It's essential for getting into competitive courses at colleges like Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form and is a fundamental requirement for top universities, including Durham. The skills they'll sharpen with a tutor—from crafting compelling arguments to deeply analysing poetry—are the same skills they'll need to excel in A-Levels, university, and 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!

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
Can a tutor help my child get the grades for Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form in Darlington?
Absolutely. Many parents in Newton Aycliffe share that goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades needed for competitive colleges. They can focus on the exact areas of the GCSE English curriculum your child needs to strengthen to give them the best possible chance of securing their place.
My child is at Woodham Academy. Can we find a tutor who understands the GCSE English curriculum they follow?
Yes. Our tutors have extensive experience with the AQA, Edexcel, and other exam boards used in schools across the country, including Woodham Academy. During your first chat, you can discuss your child's specific curriculum to ensure the tutor is a perfect match and can tailor lessons to what they're learning in class.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the right fit for your child. Our First Lesson Guarantee means that if you don't get on with your 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.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core academics like English, Maths, and Science, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach everything from coding and guitar to modern languages and music theory.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents just like you. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to ask about their experience with the GCSE curriculum. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important thing.
How much does an online English tutor cost in Newton Aycliffe?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly shown on their profiles. This transparency means you can find an experienced English tutor that fits your family's budget, with no hidden costs.
How are your tutors vetted?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a DBS background check. We also interview them to assess their expertise and teaching style. We're very selective – only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted onto our platform.
How do online lessons actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child just needs a laptop or computer with a microphone and webcam, and a stable internet connection.
How can tutoring help if my child has lost confidence in English?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions and make mistakes without fear of judgement. By breaking down tricky topics, like analysing poetry, and celebrating small wins, they can rebuild your child's self-belief step-by-step.
How long will my child need a tutor for?
It really depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for a specific exam, while others benefit from regular weekly support throughout the school year. You can discuss this with your chosen tutor, and there are no long-term contracts, so you have complete flexibility.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can chat with the tutor regularly through our messaging system to stay updated on what they're covering in lessons. The tutor will provide feedback on your child's progress and the areas they are working on together.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life happens, we get it! Most tutors are very flexible. As long as you give them enough notice (usually 24 hours, as stated in their cancellation policy), you can easily reschedule a lesson for a time that works better for your family.
