Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends Winterbourne Academy. Can a tutor help them aim for the top grades needed for post-16 options in Bristol?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in helping students move from good grades to great ones. They can focus on the specific skills needed to target grades 7, 8, and 9, giving your child the best possible chance of securing a place on their chosen A-Level course.
Can a tutor help with preparing for applications to competitive universities like the University of Bristol or UWE?
Yes. A strong English tutor can be invaluable here. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and communication skills that admissions tutors look for, and many can also provide support with personal statement writing, which is a critical part of the UCAS application process.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Look for someone with experience in the right area, whether that's GCSE exam technique or building creative writing skills. The most important thing is finding someone your child connects with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is for your child's 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?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter your search to find someone who fits your family's budget. Tutors set their own rates, giving you a wide range of options to choose from.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in class?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in a big classroom. As they master topics and see their understanding grow, their self-belief often improves dramatically, which has a positive impact on their classroom participation.
What happens in a typical one-to-one English lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child's needs. A session might involve working through a tricky piece of homework, practising exam questions, analysing a poem from their GCSE anthology, or planning an essay together on the interactive whiteboard. The tutor will focus on whatever will help your child make the most progress.
How quickly will we see an improvement in our child's English grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the personalised attention of one-to-one tutoring means progress can be seen quickly. Our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade, and consistent sessions are the key to building momentum and achieving great results.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
It's for both! While we have thousands of expert academic tutors for subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have talented tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills, from learning an instrument like the guitar to coding in Python or even public speaking.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and working on problems together, and a facility for sharing documents. It’s a brilliant way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
My child finds analysing Shakespeare really difficult. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. This is a very common challenge. A great English tutor can bring texts like 'Macbeth' or 'Romeo and Juliet' to life, breaking down the complex language and helping your child understand the key themes and characters in a way that makes sense to them.
