How a Strong English GCSE Opens Doors for Your Child
English isn't just about passing an exam; it's the foundation for so much more. Strong skills in analysing a text like 'Macbeth' or crafting a persuasive argument are essential for almost every A-Level subject. It's a qualification that colleges and universities look for, paving the way for your child to pursue their ambitions, whether that’s at the University of Bedfordshire or further afield. It gives them the communication skills they'll need for any future career.

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 Sandy Secondary School. Can we find a tutor familiar with the GCSE curriculum they follow?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience with the specific curricula used in schools across Bedfordshire, including the AQA and Edexcel exam boards commonly taught for GCSE English. You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience and even send them a message before booking to ensure they're the right fit for your child's needs.
We're hoping for A-Levels at Stratton Upper School. Can a tutor help my child secure the English GCSE grade they need?
Yes, that's a common goal for many parents we help. Our tutors are experts at focusing on the specific skills needed to turn a grade 4 into a 5, or a 5 into a 6 or higher. They can work with your child on exam technique and understanding the mark scheme to help them secure the grades required for their chosen A-Level path at Stratton Upper.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the right person. You can filter tutors by subject, level, and price. We recommend watching their short introduction videos to get a feel for their personality and reading reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors for free before booking to ask about their experience and teaching style.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, simply 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 Sandy cost?
Prices are set by the individual tutors and vary based on their experience and qualifications. You'll see the hourly rate clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. Your child can work through past papers, analyse texts, and get instant feedback, just as they would in person.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, which includes an identity check and a DBS background check. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. When a topic 'clicks' for a child, their self-belief grows. Our tutors provide a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult concepts, like analysing poetry or Shakespeare, a tutor helps them build skills step-by-step, which is a huge confidence booster.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a change in their child's confidence and attitude towards a subject after just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring.
Can tutoring help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, definitely. Most English tutors are experienced in teaching both the Language and Literature GCSEs. They can help your child with everything from creative writing for their Language paper to understanding character development in 'An Inspector Calls' for their Literature exam.
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 core curriculum! While we have fantastic tutors for Maths, English, and Science, you can also find experts to teach your child skills like coding, Python, playing the guitar, or even learning a new language. It's all about helping them pursue their passions.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
We understand that life gets busy. If you need to reschedule, you just need to give your tutor 24 hours' notice. You can arrange a new time that works for both of you directly through our platform.
