobbies like learning guitar or coding?

We believe in learning for life, not just for exams! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English and Maths, you can also find experts to help your child learn a musical instrument, a new language, coding, or even public speaking. It's a great way to support their passions.

Can a tutor help my child if they've lost their motivation for English?

Yes, this is where one-to-one tutoring can really shine. A great tutor can find new ways to make the subject interesting, connecting it to your child's hobbies or future goals. By building a positive relationship and celebrating small wins, they can help reignite your child's enthusiasm for learning.

How effective is online tutoring compared to in-person?

Online tutoring is incredibly effective. It gives you access to the best tutors across the UK, not just those who live locally. With interactive tools and the ability to record sessions for revision, many students find it even more engaging and convenient than traditional tutoring.

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 difficult in English, and what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed session designed to build rapport and create a plan for future lessons.
