Why a Strong GCSE English Grade Opens Doors
GCSE English isn't just another subject; it’s the key that unlocks your child's future choices. A strong grade is often a requirement for the most sought-after A-Level courses, which in turn opens up pathways to top universities. We know that getting expert help can boost your child's GCSE results by up to two grades. Beyond exams, the ability to analyse a quote from 'An Inspector Calls' or construct a persuasive argument gives them essential skills for any career. It’s why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.

Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

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 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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to New College Swindon. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for popular sixth forms and colleges. They can focus on the specific GCSE grades your child needs to secure their place and study the A-Levels they want.
We're aiming for A-Levels that will lead to a place at the University of Bristol. Can a tutor help my child get the right GCSE grade?
Yes. A strong GCSE English grade is often a prerequisite for the A-Levels needed for competitive university courses. Our tutors can help your child target the specific grade they need, giving them the best possible foundation for their future applications.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's goals. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We are also very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How does online tutoring work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, so it's just like being in the same room. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help my child build confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. This personal support often leads to a huge boost in self-belief that extends beyond their English lessons.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's English results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. Consistent weekly lessons are the best way to build momentum and see real, lasting progress.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have experts in all core academic subjects, we also offer tutoring in a wide range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language, we have a tutor who can help.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child. A tutor might start by reviewing homework, then move on to a specific topic your child is struggling with, like analysing a poem or planning an essay. The session is interactive, with your child actively participating throughout.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is ideal for making steady progress. This allows enough time to cover topics in depth without overwhelming your child. You can easily arrange a schedule that works for you directly with your chosen tutor.
