A strong pass isn't just a grade – it's a passport to their next step.

John H
Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Roy is doing a great job helping my son prepare for his GCSE English exam. He has only had a few lessons with Roy, but I can already see that he is more confident and enjoying him lessons, which is wonderful. Thanks.

Gearoid C
Gearoid supported my son with GCSE English during a key transition period in Year 11. My son had moved schools and was adjusting to a different GCSE specification, which had left noticeable gaps in his knowledge. Gearoid helped him bridge those gaps methodically and clarified the expectations of the exam board.
From the very first session, there was a shift in confidence. My son came out saying, “So I’m not stupid.” Over time, that developed into him saying he “felt clever.” For a student who can struggle with processing speed and exam anxiety, this was a significant and meaningful change.
Gearoid is calm, professional and thoughtful in his approach. He communicates clearly, is reliable, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. I am grateful for the role he played in rebuilding both understanding and belief.

Flora is the best teacher that has ever taught my daughters. They even said they wish their English teacher at school were like Flora — which I think says everything. 😊 She is so patient, encouraging, and creates a positive atmosphere. It makes a real difference, and we truly appreciate her work.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for Coleg Gwent?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific college entry requirements. They can focus on the exact skills and exam techniques needed to secure that crucial Grade 4 or above in GCSE English.
Are the tutors familiar with the WJEC syllabus used in Welsh schools?
Yes. When you search, you can filter for tutors with specific experience in the WJEC syllabus. This ensures your child is learning exactly what they need for their exams in Wales, covering the right texts and assessment objectives.
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 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 do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience on their profile. You can also send them a message before booking to discuss your child's needs and make sure they're a great match.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor can create a safe and encouraging space for your child. They'll break down difficult topics into smaller, manageable steps and celebrate their progress along the way, helping them to feel capable and positive about the subject again.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. You can find a range of experienced tutors to suit your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video call, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes, and the ability to upload documents like essays or past papers. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors safe to work with my child?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process – we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must pass an ID check and have a valid DBS certificate (or equivalent background check) before they can teach on our platform.
How many lessons will my child need?
Every child is different, so there's no set number. Some students need a few sessions to work on a specific topic, while others benefit from regular weekly support. You can discuss a plan with your chosen tutor, and there's no minimum commitment.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experts in both and can support your child across the full GCSE qualification. You can check their profile or send them a message to confirm they cover the specific areas your child needs help with.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's development. They will work with you and your child to set clear goals from the start, so you can easily see the progress they are making towards achieving them.
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 wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get into coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor for them on Tutorful.
