When your child is at a great school like Impington Village College, it can be frustrating to feel the pressure from the top Cambridge sixth forms.

Why a Top English Grade is Key for the Best Colleges
GCSE English is more than just a required qualification; it's the foundation for success in higher education. Strong analytical and communication skills are exactly what top colleges and Russell Group universities look for. Whether it's crafting a persuasive essay, deconstructing a complex poem, or analysing quotes from 'Macbeth', these are the abilities that will help your child's application stand out and allow them to thrive in their A-Levels.

Focused English Support to Help Your Child Stand Out
The right tutor does more than just teach the curriculum; they build a partnership with your child. By understanding their unique learning style and where they need the most help, they can create a supportive space for them to ask questions they might not ask in class. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from an expert who is background-checked and ready to help them succeed. Every one-to-one lesson is built around your child's specific goals. If they're struggling with poetry analysis or need to sharpen their essay structure to hit the top marks, their tutor will focus the session entirely on that. It's this personalised approach that makes all the difference. In fact, 90% of students improve by at least one grade, and for GCSEs, that can mean a jump of up to two grades – a crucial advantage in a competitive environment. Finding the right support shouldn't add more stress to your family's busy schedule. With Tutorful, you can connect with the perfect English tutor from the comfort of your home in Histon, at a time that works for you.

Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced online tutor and examiner, who has been teaching English Language & Literature and Religious Studies online since 2013. I am a fully qualified teacher with a Post-Graduate Certificate in Education.While I am a passionate tutor of each of these two subjects individually, more importantly I feel that my experience in each subject contributes something to the other.

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!

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 is at Impington Village College and aiming for Hills Road. Can a tutor help them secure a grade 8 or 9 in English?
Absolutely. This is a common goal for parents we support in the Histon area. Our tutors specialise in helping students push beyond a standard pass to achieve the top grades needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus specifically on the exam techniques and deeper analysis required to hit those grade 8 and 9 marking criteria.
How can an online tutor help my child's application to a competitive Cambridge sixth form stand out?
A top grade in English is a huge asset. A tutor can help your child develop the sophisticated analytical and writing skills that demonstrate they are ready for the academic rigour of A-Levels. This not only boosts their predicted grades but also gives them the confidence and knowledge to perform well in any entrance tests or interviews.
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 before booking to find the perfect fit. Look for a tutor with experience in the specific area your child needs help with, whether that's GCSE exam preparation, essay writing, or building confidence with Shakespeare.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With 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 are your tutors vetted?
We take safety and quality very seriously. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID and qualifications verified. We interview every tutor and are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can trust you're choosing from the best.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Often, a lack of confidence comes from not understanding a specific topic. In a one-to-one setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor can break down tricky concepts into manageable steps, celebrating small wins and creating a positive learning environment that builds their self-esteem.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat and an interactive whiteboard. A tutor might use the whiteboard to analyse a poem together, work through an example essay plan, or review your child's recent homework, providing instant, helpful feedback.
How do online lessons work? What technology do we need?
All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and works directly in your web browser, so there's no need to download any complicated software.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Sessions are typically one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can find and book a tutor very quickly, often starting lessons within a few days. Many of our tutors offer instant booking, so you can get the support your child needs right away.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're experts in core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have talented tutors who can teach a wide range of other skills. From learning to code in Python to playing the guitar or speaking Spanish, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
