What makes a good tutor?
Subject knowledge is a must, but being a good tutor is really about explaining difficult concepts in a way that's clear, engaging and personalised for each student. You can have three degrees in Physics, but that doesn't mean you'll be good at explaining it at GCSE level! Tutors who can empathise with their students and help them build confidence help teens unleash their potential, and we see amazing results in just a few lessons.
Our tutors are from top UK unis, and because they're just a few years older, they can explain things in a way that teens find relatable. We interview all of our tutors, and only the friendliest and most knowledgeable make it on to our platform. We're very picky about it - just 1 in 8 applicants make the cut.

Which tutor is right for you?
Before you look for a tutor, it's helpful to have a really clear idea of exactly where your child needs help - whether with a specific English Literature text, one area of Maths or their exam technique - and filter your choices accordingly. If you're not sure where they need to focus, having a chat with them or their teacher can help you work out the best place to start. In a free meeting, you can then ask the tutor any questions you like and see how well they get on with your child before deciding to book.
Why is online tutoring important?
Online tutoring gives kids the chance to learn at their own pace and in a way that matches their learning style. Teens are often too shy to put their hand up in class - especially if they're struggling. The reassurance of one-to-one tutoring means they can ask all the questions they want, and go over topics as much as they need until they get it.
What are the benefits of online tutoring?
One-to-one tutoring lets kids unleash their potential. Worried about learning gaps? We'll fill them in. No tutors in your area? We've got you covered. No academic confidence? No problem. Whatever your child needs help with, their tutor will guide them through tricky topics and boost their self-belief. With the personalised one-to-one support from their tutor, your child can get the grades they deserve.
How much does a tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience and qualifications, starting from £26/hour. You can see all the tutors who match your budget with the handy price filter on our Find a tutor page.
How to find a tutor?
Finding a tutor is easy. Whatever you need, you can search and filter by subject, level, price, experience and more.
- View our tutors, and narrow your search by subject, academic level or price.
- Compare their profiles to learn about their background, experience and availability. Don't forget to take a peek at their reviews from parents and students!
- Message a tutor (or two, or three) and book your free meeting at a time that suits you.
- Book a lesson and pay as you go. There are no hidden costs and you can skip or cancel any time.
How do online lessons work?
We have our own online lesson space with video chat, messaging and an interactive whiteboard - this makes it easy for students and tutors to talk to each other, discuss tricky concepts and do practice questions together. With the live video chat, they can have a natural back-and-forth conversation - just like on FaceTime, Whatsapp and other apps teens use all the time.
Finding a private tutor in Cambridge
English can be a tricky subject for some students, especially when it comes to essays, comprehension, or developing confidence in reading and writing. Many students and parents find that one-to-one online tuition can provide the personalised support necessary to improve understanding and class performance. With expert guidance, learners can develop stronger literacy, critical thinking, and communication skills, making subjects like GCSE and A Level English more approachable. Studying in Cambridge offers access to tutors who understand the curriculum and can tailor lessons to each student’s needs. MyTutor’s online 1-to-1 English tuition connects Cambridge students with experienced tutors for personalised learning. Students improve by one grade on average after six lessons, gaining confidence and skills to excel in exams and coursework. Tutors provide structured sessions focusing on essays, reading comprehension, analysis, and creative writing. This approach helps students strengthen foundational skills while also fostering a love of literature and language. Many of MyTutor's English tutors are current students or recent graduates from UK universities, providing relatable role models and expert mentors. They bring practical experience, passion for teaching, and a deep understanding of exam requirements. This allows students to learn in a friendly, supportive environment that encourages participation and enthusiasm. With online access in Cambridge, students can enjoy flexible, tailored guidance to achieve academic success and develop a lasting appreciation for English.
