NOW TAKING BOOKINGS for SEPT STARTI’m a vastly experienced tutor with over 7 years experience, specializing in the core subjects (Science & English) for the GCSE years. I’ve gathered a strong reputation for helping an eclectic mix of students across both state and public schools, online and in person, individually and in small groups. I’ve worked with high-achievers, aiding them to secure grades 7-9, through to those who are more academically challenged (including some with SEN or mental health needs). With my guidance, no child has failed an exam and most of them have experienced significant boost...

I have been a teacher of both English Language and Literature for the past 5 years. I am proud to have been a help to a number of students who have gone on to successfully sit for their GCSEs.

I completed my PGCE at the University of Nottingham. However, I did my BA at the University of Malta as that is where I grew up before moving to the...

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.

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

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child wants to study A-Levels at Kendal College. Can a tutor help them secure the right GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE English specialists. They can create a personalised learning plan to target the exact areas your child needs to improve, helping them build the skills and confidence needed to achieve the grades required for their chosen A-Level courses.
We're worried about the step up from The Lakes School to a competitive university like Lancaster. How can a tutor help?
A tutor can be a fantastic partner in bridging that gap. They provide the focused, one-to-one attention that helps deepen your child's understanding beyond the curriculum. This not only builds confidence and improves grades but also develops the independent thinking skills that are so important for success at university.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view tutors' profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child connects with.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial 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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This means you can find an amazing, qualified tutor that fits your family's budget.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check. We also manually vet each application, accepting only 1 in 8 who apply, to ensure your child learns from the very best.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Confidence is at the heart of what we do. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of being judged. Tutors celebrate small wins and help your child see their own progress, which can transform how they feel about a subject and about learning in general.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work together in real-time, just like they would in person.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, definitely. Many of our English tutors are experienced in teaching both parts of the curriculum. You can see their specific areas of expertise on their profiles and discuss your child's individual needs with them directly.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's English results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our experience shows that consistent, weekly lessons can make a significant difference. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The key is the regular, personalised support that helps concepts click into place.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like coding or playing the guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts in core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for music, languages, coding, and professional skills. It's all about helping your child pursue their passions.
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 their goals, what they find tricky in English, and what they enjoy. It's a relaxed session designed to build rapport and create a plan for future lessons.
