Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

My child wants to go to Wiltshire College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students build the core skills and exam technique needed to secure the GCSE grades for college entry. They can create a personalised plan to target areas your child finds difficult, helping them build the confidence to perform their best.
We're worried about future university applications to places like Bristol or Bath. How can an English tutor help now?
A strong GCSE in English is the foundation for A-Level success and university applications. A tutor can help your child develop the critical thinking and analytical skills that top universities look for. By securing a great grade now, your child keeps their A-Level options open for the future.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory message, so you can find someone whose teaching style and personality will suit your child.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. You can filter by price to find an experienced, high-quality tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 properly vetted?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and interviewed by our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How can a tutor help build my child's confidence in English?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe and encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A tutor's patient guidance and positive feedback can transform your child's attitude towards a subject, helping them see their own progress and feel proud of their achievements.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has features like a shared whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing, making it easy for your child and their tutor to collaborate and work through problems together, just as they would in person.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the GCSE English curriculum?
Definitely. Whether it's analysing Shakespeare, understanding unseen poetry, or improving exam technique for their final papers, our tutors can tailor sessions to focus on the exact topics your child needs the most support with.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can easily communicate with them through our platform to discuss how things are going and stay informed about the improvements your child is making.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without losing focus. However, you can discuss your needs directly with your tutor, as many are flexible with session length.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we're experts in core academic subjects, we also have talented tutors who teach a huge range of other skills! From learning an instrument like the guitar or piano to practical skills like coding and public speaking, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
