More than just a core GCSE subject, English develops the critical thinking and communication skills that top sixth forms and universities like UCL and King's College London look for. From crafting a compelling essay on 'An Inspector Calls' to analysing the nuances of a poem, strong English skills give your child the tools to express their ideas clearly and confidently. We know this focused support makes a real difference – in fact, we can help boost your child's GCSE results by up to two grades.

Support That's Built Around Your Child's English Goals
We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best. Our tutors are more than just subject experts; they take the time to understand how your child learns. Whether they're struggling to analyse a tricky poem or need help structuring an essay on 'Macbeth', the tutor will adapt their methods to build a genuine connection and make learning feel positive and productive. Every online lesson is designed specifically for your child. There’s no 'one-size-fits-all' approach here. If they need to focus on exam technique for their GCSE English Language paper, that’s what the session will cover. If they need to go back over key themes in a set text, the tutor will create a lesson just for that. This targeted support is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade with us. Finding the right support shouldn't add more stress to your family's schedule. With our online platform, you can connect with the perfect English tutor from anywhere in the UK, at a time that works for you.

Hi, I’m Rachael, an experienced and skilled tutor of English, Art and Film. I’ve been teaching children and teenagers throughout the last ten years to help them get the knowledge, grades and skills they’re looking for.

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.

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
We live in Lambeth and are worried about the competition for grammar and independent school places. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping students prepare for 11+ exams and interviews for competitive schools. They can focus on developing the advanced comprehension, creative writing, and verbal reasoning skills that these entrance exams require, giving your child the confidence to perform at their best.
My child hopes to apply to a Russell Group university like King's or UCL. Can a tutor help with that level of English?
Yes, definitely. We have many tutors who are graduates from top universities themselves and specialise in A-Level English and university application support. They can help your child develop the sophisticated analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve top grades and write a compelling personal statement that stands out.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect match for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Is tutoring just for core subjects like English and Maths?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects from primary level up to university, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language for fun, we can help you find an expert tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings and reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals—whether it's GCSE exam technique or building confidence in creative writing—to find the perfect fit.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This transparency allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
My child's confidence in English is low. Can a tutor really help with that?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a supportive, private setting, your child can ask questions they might be shy to ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics, which helps rebuild self-belief and a positive attitude towards learning.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and diagrams, and a space to upload documents like essays or past papers. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor must pass a background check and provide professional or academic references. We interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's needs. Most families start with one session a week to build momentum, but you can arrange lessons more or less frequently. You can discuss the best approach directly with your chosen tutor.
Can a tutor really help improve my child's GCSE English grade?
Yes, they can make a significant difference. Our data shows that we can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to two grades. Tutors can focus on specific areas of weakness, teach effective exam techniques, and build the core skills needed to achieve a higher grade.
How do I know Tutorful is a trusted platform?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students on their learning journey. We have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews from parents just like you, which we hope gives you confidence in the quality of support we provide.
