Why a Strong English Grade is So Important
English is more than just a subject; it's a skill for life. The ability to analyse a complex text like 'Macbeth' or write a persuasive essay builds critical thinking that is essential for A-Levels and university. A strong GCSE in English doesn't just look good on paper – it gives your child the communication and analytical skills they'll need for higher education and their future career.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at South Hunsley School. Can a tutor help them meet the high standards for GCSE English?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students aim for top grades. They can create a tailored plan that complements the school curriculum, focusing on specific areas your child needs to strengthen to meet and exceed those high expectations.
Can a tutor help my child with their personal statement for universities like York or Leeds?
Yes, many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students craft compelling personal statements for their university applications. They can help your child articulate their strengths and ambitions, which is a crucial step for applying to competitive universities.
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 messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It’s all about finding a personality and teaching style that your child will respond to.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. With 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 can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked, and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted expert.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price on our search page to find someone who fits your budget, with prices clearly displayed on their profile.
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 the space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As they start to master topics they once found tricky, their self-belief naturally grows.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How quickly will we see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach gets results. In fact, 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs, we can help students improve by up to two grades.
Can my child get help with specific texts, like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Yes, definitely. Tutors can provide targeted support for specific set texts, poems, or plays your child is studying for their exams. Just mention what they're working on when you message a tutor.
What's the difference between a tutor and a teacher?
While many of our tutors are qualified teachers, their role is a little different. A tutor provides personalised, one-to-one support that is tailored specifically to your child's needs, moving at their pace to fill in any gaps in their knowledge.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects! Alongside core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can find expert tutors for music lessons like guitar and piano, languages, and even skills like coding.
