Why a Strong GCSE in English is Key for Their Future
More than just a core subject, English provides the essential skills for success across the board. The ability to analyse a tricky passage from a poem or confidently structure an essay on 'An Inspector Calls' isn't just for English class. These skills are vital for other A-Levels like History or Sociology, and they form the foundation of the strong communication needed for a competitive university application and future career.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to Wood Green School. Can a tutor help them keep up with the pace?
Absolutely. Our tutors can tailor their lessons to support the specific curriculum and pace of your child's school, whether it's Wood Green, Henry Box, or another local school. They can help consolidate what's being taught in class, fill in any gaps, and even stretch your child with more challenging material if they're ready for it.
We're aiming for a Russell Group university. Can a tutor help with more than just GCSEs?
Yes, definitely. Many of our English tutors have experience supporting students with A-Level studies, university applications, and even writing personal statements. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and writing skills that top universities look for, giving them a strong foundation for success beyond their GCSEs.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for your child's success. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason 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 I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their teaching style and how they can help with your child's specific goals.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a rigorous selection process, including identity and background checks. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home, without you needing to worry about travel.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. As their tutor helps them grasp difficult concepts, like analysing Shakespearean language, their self-belief grows along with their skills.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is mainly about the tutor getting to know your child. They'll chat about their strengths, weaknesses, and what they want to achieve in English. This helps the tutor create a tailored learning plan that's perfectly suited to your child's needs from the very start.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress. This allows the tutor to build momentum and support what your child is learning at school. You can easily arrange a schedule that works for you directly with your chosen tutor.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts in all core academic subjects, we also offer tutoring in a wide range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor on our platform.
