Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends Anthony Gell School. Can a tutor help them compete for places at top sixth forms?
Absolutely. Many parents share this goal. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child master the GCSE English curriculum, build their confidence, and achieve the high grades often required for entry into competitive sixth forms and A-Level programmes.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Nottingham or Sheffield. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes. While tutors focus on the current curriculum, they also build foundational skills in critical thinking and essay writing that are essential for university applications and study. A strong grade in English is a key requirement, and a tutor can help your child secure it.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send messages to tutors before booking. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, who has specific experience in the areas your child needs help with, like GCSE exam preparation.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we verify their ID and qualifications. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but typically range from £25-£45 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons parents seek a tutor. The one-to-one attention in a supportive environment helps students feel comfortable asking questions they might not in class. Rebuilding that confidence is often the first step to seeing their grades improve.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Are the lessons aligned with the GCSE curriculum?
Yes. Our tutors are experienced with the main UK exam boards (like AQA and Edexcel) and will tailor lessons to the specific requirements of your child's GCSE English Language and Literature courses.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at a different pace, but consistency is key. Many parents notice a boost in their child's confidence within a few sessions, and academic improvement often follows. We find that 90% of students improve by at least one grade.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life happens! Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You can discuss any changes with your tutor directly. Most tutors are flexible, provided you give them enough notice as per their cancellation policy.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. From learning to code in Python or play the guitar, to studying a new language, you can find expert tutors for hundreds of skills and hobbies on Tutorful.
