Why Strong English Grades Matter for Your Child's Future
A strong grade in GCSE English isn't just another qualification; it's a key that opens doors. It’s essential for getting into competitive local sixth forms and is highly respected by top institutions like Lancaster University. More than that, the skills your child develops—from analysing a quote from 'An Inspector Calls' to writing a persuasive essay—are skills for life. They build clear communication and critical thinking, which are vital for any career path they choose.

The Right English Support, Right When Your Child Needs It
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a connection with your child. By understanding their unique learning style and where they're struggling, they can create a supportive partnership that builds real confidence. We help you find that person by only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from the best. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's specific needs. If they find algebra tricky, their tutor can spend time breaking it down. If they're finding it hard to get to grips with Shakespeare, their tutor can find new ways to make it engaging. This focused support is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade – for GCSEs, that can be a jump of up to two grades. Finding time for extra support can be a challenge, but our online lessons make it simple. You can connect with the perfect English tutor from the comfort of your home in Heysham, scheduling sessions at times that fit around your family's life. It's flexible, convenient, and designed to help your child succeed without adding to your stress.

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.
