English is more than just another GCSE; it’s the foundation for clear communication and critical thinking. The ability to analyse a quote from 'Macbeth' or structure a persuasive argument builds skills that are essential for every other A-Level subject. Strong English grades open doors, helping your child create a compelling personal statement for university and giving them the confidence to succeed in higher education and their future career.

Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.

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.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

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
Can a tutor help my child with an application to a competitive university like Exeter or Plymouth?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students with their personal statements. They can help your child structure their ideas, write clearly and persuasively, and showcase their strengths, which is a key part of a strong university application.
My child attends Tavistock College. Can a tutor match the high standards expected there?
Yes. Our tutors are experienced in supporting students from a wide range of academic backgrounds. You can find a tutor who understands the curriculum and expectations at schools like Tavistock College and can help your child feel confident and prepared for their lessons and exams.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications on their profile. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to explain your child's goals before booking to make sure you find the perfect fit.
Are your tutors qualified to teach GCSE English?
Yes, many of our tutors are specialists in GCSE English Language and Literature. You can see their specific experience on their profiles. They can help your child with everything from analysing texts to improving their essay technique, potentially boosting their results by up to two grades.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their tutor?
We want to make sure you find the right match, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just 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?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget. All costs are clearly shown on the tutor profiles with no hidden fees.
How does online tutoring work?
It’s simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has features like a shared whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. It’s a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your own home.
Are all tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all of them must have a valid DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join us.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. As they see their skills and grades improve, their self-belief grows with them.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works best, especially for building momentum towards exams. However, it's completely flexible and you can arrange a schedule that works for your child with your chosen tutor.
How quickly will we see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. Consistent, tailored support makes a real difference, often helping students feel more positive about a subject within just a few lessons.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all core academic subjects, we also have brilliant tutors who teach a huge range of other skills. From learning to code in Python to playing the guitar or speaking a new language, there's something for everyone.
