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.

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 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.
