Why a Strong GCSE in English Opens Doors for Your Child
More than just a qualification, a strong English GCSE is a key that unlocks your child's next steps. It's what colleges and sixth forms look for first, signalling that your child has the critical thinking and communication skills needed for A-Level success. Whether they're analysing a poem, structuring a persuasive essay, or getting to grips with 'Macbeth', they are building a foundation that will serve them well at university in Brighton or Sussex, and in their future career.

Personalised English Support, Tailored to Your Child's Goals
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a partnership with your child.

We handpick the very best tutors from across the UK, with only 1 in 8 applicants making it onto our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's specific needs.

If it's about structuring essays for English Literature, their tutor will provide targeted guidance and feedback. This focused approach is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade, and for GCSEs, that can be up to two grades. Finding time for extra support shouldn't be another stress.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grade needed for colleges like BHASVIC or Varndean?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target specific grades. They can focus on the exact skills your child needs to strengthen to secure a Grade 5 or higher, giving their college application the best possible chance of success.
My child hopes to go to the University of Sussex or Brighton. Can tutoring help?
Definitely. The skills learned for GCSE English – critical thinking, clear communication, and strong analysis – are the foundation for A-Level and university study. A tutor helps embed these skills deeply, preparing your child for the challenges of higher education.
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 to find the perfect fit. Think about your child's specific goals and personality, and look for a tutor whose approach seems like a good match.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but start from as little as £20 per hour. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and personally interviewed by our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. By working through problems together and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help them see their own progress and build self-belief.
What happens if we don't like the first tutor we choose?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With our First Lesson Guarantee, if you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes, and the ability to upload documents like past papers or essays for review.
What if my child's schedule is already really busy?
That's the great thing about online tutoring. You're not limited to tutors in your immediate area, so you have a much wider choice of available times. You can easily find a session that fits around school, clubs, and family life.
How quickly can my child start their lessons?
Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within 48 hours. Once you find a tutor you like, you can message them directly to check their availability and book your first session straight away.
Do you only offer tutoring for core school subjects?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for everything from learning the guitar or coding in Python to preparing for university entrance exams.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most sessions are one hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can always discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
