Why a Strong English Grade Matters for Their Future
English is more than just a subject; it's a foundation for success. The ability to analyse texts, structure a compelling argument, and communicate clearly are skills that universities and employers value highly. Securing a Grade 5 or above in GCSE English is often essential for your child to access the A-Level courses they want, strengthening their applications to competitive universities like Exeter or Bristol and setting them up for their future career.

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 K
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.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at West Somerset College. Can a tutor help them aim for a Grade 5 or higher in GCSE English?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target specific grades. They can identify the exact areas your child needs to work on to move up a grade boundary, whether it's exam technique, essay writing, or understanding the marking criteria to secure that crucial Grade 5 or higher.
We're hoping for a place at a university like Exeter or Bristol. Can a tutor help?
Yes. Many of our English tutors specialise in A-Level support and have experience helping students with university applications. They can assist with everything from mastering A-Level texts to providing feedback on personal statements, helping your child present the strongest possible application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This means you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors qualified to teach GCSE and A-Level English?
Yes. Our tutors are subject-matter experts, and many are qualified teachers or hold degrees in English. You can view each tutor's full qualifications and experience on their profile to find the perfect specialist for your child's level of study.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our UK-based tutors has passed an enhanced background check before they can teach on our platform.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy to ask in class. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps them see their own progress, which is a huge confidence booster.
What happens in a typical one-hour English lesson?
A typical lesson starts with the tutor checking in on your child's progress and goals. They'll then work through specific topics your child is studying at school, like analysing a poem or planning an essay, using the interactive whiteboard. The session is always focused on your child's individual needs.
How quickly will we see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed for progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Consistent lessons are the key to building skills and improving grades over time.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects! While we have experts in core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, you can also find tutors for modern languages, musical instruments like guitar, and even skills like coding.
