Why Strong English Skills Open Doors for Your Child
A strong pass in GCSE English isn't just another box to tick; it's a key that unlocks your child's future choices. It's essential for getting into competitive sixth forms and is a non-negotiable for universities like Nottingham and Loughborough. More than that, the skills they build – from analysing quotes in 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive argument – are skills for life. They'll use them in every other subject, in their personal statements, and in their future career.

Personalised English Tutoring to Help Your Child Thrive
We believe the best results come from a real partnership. That's why we're so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. You can choose from our background-checked tutors, finding someone who not only understands the curriculum inside-out, but who also gets your child’s unique way of learning. It’s this personal connection that helps them feel understood and ready to learn. Every lesson is designed around your child. If they're struggling with poetry, their tutor can spend time breaking it down. If they need to sharpen their essay technique for English Language, the session will focus on that. This tailored approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, with many improving their GCSE results by up to two grades. It’s about making real, measurable progress in the areas that matter most. With our simple online platform, you can fit lessons around your busy family life in Ashbourne.

Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic English Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Siobhan L
Siobhan was excellent and I’m really pleased with how the first session went. She was really well prepared and explained things clearly throughout the lesson. She worked patiently with my son and made him feel at ease, which was great to see as he can be quite shy at first. She asked thoughtful questions and encouraged him to share his ideas, helping to build his confidence as the session went on. Overall, it was a very positive and engaging first lesson. Thanks Siobhan!

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends QEGS. Can a tutor help them meet the specific requirements for the sixth form?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific skills and grade boundaries your child needs to hit in both English Language and Literature to secure their place for A-Levels.
We're hoping for a place at a university like Nottingham or Loughborough. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes. A strong English grade is fundamental for applications to top universities. Tutors can not only help secure the necessary GCSE and A-Level grades but can also assist with skills crucial for university applications, such as writing a compelling personal statement.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send them a message before you book. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, who has specific experience in the area your child needs help with, whether that's GCSE exam technique or building confidence in their writing.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial 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 in Ashbourne cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but typically range from £25 to £45 per hour. All pricing is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an experienced 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 features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check before they can teach on 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, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest hurdle. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be embarrassed to ask in class. Tutors provide constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which can make a huge difference to how your child feels about the subject.
Can tutoring help with both GCSE English Language and English Literature?
Yes, definitely. Our English tutors are well-versed in both aspects of the GCSE curriculum. They can help your child switch between analysing poetry for Literature and mastering persuasive writing for Language, ensuring they feel prepared for both exams.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first lesson is usually about getting to know your child. The tutor will chat with them about their goals, what they find difficult, and what they enjoy about English. This helps the tutor understand their learning style so they can plan future lessons that are perfectly tailored to them.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at a different pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence within just a few lessons. Our data shows that 90% of students who have regular lessons improve by at least one grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we specialise in core academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also have tutors who can help your child explore other interests. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to public speaking and creative writing.
