Why a Top Grade in English Opens Doors for Your Child
English is much more than just another GCSE or A-Level; it’s the key to your child's future opportunities. The ability to deconstruct a line from 'Macbeth' or build a compelling argument in an essay develops the powerful analytical and communication skills that top universities and future employers value most. A high grade in English doesn't just strengthen a university application—it gives your child the confidence and clarity of thought to succeed in any path they choose.

Flora I
Flora is a very patient, professional and well-prepared tutor. She always explains things clearly and teaches my son how to answer GCSE questions in a structured way. She provides homework, goes through mistakes carefully, and shows him how to improve his answers step by step. She also adjusts her teaching according to my son’s exam boards and level. My son is less anxious about English now and is slowly gaining confidence. We are very happy with her support and would definitely recommend her.
She is especially good at supporting students who are weaker in English and need clear guidance and structure.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a top sixth form like The Judd or Tonbridge Grammar. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in preparing students for competitive entry. They can focus on developing the advanced analytical and writing skills needed to achieve the grade 8s and 9s that make an application stand out, building your child's confidence for the step up to A-Levels.
We're worried a weaker English GCSE grade could affect their chances for a Russell Group university. Can tutoring help?
Yes, it's a very common concern and something our tutors are experienced in addressing. English is a crucial subject for university applications. A tutor can help your child secure the highest possible grade, strengthening their overall academic profile and demonstrating the critical thinking skills that top universities value highly.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match on Tutorful. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check qualifications, and see reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking to make sure you've found the right person.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We know how important the right fit is for your child's learning. 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 can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant to ensure they meet our high standards. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted expert.
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 easily filter your search by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
How do online lessons actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents and notes. It’s a simple and effective way for your child to learn one-to-one from the comfort of home.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with core subjects for their GCSEs and A-Levels, we also have expert tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, we can help.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. Our tutors create a patient and encouraging environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. This supportive relationship often leads to a huge boost in self-belief that helps them in all their subjects.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no minimum commitment. The number of lessons depends entirely on your child's goals. Some students have a regular weekly session to stay on track, while others book a few lessons to prepare for a specific exam. You can discuss what’s best with your tutor.
What makes online tutoring better than school?
School teachers do an amazing job, but they have to manage a whole class. Tutoring provides focused, one-to-one attention that you just can't get in a classroom of 30. Lessons are tailored entirely to your child's pace and learning style, so they can address specific challenges and build on their strengths.
How do I book and pay for lessons?
Booking is simple and secure. Once you've chosen a tutor, you can schedule lessons directly through their calendar on the platform. Payments are handled safely online, so there's no need for cash or awkward conversations.
