Opening Doors: Why a Strong English GCSE Matters
A top grade in English is more than just a pass; it's a key that unlocks your child's future. It's often a requirement for the most sought-after A-Level courses at colleges like Peter Symonds, which in turn strengthens applications to respected universities such as Southampton and Winchester. Strong English skills, from analysing quotes in 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive argument, are skills for life. They build your child's ability to communicate clearly and think critically, giving them a real advantage in their future studies and career.

Hello and welcome! My name is Raquel and I look forward to meeting you soon.

Ready to sit in class with fellow classmates, ready to take home homework, planning and organising assignments.

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.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Peter Symonds College. Can a tutor help them get the necessary GCSE English grades?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in preparing students for their GCSEs with specific entry requirements in mind. They can focus on the exact areas of the English curriculum your child needs to strengthen, helping them build the skills and confidence to aim for the top grades required by competitive sixth forms like Peter Symonds.
We're aiming for a top university like Southampton or Winchester. How does English tutoring support this long-term goal?
Strong GCSE and A-Level grades are crucial for applications to respected universities. An English tutor helps build the foundational skills in critical thinking, analysis, and communication that are essential for success not just at GCSE, but through A-Levels and into degree-level study. This long-term support can make a significant difference to your child's university application.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the right match 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents just like you. Many tutors have experience with specific exam boards (like AQA or Edexcel) or texts. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough vetting process, including an identity check and a DBS background check, before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting just 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden costs or sign-up fees.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, a tutor can help rebuild their self-esteem and foster a more positive attitude towards learning.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, allowing your child and their tutor to focus on learning.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, definitely. Most English tutors are experienced in teaching both subjects and can tailor lessons to cover everything your child needs, from analysing poetry and novels for Literature to mastering persuasive writing for Language.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child is interested in learning coding, playing the guitar, or picking up a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their passions.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's work?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our experience shows that consistent, personalised support makes a real difference. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions, and 90% of our students achieve a higher grade.
What happens if we need to reschedule a lesson?
Life can be busy, and we understand that plans change. You can easily reschedule or cancel a lesson through your Tutorful account. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice.
