Leigh H
Leigh worked with our teenage son to prepare for his English Language iGCSE. With only a short time before the exam, they quickly developed a constructive rapport. Leigh was quickly able to assess where our son ‘was at’ in terms of his readiness for that exam. Over just a few sessions, analysis and writing skills were imparted and developed that meant our son felt prepared. Moreover, our son so enjoyed the way Leigh worked and his obvious passion for and skills in language analysis, that he chose to continue language analysis sessions just for the fun of it once the exam was over. A comment our son has made more than once after a session is, ‘I just love learning!’ The exam was passed really well – the outcome we hoped would be possible – but more significantly, we are grateful for Leigh’s ability to really draw out and develop our son’s enjoyment of the English language.

Ihsanur R
Last Year I did not do well in English Language in which I had a Grade 3. With my November resits fast approaching I felt very privileged to have Ihsanur as my tutor. He was able to present lessons in a concise way which helped me understand what went well and what I needed to improve on.
After the November resits I managed to obtain a Grade 4 in English Language AQA. I would really recommend him for those taking the GCSE 2026 because he is committed and dedicated in order to achieve academic potential with pupils. Thanks again Ihsanur for the hard work you do.

Smita Paneru S
I can’t recommend Smita enough! After struggling and retaking my English Language exam twice before she’s the only tutor who has truly managed to teach me in a way that makes everything click. She explains things clearly and in a way that actually makes sense. Smita never made me feel judged for needing extra help. She is an genuinly an incredible tutor who genuinely cares about her students’ progress. I honestly wish I’d found her sooner! I can’t thank her enough for helping me. :)

Flora I
Flora has been helping Isla prepare for her English Literature and English Language GCSE exams. From the first lesson, Flora “clicked” with Isla and quickly understood her needs. She made Isla feel comfortable and pinpointed areas for development and was so supportive. Isla felt at ease and could ask questions knowing that the necessary time would be taken to help her understand. Flora was incredibly accommodating, adjusting lesson times and dates as needed. She was also very responsive to messages and promptly returned marked work, going above and beyond to support us. Isla’s work was annotated and marked, providing valuable feedback and areas for future focus, which has been invaluable. Flora’s passion for the subject shone through, thank you so much Flora!

In just a few weeks, my daughter’s confidence in both English and maths has grown so much thanks to Ria.
She's feeling much more prepared for her upcoming GCSEs.
Ria is super easy to communicate with, really flexible, and her lessons are always well-organised and focused.
She’s been such a great support — we’d definitely recommend her!

Brilliant English Language tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child is aiming for a top sixth form in the Redbridge area. Can a tutor help with the specific English Language grades needed?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target specific grades for entry into competitive sixth forms and colleges. They can focus on the exact exam techniques and curriculum knowledge required to help your child achieve their goals and secure their place.
How can I be sure an online tutor will understand the curriculum taught in my child's Ilford school?
Our tutors are experts in the UK's national curriculum and the main exam boards (like AQA, Edexcel, and OCR) used by schools across the country, including those in Ilford. During your first session, the tutor will chat with your child about their specific topics and exam board to ensure all lessons are perfectly aligned with what they're learning in school.
How does online tutoring actually work? Is it as good as meeting in person?
Online tutoring is just as effective, and often more convenient! Lessons happen via video call, using an interactive whiteboard that both tutor and student can write on. The main benefit is access; from your home in Ilford, your child can learn from a top specialist anywhere in the UK, not just someone local. Plus, no travel makes it much easier to fit around busy family lives.
What if my child doesn't click with the first English Language tutor we try?
Finding the right personality match is so important, and we completely understand that. If the first lesson isn't a perfect fit, please email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor. We're here to help you find someone your child genuinely connects with.
My child has lost all their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that, not just the grades?
Building confidence is at the heart of what we do. The one-to-one setting allows tutors to create a safe, encouraging space where your child feels comfortable asking questions. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, tutors help students see their own progress, which is the best confidence booster there is. Many of our 4,100+ reviews from parents mention this transformation.
How do you check your tutors are high quality and safe to work with?
We take safety and quality very seriously. We have a rigorous selection process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must provide a valid DBS check and professional references, and we interview them to ensure they have the expertise and passion to bring subjects to life for your child.
Can we find a tutor who can help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are specialists in both and would be delighted to help. You can check each tutor's profile to see the specific subjects they offer, and you can even filter your search to find tutors who cover both Language and Literature.
My child enjoys creative writing, not just exam prep. Do you offer tutoring for that too?
We do! Many of our English tutors are passionate writers themselves and love nurturing a student's creative spark. Whether it's for personal enjoyment, building a portfolio, or preparing for a competition, you can find a tutor to help your child develop their creative writing skills.
How much do online English Language tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications. Prices are clearly displayed on every tutor's profile, so you can easily find an experienced tutor who fits within your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's very simple. All your child needs is a laptop or desktop computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our platform works directly in your web browser, so there's no special software to download.
How many sessions a week would you recommend for GCSE English Language?
For most students, a one-hour session per week provides a great balance, allowing for consistent progress without feeling overwhelming. However, the tutor can discuss your child's specific goals with you and recommend a frequency that's right for them.
Besides English, what other subjects do you offer for students in Ilford?
We offer online tutoring in over 300 subjects! So whether your child needs help with maths or science, wants to learn a new language like French or Spanish, or even explore hobbies like coding or playing the guitar, we have expert tutors ready to help them learn from your home in Ilford.
