Rebecca B
English Experienced English GCSE Tutor
I inspire my students to think creatively about language and imagery and to visualise literary concepts in a way they understand. I give students practical knowledge about writing techniques and accurate use of language. I also give students clear step by step guidance so they feel confident and can eventually work independently. I seek to set up frameworks and questions that prompt students to use the knowledge they already have and to keep building their learning.

Megan G
Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form like Tapton or Silverdale. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many parents in Sheffield come to us with this specific goal. Our tutors can focus on the exact areas of the GCSE English curriculum your child needs to strengthen, helping them build the skills and confidence to aim for the top grades required for entry into their preferred sixth form.
With the University of Sheffield nearby, we want to ensure a strong foundation. How does GCSE English help?
A strong GCSE in English is highly valued by all universities, including the University of Sheffield. It demonstrates crucial skills in critical thinking, communication, and analysis that are essential for degree-level study in almost any subject. It's a key qualification that helps keep your child's future options wide open.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask questions before you book. Think about your child’s personality and learning style – are they shy and in need of a confidence-builder, or do they need someone to challenge them? Finding the right fit is key.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is crucial for 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.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Confidence is often the biggest hurdle. In a one-to-one setting, there's no fear of getting something wrong in front of a class. Our tutors are brilliant at creating a positive and encouraging environment, celebrating small wins and breaking down difficult topics until they click. It can make a huge difference.
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, allowing you to find an experienced tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, so it feels just like being in the same room. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with specific exam boards and texts?
Yes. Our tutors have experience with all major UK exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, and OCR. When you search, you can filter for tutors who are specialists in the specific texts your child is studying for their GCSEs, from Shakespeare to modern poetry.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with our tutors. Consistent, weekly lessons are often the best way to see steady progress and build lasting confidence.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something different?
While we offer fantastic support for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding in Python, or even learn a new language, we have a tutor who can help.
What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring services?
We believe it's our focus on finding the perfect match for your child. With over 4,100 reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, and over 200,000 happy students, our community speaks for itself.
