Why a Strong English GCSE is So Important for Their Future
Beyond analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' or mastering complex grammar, a strong English GCSE is a passport to your child's next steps. It's the qualification colleges and universities look for first, often determining which A-Level courses they can take. The skills they build – clear communication, critical thinking, and understanding different viewpoints – are exactly what they'll need to succeed at university and in their 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!

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 wants to study A-Levels at Gower College Swansea. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE specialists and have extensive experience helping students secure the grades they need for their chosen A-Level courses. They can focus on the specific areas of the English curriculum your child finds challenging to help them achieve that crucial B/6 grade or higher.
We're worried about the step up to university in Cardiff or Swansea. Can tutoring help with that transition?
Yes, it can. While our tutors are fantastic for GCSEs, many also support students with A-Levels and even undergraduate study. They can help your child develop the independent study skills, essay writing techniques, and critical thinking needed to thrive at university.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
It’s all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to make sure you've found the perfect match for their personality and learning style.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter your search to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on the tutors' profiles, so there are no hidden costs.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way to learn from the comfort of your home.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to 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.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can work wonders for confidence. In a safe space, your child can ask questions they might be afraid to ask in class. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps your child see their own progress, which is a huge confidence booster.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach means you can see progress quickly. 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and attitude towards the subject.
Can a tutor help with specific exam techniques for GCSE English?
Yes, this is one of the most common things parents ask for. Our tutors can help your child understand mark schemes, structure their answers effectively, manage their time in an exam, and practice with past papers to feel fully prepared and calm on the day.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have expert tutors for all core academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish to coding in Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring companies?
We're trusted by thousands of families across the UK, with a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. We focus on finding the perfect match for your child from a handpicked selection of the UK's best tutors, ensuring a personalised and supportive learning experience that gets real results.
