More Than Just a Grade: How English Shapes Their Future
A strong English GCSE is one of the most important qualifications your child will earn. It’s not just about analysing quotes from ‘Macbeth’ or understanding poetic devices; it’s about learning to communicate clearly, think critically, and build a convincing argument. These are the core skills they’ll rely on for their A-Levels, for writing compelling university essays, and for succeeding in their future career, whatever they choose to do.

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 Diss High School. Can a tutor help them aim for top grades for sixth forms in Norwich or Bury St Edmunds?
Absolutely. Many parents in Diss use Tutorful for this exact reason. Our tutors are experienced in helping students move beyond a 'pass' to achieve the top 7-9 grades. They can focus on developing the advanced essay writing and analytical skills that respected sixth forms look for.
We're hoping our child will go to UEA. Can a tutor help build the skills needed for a university application?
Yes. A great English tutor can help your child develop the clarity, confidence, and critical thinking skills that are essential for A-Levels and university. They can help with everything from crafting a compelling personal statement to preparing for the demands of degree-level writing.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings and reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to make sure you find the perfect match.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is 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 much does an online English tutor in Diss cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an experienced tutor that fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform undergoes a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can start teaching.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to progress. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of judgement, helping them to build self-belief alongside their subject knowledge.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one hour-long lesson per week, as this consistency helps to build momentum. However, the schedule is completely flexible and you can arrange a frequency that works best for your child and your family with your chosen tutor.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, and we understand that. Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You can cancel or reschedule a lesson with your tutor, but please be sure to give them at least 24 hours' notice to avoid being charged.
Can my child get help with GCSE English coursework?
Yes, a tutor can provide excellent support for coursework. They can help your child brainstorm ideas, structure their work, and refine their writing, but they will always ensure the final piece is your child's own work, in line with school rules.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like coding or a musical instrument?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. From learning skills like coding and public speaking to hobbies like guitar, chess, or a new language, there are expert tutors available to help your child explore their interests.
