Why a Strong English Grade is So Important for Their Future
English isn't just another GCSE; it's the foundation for so much more. Strong analytical and communication skills, developed while exploring texts like 'An Inspector Calls' or crafting persuasive arguments, are essential for top A-Level providers. For children hoping to study competitive subjects like law or history at a Russell Group university, a high grade in English is often a non-negotiable requirement. It's the skill that helps them think critically and express their ideas clearly, opening doors to their chosen future.

Mark C
Highly Experienced English Teacher with QTS
Hello, my name is Mark and I've been teaching Computer Science since 2011 and maths since 2022. I'm passionate about teaching others about the subject I have loved since I was 11 years old. What makes me different from other tutors? My brain isn't wired up like a typical computer science teacher, I've had to work hard to master my understanding of the various subject areas. So I know first hand what it is like to feel 'I just don't understand it'.Over the years I've mastered ways in which to deliver even the most trickiest of subject areas, so that you will not only learn new information, but be...

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to apply for A-Levels at a competitive college in Ely. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students meet the high entry requirements for selective colleges. They can focus on developing the specific analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve the top GCSE grades (7-9) that these institutions look for.
We're worried about getting the grades needed for a Russell Group university. Can a tutor help my child aim that high?
Definitely. This is a common goal for many families we support. An experienced English tutor can help your child go beyond the curriculum, fostering the critical thinking and deep subject knowledge that top universities value. They can help your child develop the confidence and skills to aim for the highest grades.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding in Python to public speaking and university admissions prep.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are your tutors safe and 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 background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
How can a tutor help build my child's confidence in English?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space makes a huge difference. Tutors can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and adapt their teaching style to suit your child. This personalised approach helps them feel more capable and less anxious about the subject.
How does online tutoring actually 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 computer or tablet with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most families find that a regular weekly session works best to build momentum and see consistent progress, but the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your tutor.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
Every session is tailored to your child. It might start with a quick review of what they covered in school that week, then move on to tackling a specific area they find tricky, like analysing a poem or planning an essay. The focus is always on your child's individual needs.
Can a tutor help with the specific texts my child is studying for GCSEs?
Yes, of course. Our English tutors are very familiar with the GCSE curriculum across all major exam boards. Whether it's 'Macbeth', 'Jekyll and Hyde', or the Power and Conflict poetry anthology, they can provide expert guidance on the specific texts your child is studying.
