Online GCSE English Language Tutors
Maybe it was a parents’ evening, or a mock exam that didn’t make sense. When the difference between analysing and evaluating feels like a foreign language, it’s easy to feel out of your depth. But even when you can’t help with the subject, you can still help them.
Our Tutor Finder does the work for you. You answer a few simple questions about your child and their goals, and we find the right person. Not a list to scroll through, but a genuine recommendation from people who know what they’re doing.

Matched to the right tutor, without the guesswork
We find the right fit by asking the right questions: about your child’s goals, how they learn best, and any specific needs. We then recommend a personal shortlist of tutors we’d genuinely back for them.
Only one in eight applicants is accepted, and every tutor is ID-verified and DBS-checked before they can meet any child. It’s why thousands of parents like you give us 4.6 stars in their reviews.
Your first lesson is a low-pressure chat to see if it’s a good fit. If it isn't, our First Lesson Guarantee means we'll find another tutor, no charge and no awkwardness.

Find a tutor Charlotte H
After getting a grade 4 in English language our son decided to resit the following year hoping to achieve grade 5. Charlotte was absolutely brilliant in helping him, she gave him angles and consideration's he wasn't aware of and constructive feedback on work undertaken. He has now achieved a grade 6. I am absolutely certain that the sessions he had with Charlotte you made the difference, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to improve their English grade. Thank you so much.

Emsal A
Simply speaking, Emsal has transformed my grades from 5 and 6 in English Language and English Literature in Year 10 to grades 8 and 9 with his patient, kind, and easygoing character and method. Not only does he have a great personality as a teacher, but also is highly skilled and capable of teaching these subjects, giving useful tips and improvements as well as higher knowledge and context to access excellent grades. More importantly,, Emsal helped me develop my interest towards English which I had not previously enjoyed, allowing me to commit to homework tasks between lessons so I could receive feedback and gradually improve my analytical or prose writing style. Overall, I fully recommend Emsal as a GCSE English Language and Literature tutor as he is experienced, affable, and improved my English capabilities.

Carla J
The first time I spoke to Carla, I knew were were in safe hands. She is warm and supportive as well as being extremely professional and knowledgeable. We only worked with her for a short time, but she very quickly identified an issue that was holding my son back, and she boosted his confidence so that he has felt much more prepared going into his GCSEs. I recommend her very highly.
