Why a Strong English GCSE is Key for Their Future
A strong GCSE in English Language isn't just another qualification; it's the key that unlocks your child's future choices. It’s essential for securing a place at a top sixth form like Collyer's and gives them the freedom to choose the A-Levels they're passionate about. The ability to analyse a quote from 'Macbeth' or structure a persuasive argument isn't just for exams – it builds critical thinking skills needed for competitive universities like Sussex and Brighton, and for any career they choose.

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 Collyer's sixth form. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students meet the entry requirements for competitive sixth forms like Collyer's. They can focus on strengthening your child's essay writing and analytical skills to help them achieve the GCSE grades they need.
We're worried a low GCSE English grade will limit university choices like Sussex or Brighton. How can tutoring help?
It's a common concern, and we're here to help. A strong English GCSE is a foundation for many A-Levels and university courses. Our tutors work with your child to build core skills and confidence, aiming to improve their grade. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, opening up more opportunities for their future.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to ask about their approach. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right fit is the most important thing. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just 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 tuition cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your budget.
Are your tutors properly vetted?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has been through a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
One-to-one tuition is fantastic for building confidence. In a supportive, private setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics, helping your child see their own progress and feel capable again.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home, with all their lesson notes saved in one place.
Do you only offer help with school subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer a huge range of other skills! From learning to play the guitar or piano to getting to grips with coding or a new language, there's a tutor for almost any interest your child might have.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to ask questions or discuss their learning goals. Many parents say they see a positive change not just in their child's grades, but in their attitude towards learning.
What if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life happens! We have a flexible 24-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can cancel or reschedule a lesson without being charged.
