Rob R
Expert GCSE English Tutor
22 students received their GCSE results this year - my biggest Y11 cohort yet, and with record success: 🎓 76% achieved top grades (7–9). 🍎 Every single student improved by at least one grade - and 80% jumped by two grades or more. ✏️ Four students were previously struggling at grade 3 - all passed, and two went on to secure a grade 6. 🏫 One student rose from a grade 4 at the end of Year 10 to a grade 9 at GCSE! Because I had so many students finishing their GCSEs this year, it means I have more spaces from September.Emails from students on GCSE Results Day:Student 1 (Edexcel IGCSE English): "Dea...

My son had a few English GCSE lessons with Ian now and he’s been great. He explains things clearly, is very patient, and always gives helpful feedback. He even stays a bit longer sometimes to finish the lesson properly. Really appreciate his support!

Megan G
Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

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.

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child wants to go to John Leggott College. Can a tutor help them get the Grade 5 in English they need?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common goals we help students with. Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and know exactly what's needed to secure a Grade 5 or higher. They can create a personalised plan to target weak spots, build exam technique, and give your child the confidence to secure their college place.
We live in Scunthorpe, but does the tutor need to be local?
No, and that's the great advantage of online tuition. Your child can connect with the very best English tutors from across the UK, not just those in the local area. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists, ensuring you find the perfect personality and expertise for your child.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to success. That's why we have 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.
My child has lost confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is where one-to-one tuition really shines. In a supportive, private setting, your child can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Tutors are experts at building self-esteem by celebrating small wins and breaking down tricky topics into manageable steps, which can completely change a child's attitude to a subject.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set a budget that works for you. Tutors display their prices clearly on their profiles, so you can find an affordable option without any hidden costs. It's completely transparent.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for brainstorming ideas, and a space to share documents and past papers. It's a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your home.
How do I know the tutors are safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and we've verified their ID. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted professional.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE texts like 'Macbeth' or 'An Inspector Calls'?
Yes, definitely. Many of our English tutors are specialists in the GCSE syllabus and its set texts. They can provide expert guidance on character analysis, theme, context, and how to structure high-scoring essays on these specific works, giving your child a real edge in their exams.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson a week, as this provides consistency and allows time to practise between sessions. However, you can arrange a schedule that suits your child's needs and your family's budget, whether that's a fortnightly top-up or more frequent lessons in the run-up to exams.
How quickly can we expect to see an improvement in my child's grades?
While every child learns at their own pace, the focused, one-to-one support often leads to progress quite quickly. The first improvement is usually in their confidence. In terms of results, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, which shows the positive impact our tutors have.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like guitar or coding?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with a new language, or explore skills like coding and public speaking, we have expert tutors who can help them pursue their passions.
