Why a Strong English GCSE is Key for Their Future
English is more than just another subject; it's a foundation for your child's future success. The skills they develop – from analysing quotes in 'An Inspector Calls' to structuring a persuasive essay – are essential for almost every A-level and university course. A strong grade in English opens doors, giving them the best chance of securing a place at Bideford's sixth form or Petroc, and building a strong application for universities like Exeter or Plymouth.

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 attends Bideford College. Can a tutor help them specifically with their English GCSE curriculum?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in the national curriculum and can tailor their lessons to align with what your child is studying at Bideford College. You can discuss your child's specific needs, syllabus, and set texts directly with any tutor before you book.
We're hoping for a place at Petroc for A-levels. Can a tutor help ensure my child's English grade is strong enough?
Yes, a tutor can make a real difference. By focusing on strengthening your child's understanding and exam technique, they can help them secure the strong GCSE English grade needed for competitive A-level courses at colleges like Petroc.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and even send a message to a tutor before booking. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, as that relationship is key to building confidence.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors have had their ID verified and have undergone a background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor helps build their self-belief, which can transform how they feel about the subject.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Can tutoring really help improve my child's GCSE grade?
Yes, it can have a significant impact. The focused, one-to-one support helps close knowledge gaps and build exam skills. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we can help students improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without losing focus. However, you can discuss different session lengths with your tutor if needed.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can start very quickly. Many of our tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like and send them a message to arrange your first session at a time that works for your family.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we are experts in core academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have talented tutors who teach a wide range of other skills, including music, coding, and languages. You can browse all our subjects using the search bar.
