Opening Doors for Your Child with GCSE English
English isn't just about understanding Macbeth or crafting a persuasive argument; it's a skill that underpins almost every other subject. A strong pass at GCSE is often a requirement for A-Level courses at colleges like Petroc, and it's essential for getting into competitive universities. Beyond exams, the ability to communicate clearly and think critically will give your child a huge advantage in their future career, no matter what path they choose.

English Tutor - Making learning memorable
* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

Holly E
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.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study at Petroc College. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for specific colleges. They can focus on the exact topics and exam techniques your child needs to master to achieve the GCSE English grade required for their chosen A-Level courses at Petroc College.
We're aiming for a place at the University of Exeter. Can an A-Level English tutor help with their application?
Yes, definitely. We have many specialist A-Level English tutors who are brilliant at supporting students with university applications. They can provide expert guidance on personal statements, help with wider reading, and build the analytical skills needed to excel at A-Level and impress competitive universities like Exeter.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend looking for a tutor whose experience matches your child's specific goals – whether that's help with GCSE exam technique or building foundational reading skills. You can also send messages to tutors before booking to make sure they're a good fit.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is identity and background checked with an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right fit for your child, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a supportive, patient environment, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. A great tutor will celebrate small wins, break down tricky topics like analysing poetry, and help your child see that they are capable of succeeding.
How much does an online English tutor in Tiverton cost?
The cost of an English tutor varies depending on their experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, with prices starting from £15 per hour. There are no hidden fees or contracts, so you have complete control over what you spend.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It’s designed to be engaging and easy to use. All your child needs is a computer or tablet with a microphone, camera, and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This really depends on your child's goals. Most families find that a regular weekly session works best for consistent progress and building momentum. However, you might want more frequent lessons in the run-up to an exam. It’s completely flexible and you can discuss the best approach with your tutor.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can message your tutor at any time to ask for updates. Many tutors provide regular feedback after each session, outlining what was covered and how your child is progressing. This partnership helps you stay informed and involved in your child's learning journey.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your tutor to fit your child's needs and schedule.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills like creative writing?
While we have experts in over 300 academic subjects, we also have tutors who can help your child develop other valuable skills. This includes everything from learning a musical instrument or a new language, to practical skills like coding, or even creative pursuits like creative writing and public speaking.
