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 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!

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 sixth form like Wyggeston and Queen Elizabeth I College. Can a tutor really help secure the specific English Language grade they need?
Absolutely. That's precisely where our tutors excel. They can work with your child to understand the specific grade requirements and focus on the skills needed to meet them, from mastering essay structure to refining analytical techniques. It’s about turning a target grade into an achievable plan.
We hope our child might one day study at the University of Leicester. How does GCSE tutoring support that long-term goal?
A strong GCSE in English Language is the foundation for the essay-based A-Levels that top universities, including the University of Leicester, value highly. Tutoring builds the critical thinking and writing skills that are essential not just for A-Levels, but for crafting a compelling personal statement and succeeding in degree-level study.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person for a subject like English Language?
Yes, and in many ways, it's even better. Our online classroom has interactive whiteboards perfect for planning essays together, and screen-sharing makes analysing texts simple and clear. Plus, your child can learn from a specialist in Shakespeare or poetry who might be hundreds of miles away – an expert you'd never find locally.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English Language tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for building confidence. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If for any reason you don't feel the tutor is the perfect match, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Are your tutors qualified to teach GCSE English Language?
Yes, very. We take pride in selecting the UK's best tutors, with only 1 in 8 applicants making it onto our platform. They are all subject specialists, have been interviewed by our team, and are background checked, so you can be sure your child is learning from a true professional.
It's my child's confidence that's the main issue. Can a tutor really help with that?
This is one of the biggest transformations we see. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not in class. When a tutor patiently works through a problem and celebrates their 'aha!' moments, it does wonders for their self-belief. It's often the key to unlocking their academic ability.
My child isn't at GCSE level yet. Do you have tutors for younger students in Leicester?
Of course. We have wonderful tutors who specialise in all stages of education, from building foundational reading and writing skills at Primary level to preparing for SATs and the 11+. You can find the right online support for your child's specific age and needs.
How do we find the right English Language tutor for our child from our home in Leicester?
It's straightforward. You can use our search filters to find tutors based on their experience with a specific exam board (like AQA or Edexcel), their teaching style, and their availability. You can read reviews from other parents and even message tutors beforehand to ensure they're the perfect fit for your child.
How flexible is scheduling? My child has a lot of after-school activities.
That’s a huge benefit of online tutoring. Our tutors offer sessions throughout the day, including evenings and weekends, so you can find a time that fits around football practice, music lessons, and family commitments. You're not restricted by local tutors' schedules.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback, and you can chat with them through our platform at any time. More importantly, you'll see the change yourself – in their homework, their test results, and most of all, in the new confidence they bring to the subject.
My child enjoys writing stories. Do you offer tutoring for creative writing too?
Yes! We believe in nurturing a love for all aspects of a subject. We have many tutors who are passionate about creative writing and can help your child develop their storytelling skills, whether for fun, for school projects, or for building a portfolio.
What technology do we need for online tutoring?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is browser-based, so there's no complicated software to install. Your child can be in their lesson in just a couple of clicks.
