It's completely understandable to worry about your child's future, especially when you know how much depends on their GCSE English results.

Finding the right one-to-one English tutor is about more than just revision; it's about giving your child a dedicated expert who can build their confidence, target specific areas of weakness, and help them secure the grades they need to open doors to the A-Levels and universities they're dreaming of.

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!

Since starting lessons with Holly, Anissa’s confidence has grown noticeably, and she feels much more comfortable and positive in her learning. She really enjoys the sessions and speaks very warmly about Holly — she genuinely loves learning with her.

He quickly built a strong rapport with my daughter, putting her at ease, and she is really enjoying the lessons and getting a lot out of them.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Richard Huish College. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many parents in Bridgwater share this goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students move beyond a pass to secure the higher grades (6, 7, and above) that make an application to a competitive sixth form like Richard Huish stand out. They can focus specifically on the skills needed to meet and exceed those entry requirements.
We're hoping for a top university like Bristol or Exeter. How does English tutoring help with that?
A strong GCSE and A-Level in English is often a prerequisite for top universities. Tutors help your child develop the critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills that admissions teams at places like Bristol and Exeter value highly. Building a strong foundation now is a direct investment in their future university application.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
It's all about the right fit. You can read tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step to success.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right student-tutor relationship is key. That's why we have a 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 online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £25 per hour. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can easily filter by price on our website to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
My child has lost confidence in English. Can a tutor really help?
Yes, this is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. They celebrate small wins and build confidence step-by-step, which often leads to a much more positive attitude towards the subject.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can join our platform. We accept just 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within just a few weeks. Our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tuition.
Can a tutor help my child move from a grade 4 to a 6 in GCSE English?
Definitely. This is a very common goal. A tutor can identify the specific gaps in knowledge or exam technique that are holding your child back. They will create a tailored plan to strengthen those areas, helping your child secure the higher grade they're capable of.
What happens in a typical one-hour English lesson?
The tutor will usually start by checking in on how your child is feeling about the subject and any recent schoolwork. The main part of the lesson will focus on a pre-agreed topic, whether it's analysing a poem, planning an essay, or practising grammar. It's always interactive and tailored to your child's needs.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer expert support for core academic subjects, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills and hobbies. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to mastering coding with Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
