How Great English Grades Secure Your Child's Future
A strong grasp of English isn't just about passing an exam; it's a vital skill for life. The ability to analyse complex texts, from Shakespeare to modern poetry, and to build a compelling argument in an essay is what top universities and employers look for. Securing a high grade in GCSE English is often a key requirement for the most sought-after A-Level subjects and is fundamental for a successful application to a Russell Group university. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, with many GCSE students improving by up to two grades, giving them the best possible start.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
We're aiming for top GCSE grades to meet the A-Level requirements at Brentwood School. Can we find a specialist tutor?
Yes, definitely. You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, including their success in helping students achieve top 7-9 grades at GCSE. Many specialise in the exam board your child is studying and can tailor lessons to build the sophisticated analysis and writing skills needed for entry into competitive sixth forms.
My child wants to apply for a place at an Essex grammar school. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping students prepare for the 11+ and other competitive entrance exams. They can focus on the verbal reasoning and comprehension skills needed to give your child the best possible chance of success.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to watch tutors' introductory videos, read their profiles, and check reviews from other parents. You can message them for free before booking to ask about their experience with the GCSE curriculum or helping students build confidence in essay writing. It's all about finding a great match for your child's personality and learning style.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right personal connection is key to learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, just 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 cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of demand. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. You can filter your search by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS check (or equivalent) before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, so your child can focus on learning with their tutor.
How can a tutor help my child with their confidence in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors can break down tricky topics, celebrate small wins, and adapt their teaching style, which helps your child feel capable and much more confident in their abilities.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects from primary to degree level, we also offer support for a huge range of hobbies and skills. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, master coding in Python, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor to help.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works perfectly. This allows enough time to build momentum and see real progress without overwhelming your child. However, it's completely flexible, and you can arrange a schedule that works best for you and your child with your tutor.
Can a tutor help with the specific books or poems my child is studying?
Yes, that's one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Tutors can tailor lessons to the exact texts your child is studying for their GCSEs or A-Levels. This makes revision focused, relevant, and much more effective.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payment is simple and secure. Once a lesson is complete, payment is made automatically via your saved credit or debit card through our platform. You never have to deal with cash, and you can easily track all your payments in your account.
