English isn't just another subject; it's a foundation for your child's future. The skills they build, from analysing a quote from 'Macbeth' to structuring a persuasive essay, are exactly what colleges and employers look for. A strong pass in GCSE English is often a requirement for A-Levels and many competitive apprenticeships, making it a crucial step on the path towards opportunities at universities like Sunderland or Durham.

Megan G
Megan is a wonderful tutor!
My son has really enjoyed the sessions with her and she adapts them to ensure he is fully understanding the teaching.
Megan provides an overview of feedback after to each session which allows me to understand what she has covered in the session and how to future support my son.
I cannot recommend her enough!!

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

He really enjoyed your lessons and said you made everything easy to understand and enjoyable.I truly appreciate the time, patience, and encouragement you gave him. It’s made a huge difference to his confidence and attitude toward English. Thanks again for all your help — we’re both very grateful!

Amazing tutor! I went from a weak grade 3 in English Language to being just one mark off a 6. Lessons were clear, supportive, and really boosted my confidence. I couldn’t have done it without their help and would 100% recommend.

Ameena tutored our son for an English language retake and he got an 8! He went up 3 grades from a 5. Her tutoring was focussed and responsive and she did it all over about 7 weeks. Could not ask for more. Thank you so much Ameena!

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to Easington Academy. Can a tutor help them with their specific GCSE English goals?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in the national curriculum and can tailor their support to what your child is studying at Easington Academy. They can help them build confidence with the set texts, improve their essay writing, and prepare effectively for their exams to aim for that strong pass.
We're hoping for our child to go to East Durham College. Can a tutor help them secure the English grade they need?
Yes, definitely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the GCSE grades needed for college entry. By focusing on your child's specific needs, a tutor can help them build the skills and confidence required to get the results they need for their chosen A-Level courses.
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. Many tutors offer a short introductory chat to see if they're a good fit for your child's personality and learning style before you book a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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 online English tutoring cost in Murton?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on a tutor's experience and level of expertise, so you can find someone who fits your family's budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a webcam and microphone.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is ID and background-checked before they can join our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
Can tutoring really help my child's confidence?
It really can. One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor helps your child work at their own pace in a low-pressure environment. As they start to understand difficult topics and see their skills improve, their confidence often grows, both in English and in other subjects too.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is different because it's tailored to your child. A session might involve working through a tricky piece of homework, practising exam-style questions, analysing a poem together on the interactive whiteboard, or planning an essay.
How long will my child need a tutor for?
This depends entirely on your child's goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly sessions throughout the school year. You and your tutor can work out a plan that's right for your child.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are handled securely and simply through the platform. You add your card details to your account, and you're only charged 24 hours after each lesson is complete. There are no complicated contracts or upfront fees.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something different?
While we have tutors for all core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also have experts who teach a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish to coding in Python, there's a tutor for almost anything your child is passionate about.
