Aileen L
enthusiastic and encouraging English tutor
As an English tutor I have tutored all ages, but I specifically tutor A Level Literature where I have a wide knowledge of the curriculum - I have tutored students across all the examination boards. I am a happy and enthusiastic mature person, who believes strongly in education and the confidence and opportunities that can be gained. My first aim is to encourage and praise pupils in their work - I believe enjoyment of the subject is the key to doing well. I personally enjoy the discussions, the debates. the sparks that come with a broader knowledge of the subject. And that "light bulb" moment that...

Enthusiastic English Tutor
Hello! I’m Simon. I’m an enthusiastic and easy-going English tutor based in Edinburgh with over seven years’ experience helping students at all levels of the Scottish curriculum to achieve their learning goals. I would love to use my passion for literature and the English language to help you in any area of your coursework, from getting to grips with the reading material and writing essays to organising your portfolio and preparing for the exam period.I think it’s much easier to study something if you can find a way to relate it to your own experiences. With this in mind, I’d be keen to get to...

Tara C
Effective English tutor
I am an effective and efficient tutor. By keeping a close eye on each student’s development, I ensure that each lesson has a specific objective and contributes towards their overall progress. I am organised and am always prepared, bringing clear lesson plans and homework to each session. Furthermore, I am able to tailor these to the needs of pupils and their parents and always design lessons in accordance with their specific needs; this adaptability is a skill I have practiced while working as a tutor over the past few months. Following an initial discussion about strengths and weaknesses and p...

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.

Nikolaus T
Lovely tutor, very helpful and concise with the additional support, as well as making sure I was confident on the topics we discussed. Very interactive and informative with making sure my thesis and essay writing structure was at a highest level it could be, gave me a really good insight into top band essay skills that I will be using from now on!!

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 M
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 hopes to study at Newcastle or Lancaster University. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students develop the high-level analytical and writing skills needed for strong A-Level performance and compelling UCAS applications, giving them the best possible chance of securing a place at their preferred university.
The focus is on GCSEs at The Nelson Thomlinson School. Can tutors align with their specific curriculum?
Definitely. Our tutors can tailor lessons to the specific texts, exam boards (like AQA or Edexcel), and assessment objectives your child is studying at school. This ensures the support is directly relevant and helps them feel more prepared for their actual exams.
How can a tutor help my child move from a grade 4 to a 6 or higher in English?
Our tutors specialise in identifying the specific areas holding a student back. By focusing on exam technique, improving essay structure, or deepening their understanding of key texts, a tutor provides targeted support that can make a significant difference to their final grade.
How do I find the right English tutor for my child in Wigton?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience, such as GCSE English Language or Literature. You can read their profiles, watch their intro videos, and check reviews from other parents. You can also send them a message first to make sure they're a good fit before booking.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have a 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.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are identity and background-checked. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn one-to-one with their tutor from home.
My child lacks confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors provide constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which helps to build self-belief and a more positive attitude towards the subject.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but typically range from £25 to £45 per hour. All pricing is clearly shown on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.
What results can I expect from tutoring?
We have a strong track record of success, with 90% of students improving by at least one grade. You can join a community of over 200,000 happy students who have used Tutorful to achieve their goals. Our platform has a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 customer reviews.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session per week is ideal for making steady progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child's needs and your family's routine directly with your tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have experts in core subjects like English and Maths, we also have tutors for a huge range of skills, from learning the guitar and coding to speaking a new language. It's all about helping your child discover their passions.
Have a great first lesson.
Guaranteed.
