English is more than just a subject; it’s a vital life skill that opens doors. The ability to analyse a complex text like 'An Inspector Calls' or to structure a persuasive argument gives your child a huge advantage. These are the skills they'll need for A-Levels, successful apprenticeship applications, and throughout university. A strong GCSE in English gives your child the widest range of options for their future.

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.

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.

My child attends Netherwood Academy. Can a tutor help them secure a Grade 5 in GCSE English?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE specialists and have extensive experience helping students target specific grades. They can work with your child on the exact areas they find tricky, building their skills and confidence to help them secure that all-important pass and beyond.
We're worried about my child's options for Barnsley College. Can tutoring help?
Yes. A tutor can help your child develop the strong English skills needed for their application and chosen courses at Barnsley College. By securing a better GCSE grade, your child will have a wider range of vocational and A-Level options available to them.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Think about your child's personality and learning style – a great tutor is someone your child will look forward to learning with.
How do you make sure tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS check. We only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
How much does an English tutor in Wombwell cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons are tailored to your child's needs. They take place in our online classroom, which features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might spend a session reviewing your child's essay technique or breaking down complex quotes from 'Macbeth'.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost their confidence?
One-to-one attention from a patient and encouraging tutor can make a huge difference. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, tutors help rebuild your child's self-belief, creating a positive cycle of learning and achievement.
What if we don't like the first lesson?
We want you to be 100% happy. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. It's as simple as that.
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 keep up with schoolwork, but the frequency is completely up to you and your tutor.
