Why a Strong GCSE English Grade Opens Doors for Your Child
GCSE English is more than just another qualification; it's a foundation for your child's future. The skills they develop—from analysing quotes in 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive argument—are exactly what colleges and universities like Keele and Staffordshire look for. A good grade doesn't just secure their place on an A-Level course; it builds the communication and critical thinking skills they'll need to thrive in their future career and life.

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
My child wants to study at Stoke Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE English specialists. They can help your child target the specific grade they need for their chosen A-Level courses by focusing on exam technique, understanding the mark scheme, and building their confidence in weaker areas.
We're hoping for university at Keele or Staffordshire. How can an English tutor support this long-term goal?
A tutor can help build a strong foundation in English that serves your child well beyond their GCSEs. They'll develop crucial analytical and communication skills that are essential for A-Levels and university-level study, giving them a real head start.
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 experience. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will get on with. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat to see if they're a good fit.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key to success. 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 much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget. Tutors display their prices clearly on their profiles, so you can find affordable, high-quality support that works for your family.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one tutoring creates a safe space where there are no silly questions. When your child masters a topic they once found tricky, their self-belief grows. This boost in confidence often has a positive impact on their other subjects too.
Are your tutors qualified to teach GCSE English?
Yes. Many of our tutors are qualified teachers, examiners, or subject matter experts with years of experience specifically helping students succeed at GCSE level. You can view their full qualifications and experience on their profile.
What safety checks do your tutors have?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has been through a background check. We also verify their ID and references, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress and see how they are getting on. Seeing your child's confidence and school results improve is the best indicator.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we cover all core academic subjects from primary school to university, we also have tutors who can teach practical skills like learning to play the guitar, coding in Python, or even public speaking. There's something for everyone.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard session length is one hour, which most parents and students find works best. However, you can discuss your needs directly with your tutor, as some may offer shorter or longer sessions if required.
