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.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

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.
