A great GCSE grade in English gives them the qualification and the confidence to aim high.

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
We're in Redbourn and aiming for a competitive sixth form like St George's. Can a tutor help with this specific goal?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students secure places at highly sought-after schools and sixth forms. They understand the high standards required and can focus on developing the analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve the top grades (8s and 9s) that these institutions look for.
My child is worried their GCSE English grade will limit their A-Level choices. How can a tutor help?
This is a very common concern, and it's where a tutor can make a real difference. By working one-to-one, a tutor can identify the specific gaps in your child's knowledge, build their confidence, and provide targeted exam practice. This helps them not only improve their grade but also develop a deeper understanding of the subject, preparing them for A-Level study and beyond.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. It's all about finding a great personality match to help your child feel comfortable and motivated.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and level, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget, with prices starting from £20 per hour.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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.
Are your tutors qualified and background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one to ensure they have the right expertise. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. All they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. It’s simple, secure, and effective.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence?
Often, a lack of confidence comes from not wanting to ask questions in a busy classroom. One-to-one tutoring provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to say 'I don't understand' without any pressure. As they start to master topics they once found tricky, their confidence naturally grows.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we have thousands of expert tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a wide range of other skills. Your child could learn to code in Python, play the guitar, or even learn a new language. There's something for every interest.
How often should my child have a lesson?
We find that a one-hour lesson each week is the most effective approach for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be discussed with your tutor. Some families choose to have more lessons in the run-up to exams.
How can I track my child's progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback after each session, letting you know what they covered and how your child is getting on. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress and goals. It's a collaborative effort between you, your child, and the tutor.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens! Our platform makes it easy to manage your schedule. You can cancel or reschedule a lesson with your tutor, but we do ask that you give them at least 12 hours' notice. You can agree on the specifics directly with your tutor.
