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.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Nelson and Colne College. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for specific colleges. They can focus on strengthening the exact GCSE English skills needed to secure a place on their desired A-Level or vocational course.
We live in Brierfield. Are the tutors also local?
Because our lessons are all online, you get access to the very best background-checked English tutors from across the UK, not just those in the Brierfield area. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists who can perfectly match your child's needs and learning style.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That’s why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! So while we can certainly help with GCSE English, your child can also learn practical skills like coding, a new language, or even how to play the guitar. It's all about changing lives through learning, whatever the subject.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking. It helps you get a feel for their approach and find the perfect match.
How much does an 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, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments.
Can a tutor really help with my child's confidence?
Definitely. For many children, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. This personalised attention often makes all the difference.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and a space to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, allowing your child and their tutor to focus on learning.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has to go through a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
My child is really struggling with GCSE English Literature. Can a tutor help?
Yes, our tutors are brilliant at breaking down complex texts, whether it's Shakespeare or modern poetry. They can help your child understand key themes, analyse characters, and structure their essays to hit the top marks. We find that 90% of students improve by at least one grade.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Most families start with one session a week, but you can schedule more frequent lessons during busy exam periods or less often for general support. It's completely flexible.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Consistent, tailored support is proven to help improve grades, often by one or even two grades at GCSE level.
