Personalised English Support That Builds Real Confidence

The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a real connection with your child. They'll take the time to understand how your child learns best, whether they struggle with creative writing or find poetry daunting. We carefully select our tutors—accepting only 1 in 8 who apply—and ensure they are all background-checked, so you can feel confident your child is in safe hands. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's specific goals. If they need to focus on hitting the top mark bands for their GCSE essays or get to grips with Shakespearean language, their tutor will create sessions that target those exact areas. It’s this focused attention that helps 90% of our students improve by at least one grade—and for GCSEs, that can mean an improvement of up to two grades. Arranging support for your child shouldn't add to your stress. With our online platform, you can find the perfect English tutor and schedule lessons at times that suit your family, all from the comfort of your home in Yeadon. It’s simple, secure, and designed to fit around your busy life.

Experienced English tutor
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 hopes to go to Prince Henry's or St. Mary's. Can a tutor help them prepare?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the academic standards required for sought-after schools. They can focus on strengthening the core English skills your child needs to feel prepared and start secondary school with confidence.

We're aiming for a Russell Group university like Leeds. How can an English tutor help with this?

A strong GCSE and A-Level in English is often a key requirement for top universities. A tutor can help your child develop the critical thinking and analytical essay-writing skills that admissions tutors at universities like Leeds look for, building a strong foundation for their UCAS application and beyond.

How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?

You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend sending messages to a few tutors to find someone your child will get on well with. Finding the right personality fit is just as important as their expertise.

What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?

We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How much does online English tuition cost?

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of demand, but you can easily filter tutors by price to find one that fits your budget. There are no hidden fees, and you simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.

How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?

One-to-one tuition provides a safe space for your child to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in a busy classroom. Tutors can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and adapt their teaching style to your child's needs, which is a fantastic way to boost their self-esteem.

Are all the tutors background-checked?

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an ID check and has a valid DBS certificate. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.

How do the online lessons actually work?

Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, allowing your child and their tutor to focus on learning.

How often should my child have lessons?

Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works well, but it's completely flexible. You can discuss what's best for your child with your tutor based on their goals, whether it's ongoing weekly support or a few intensive sessions before an exam.

How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?

You can find and book a tutor very quickly – often on the same day! Many of our tutors can start within 24 hours, so you can get the support your child needs right away.

Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?

We offer a huge range of subjects! Alongside core curriculum support for subjects like English and Maths, you can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to public speaking and university admissions prep.

Why should I choose Tutorful?

We're trusted by thousands of parents, with a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. Our mission is to provide high-quality, personalised, and safe tuition that helps your child build confidence and achieve their goals.
