Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is So Important
English isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for success across the board. Strong communication and analytical skills, like being able to confidently break down a quote from 'Macbeth' or structure a persuasive argument, are essential for A-Levels, university applications, and future careers. A great English grade shows colleges and employers that your child is a clear, critical thinker, ready for the next step.

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.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form like Hills Road. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors can help your child develop the skills and confidence to aim high. By focusing on specific areas of the English curriculum, they can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to two grades. This academic boost, combined with newfound confidence, can make a significant difference in their applications.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum at Sawtry Village Academy?
Our tutors are experienced with all major UK exam boards, like AQA and Edexcel, which are used by schools across the country, including Sawtry Village Academy. They can tailor their support to the specific texts and exam requirements your child is working on, ensuring the tutoring is perfectly aligned with their schoolwork.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It’s easy to find the perfect match. You can filter tutors by subject and level, read their detailed profiles, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs.
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 an online tutor help build my child's confidence?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe and encouraging space for your child to ask questions without the pressure of a classroom. When a tutor focuses entirely on them, they can celebrate small wins and overcome challenges together, which is a fantastic way to build self-belief.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked, and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child and their tutor can talk, write, and collaborate just as they would in person.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to modern languages and music theory.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to discuss how things are going. Seeing your child's confidence grow and their school results improve is often the clearest sign of success.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without being overwhelming. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor to suit your child's needs and concentration span.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
We understand that life can be busy. You can easily manage your lessons through the platform. We have a fair cancellation policy which typically requires 24 hours' notice, but you can see the specific details on your chosen tutor's profile.
