Why a Strong GCSE in English Opens Doors for Your Child
English is more than just a subject; it's a key qualification that colleges and employers look for. Strong literacy skills, from analysing a quote in 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive argument, are essential for almost any path your child chooses. A good grade in GCSE English is often a requirement for the most sought-after A-Level courses and apprenticeships, giving your child the best possible range of options for their future.

Focused English Support, When Your Child Needs It Most
We know you want the very best for your child, which is why we're so selective about our tutors.

The right tutor will take the time to understand your child's unique learning style and build a genuine, supportive connection that helps them feel confident and ready to learn. Every lesson is built around your child. If they're finding essay structure for 'An Inspector Calls' tricky or need to build confidence with unseen poetry, their tutor will create a session that targets those specific areas.

Finding the perfect match is simple, and because all our lessons are online, they can fit easily around your family's schedule.

Sophie C
Experienced English English Literature and Language tutor.
Hello! My name is Sophie and I graduated from Durham University in English Literature in June 2024. I decided to study English Literature at university because I've always loved reading books and discussing them at length. Reading and analysing books gives us a better understanding of the world we operate within, human psychology, and the past. Outside of English, I love to draw, knit, and embroider. I also come from a big family, so I love spending time with them when we are together. I grew up internationally and lived in several countries before finally moving back to the UK.I also write my...

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 really help my child secure a place at Strode College or Yeovil College?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors can provide targeted support to help your child achieve the specific GCSE English grades, like a Grade 5 or above, that are often required for entry into competitive post-16 courses at colleges like Strode and Yeovil. They can build both skills and confidence to help them meet those entry requirements.
The schools in Bruton and Gillingham are very competitive. Can a tutor help my child keep up?
We understand the pressure that comes from being near high-performing schools. A private tutor can provide personalised attention that isn't always possible in a busy classroom, helping your child to not just keep up, but to feel confident and capable of achieving their best.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find an experienced, background-checked tutor to suit your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile with no hidden fees.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for learning. 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.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents, making it an engaging and effective way for your child to learn.
How can tutoring help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
One-to-one tutoring is fantastic for building confidence. A tutor can create a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. You can book a one-off lesson to prepare for a specific test, or set up regular weekly sessions to provide consistent support throughout the school year. You can discuss this with your chosen tutor.
Are the tutors qualified and safe to work with my child?
Yes. We take safety very seriously. We interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS check. We're proud to be selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than English?
Yes, we do! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects, from Maths and Science to modern languages and even practical skills like learning a musical instrument.
My child needs help with GCSEs. Can you help with that?
Definitely. GCSEs are one of our specialities. Our tutors are experienced in helping students prepare for their exams, and we can help improve your child's results by up to 2 grades.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person tutoring?
Many parents find it's even more effective. With no travel time, more flexibility, and access to the best tutors from across the UK, online learning offers a convenient and powerful way to support your child. Our 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews shows how much parents and students love it.
