Why a Strong English GCSE Opens Doors for Your Child
English isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for so much of your child's future success. A good grade is often essential for getting into college and is highly valued by top universities like Exeter and Plymouth. The skills they learn – like building a compelling argument or understanding complex texts – are skills for life. Whether they're breaking down a quote from 'Macbeth' or preparing for their English Language exam, a tutor helps them become a more confident and effective communicator, ready for whatever comes next.

Personalised English Support to Help Your Child Succeed
The right tutor does more than just teach; they get to know your child as an individual. They’ll take the time to understand how your child learns best, what they find tricky, and what their goals are. This means they can create a supportive, encouraging space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and isn't afraid to make mistakes. It’s this personal connection that helps build true confidence. Because every lesson is one-to-one, it’s shaped entirely around your child’s needs. If they're struggling with algebra in Maths or finding Shakespeare difficult in English, the tutor can focus the whole session on that exact topic until it clicks. This tailored approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, with our support proven to help improve GCSE results by up to two grades. Finding the right support shouldn't add more stress to your family's schedule. With our online lessons, you can connect with the very best tutors from across the UK – we only accept 1 in 8 who apply – right from your home in Liskeard. You can arrange lessons for times that suit you, whether it's after school or on a weekend, without any extra travel.

English Tutor - Making learning memorable
* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grade they need for Callywith College?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades, like the 5s and 6s needed for competitive courses. They can focus on exam technique, close reading skills, and essay writing to build your child's confidence and help them secure their place.
My child hopes to apply to universities like Exeter or Plymouth. How can an English tutor help?
That's a fantastic goal. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and communication skills needed for A-Levels and university applications. They can provide support with crafting a compelling personal statement and prepare them for the higher level of critical thinking expected at university.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It’s easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter tutors by their experience. We also recommend sending a message to a few tutors to chat about your child's specific needs before you book a lesson.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £20 to £50 per hour. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can easily find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is identity and background checked before they can join our platform. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and engaging. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and working through problems together, and a space to upload documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest hurdle. In a one-to-one lesson, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors provide constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which makes a huge difference to how your child feels about their abilities.
Can a tutor help with specific exam board requirements or texts?
Yes. Our tutors have experience with all the major exam boards, like AQA and Edexcel. They can tailor lessons to the specific requirements of your child's syllabus, whether that's analysing 'An Inspector Calls' or mastering poetry from the anthology.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set rule, as every child is different. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for an exam, while others have regular weekly sessions. You can discuss your child's goals with your chosen tutor, and they will help you create a plan that works for you.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today. Simply browse our tutors, find one you like, and send them a message to arrange your first lesson. Many tutors can offer a session within a few days, so you can get the support your child needs right away.
