Why Strong English Grades Are So Important for Their Future
English is more than just another GCSE; it’s a core skill that opens doors. The ability to analyse a quote from 'Macbeth' or write a persuasive essay isn't just for passing exams. It teaches your child how to communicate clearly and think critically – skills that are essential for getting into competitive colleges and universities, and for succeeding in any future career. A great grade in English shows they have the strong foundation needed for the next step.

The Right English Support, Tailored to Your Child's Needs
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a partnership with your child. By getting to know their unique learning style and where they need the most help, they create a supportive space to ask questions and build confidence. We know how important trust is, which is why all our tutors are background-checked, and we only accept 1 in every 8 who apply – so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's specific goals. If they're struggling to understand poetry or need help structuring their essays for top marks, their tutor will focus the session on exactly that. This personalised approach is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade. For those taking GCSEs, our support can help improve their results by up to two grades, giving them the best possible chance of securing a place at their chosen sixth form. Finding that support shouldn't add to your family's stress. With online tutoring, there are no extra journeys to worry about. You can find the perfect English tutor from anywhere in the UK and schedule lessons at times that fit around school, clubs, and family life. It’s simple, flexible, and designed to work for you.

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

asked questions

My child wants to apply to a competitive sixth form like Sir Christopher Hatton Academy. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors can help your child focus on the specific areas of the English curriculum needed to boost their grades. With tailored support, we can help improve GCSE results by up to two grades, giving them the strong academic profile needed for applications to competitive sixth forms.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Northampton or Leicester. How can an English tutor support this?
Strong English grades at GCSE and A-Level are often a key requirement for university courses. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills that universities look for, building a solid foundation for their application and future studies.
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 tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and level of study. You can use our search filters to find experienced tutors who fit your family's budget.
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.

Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
