Highly experienced English tutor
I have over 30 years' classroom teaching experience and have taught students from 4 to 16 years of age, but mainly in Key Stage 2. As a Y6 teacher, my students' end of year results regularly showed accelerated progress in English, Maths and SPAG. Five years ago, I moved to online teaching, focusing on preparing students for SATs and Common Entrance exams (11+ and 13+) and teaching groups of students on the National Tutoring Programme. I now divide my time between 121 English tutoring in a secondary school and online KS2/3 English and KS2 maths tuition.My English classes are geared towards encouraging...

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...

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

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.

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.
