Why Strong English Grades Are So Important for Their Future
English is more than just another GCSE; it’s a core skill that opens doors. The ability to analyse a quote from 'Macbeth' or write a persuasive essay isn't just for passing exams. It teaches your child how to communicate clearly and think critically – skills that are essential for getting into competitive colleges and universities, and for succeeding in any future career. A great grade in English shows they have the strong foundation needed for the next step.

The Right English Support, Tailored to Your Child's Needs
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a partnership with your child. By getting to know their unique learning style and where they need the most help, they create a supportive space to ask questions and build confidence. We know how important trust is, which is why all our tutors are background-checked, and we only accept 1 in every 8 who apply – so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's specific goals. If they're struggling to understand poetry or need help structuring their essays for top marks, their tutor will focus the session on exactly that. This personalised approach is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade. For those taking GCSEs, our support can help improve their results by up to two grades, giving them the best possible chance of securing a place at their chosen sixth form. Finding that support shouldn't add to your family's stress. With online tutoring, there are no extra journeys to worry about. You can find the perfect English tutor from anywhere in the UK and schedule lessons at times that fit around school, clubs, and family life. It’s simple, flexible, and designed to work for you.

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
My child wants to apply to a competitive sixth form like Sir Christopher Hatton Academy. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors can help your child focus on the specific areas of the English curriculum needed to boost their grades. With tailored support, we can help improve GCSE results by up to two grades, giving them the strong academic profile needed for applications to competitive sixth forms.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Northampton or Leicester. How can an English tutor support this?
Strong English grades at GCSE and A-Level are often a key requirement for university courses. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills that universities look for, building a solid foundation for their application and future studies.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and level of study. You can use our search filters to find experienced tutors who fit your family's budget.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential 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.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child to learn and collaborate with their tutor from the comfort of your home.
My child has lost their confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. Tutors are brilliant at breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, which helps to rebuild self-belief one lesson at a time.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long, and most families opt for one session per week. However, this is completely flexible. You can arrange session frequency and length directly with your tutor to fit your child's needs and your schedule.
My child is preparing for their GCSEs. How exactly can you help?
Our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum. They can help with everything from exam technique and time management to understanding core texts and improving essay writing. Our focused support has been shown to help students improve their final GCSE grade by up to two grades.
