Hi! I’m Hannah - unabashed nerd, writing enthusiast and, perhaps most importantly, English teacher. I’ve taught in secondary schools for the last three years, largely teaching the AQA English Language and Literature syllabuses to GCSE, although I do have experience of tutoring other syllabuses as well, including OCR and Edexcel.

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
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and check reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat so you and your child can meet them first to make sure their teaching style is a good match.
How much does an online English tutor in Yarm cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
My child attends Yarm School. Can we find a tutor experienced with the independent school curriculum?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience supporting students in the independent sector. You can check their profiles for this experience or message them directly to ask about their familiarity with the Yarm School curriculum and expectations.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every UK-based tutor is interviewed, and we carry out thorough background checks, including an Enhanced DBS check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship 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 do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
We're considering Conyers Sixth Form. Can a tutor help my child with the transition from GCSE to A-Level English?
Yes, our tutors are brilliant at supporting students through that big step up. They can help bridge the gap between GCSE and A-Level, working on the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed for success at sixth form.
Can tutoring really help my child's confidence, not just their grades?
Definitely. One-to-one support in a friendly, encouraging environment can do wonders for a child's self-esteem. When a topic finally 'clicks' with the help of their tutor, it gives them the confidence to speak up in class and tackle new challenges.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something different like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with Python, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which most parents find works perfectly. However, you can discuss your child's needs with your tutor, and they may be able to offer shorter or longer sessions if that would be more helpful.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson through our platform. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, but you can find their specific cancellation policy on their profile.
How quickly can we get started with a tutor?
You can get started very quickly. Once you find a tutor you like, you can send them a message to arrange your first lesson. Many tutors can start within a few days, helping your child get the support they need right away.
