English is more than just another subject; it’s a vital qualification that underpins almost every A-Level and degree course. Strong results are often a key requirement for competitive courses at college and university. The skills your child develops, from analysing a quote in 'Macbeth' to building a persuasive argument for an essay, are exactly what admissions tutors look for. A great grade in English doesn't just pass an exam – it gives your child the tools and the confidence to succeed in their future studies.

My son has really enjoyed the sessions with her and she adapts them to ensure he is fully understanding the teaching.

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.

Hi Myles,
I just wanted to send you a heartfelt thank-you for the English lessons you gave my son. After only three sessions with you, he managed to pass — and we couldn’t be happier! He really enjoyed your lessons and said you made everything easy to understand and enjoyable.I truly appreciate the time, patience, and encouragement you gave him. It’s made a huge difference to his confidence and attitude toward English. Thanks again for all your help — we’re both very grateful!

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to South Gloucestershire and Stroud College. Can a tutor help them get the English grade they need?
Absolutely. Our tutors are very familiar with the GCSE curriculum and what colleges look for. They can work with your child to target the specific skills needed to secure a strong pass, like a grade 5 or 6, helping to ensure they have the best possible choice of A-Level subjects.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Bristol or UWE. How can an English tutor support this goal?
A strong English GCSE is the foundation for a successful university application. A tutor can help your child develop the critical thinking and analytical skills that top universities like Bristol and UWE value highly. This support not only helps with GCSEs but also prepares them for the demands of A-Level study and beyond.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget, with rates clearly displayed on every profile.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our priority. Every tutor must have a valid DBS check and provide references. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
What happens if we don't click with the 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 a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one attention in a supportive setting can do wonders for confidence. When your child masters a topic they once found difficult, like Shakespeare or grammar rules, their self-belief grows. Tutors celebrate small wins and create a positive learning environment where it's safe to make mistakes.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
It varies for each child, but consistent weekly lessons can make a big impact quite quickly. Our data shows that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, so you can feel confident you're making a great investment in their education.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your own home, with no travel required.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature GCSEs?
Yes, most of our English tutors are experienced in teaching both GCSE English Language and Literature. You can check their profiles for specific expertise and mention your child's needs when you message them to ensure they are a good fit.
What if my child has a specific learning need, like dyslexia?
Many of our tutors have experience and qualifications in supporting students with specific learning needs. You can use our search filters to find tutors with this experience and discuss your child's requirements with them directly to ensure they can provide the right support.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have thousands of amazing academic tutors, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get help with coding, or even learn a new language. It's all about helping them pursue their passions.
