Why a Strong GCSE English Grade Opens Doors for Your Child
GCSE English is more than just another qualification; it's a foundation for your child's future. The skills they develop—from analysing quotes in 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive argument—are exactly what colleges and universities like Keele and Staffordshire look for. A good grade doesn't just secure their place on an A-Level course; it builds the communication and critical thinking skills they'll need to thrive in their future career and life.

Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced online tutor, who has been teaching English Language & Literature, and Religious Studies online since 2013.

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 wants to study at Stoke Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE English specialists. They can help your child target the specific grade they need for their chosen A-Level courses by focusing on exam technique, understanding the mark scheme, and building their confidence in weaker areas.
We're hoping for university at Keele or Staffordshire. How can an English tutor support this long-term goal?
A tutor can help build a strong foundation in English that serves your child well beyond their GCSEs. They'll develop crucial analytical and communication skills that are essential for A-Levels and university-level study, giving them a real head start.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will get on with. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat to see if they're a good fit.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to success. 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 much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget. Tutors display their prices clearly on their profiles, so you can find affordable, high-quality support that works for your family.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space where there are no silly questions. When your child masters a topic they once found tricky, their self-belief grows. This boost in confidence often has a positive impact on their other subjects too.
Are your tutors qualified to teach GCSE English?
Yes. Many of our tutors are qualified teachers, examiners, or subject matter experts with years of experience specifically helping students succeed at GCSE level. You can view their full qualifications and experience on their profile.
What safety checks do your tutors have?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has been through a background check. We also verify their ID and references, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress and see how they are getting on. Seeing your child's confidence and school results improve is the best indicator.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we cover all core academic subjects from primary school to university, we also have tutors who can teach practical skills like learning to play the guitar, coding in Python, or even public speaking. There's something for everyone.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which most parents and students find works best. However, you can discuss your needs directly with your tutor, as some may offer shorter or longer sessions if required.
