Why a Strong GCSE in English is Key for Their Future
More than just a core subject, English provides the essential skills for success across the board. The ability to analyse a tricky passage from a poem or confidently structure an essay on 'An Inspector Calls' isn't just for English class. These skills are vital for other A-Levels like History or Sociology, and they form the foundation of the strong communication needed for a competitive university application and future career.

Rachel B
Enthusiastic tutor of Food, Nutrition and English.
I have been teaching Food and Nutrition to GCSE standard in secondary schools for over 20 years. This has involved me planning, preparing and delivering both theory and practical lessons for students, always endeavouring to make the subject as fun and engaging as possible. Very often students opt for this subject at GCSE believing it is ' just cooking' but there is so much more to it than that! Particularly in recent times, the amount of food science content in the Food curriculum has really increased, and this can be quite daunting for students to get to grips with. I really enjoy helping them...

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 goes to Wood Green School. Can a tutor help them keep up with the pace?
Absolutely. Our tutors can tailor their lessons to support the specific curriculum and pace of your child's school, whether it's Wood Green, Henry Box, or another local school. They can help consolidate what's being taught in class, fill in any gaps, and even stretch your child with more challenging material if they're ready for it.
We're aiming for a Russell Group university. Can a tutor help with more than just GCSEs?
Yes, definitely. Many of our English tutors have experience supporting students with A-Level studies, university applications, and even writing personal statements. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and writing skills that top universities look for, giving them a strong foundation for success beyond their GCSEs.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for your child's success. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason 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 do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their teaching style and how they can help with your child's specific goals.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a rigorous selection process, including identity and background checks. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
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 and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home, without you needing to worry about travel.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. As their tutor helps them grasp difficult concepts, like analysing Shakespearean language, their self-belief grows along with their skills.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is mainly about the tutor getting to know your child. They'll chat about their strengths, weaknesses, and what they want to achieve in English. This helps the tutor create a tailored learning plan that's perfectly suited to your child's needs from the very start.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress. This allows the tutor to build momentum and support what your child is learning at school. You can easily arrange a schedule that works for you directly with your chosen tutor.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts in all core academic subjects, we also offer tutoring in a wide range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor on our platform.
