Why a Strong GCSE in English Opens Doors for Your Child
English is more than just a subject; it's the foundation for future success.

It's why our focused GCSE support can help students improve their final grade by up to two grades, giving them the best possible start for their next chapter.

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 attends The Sir John Colfox Academy. Can a tutor help them secure a top grade for college applications?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and understand what's needed to achieve a grade 7 or above. They can work with your child on specific areas, from exam technique to understanding marking criteria, to help strengthen their applications for competitive local sixth forms and colleges.
We're hoping for a place at a university like Exeter or Bristol. How can an English tutor help with that long-term goal?
A strong foundation in English is critical for success at top universities, especially in essay-based subjects. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical, critical thinking, and writing skills that admissions tutors at universities like Exeter and Bristol look for, starting with securing excellent GCSE grades.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about the right fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs. Finding someone your child connects with is the first step towards building their confidence and helping them learn.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. 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 cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be completely confident in their quality and professionalism.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. A tutor can go over topics at your child's pace until things 'click', helping them feel much more capable and self-assured.
Can we get help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, most of our English tutors are experienced in teaching both GCSE English Language and Literature. You can confirm this on their profile or by sending them a quick message to discuss your child's specific requirements for each subject.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to help you stay informed about your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going and see the improvements in your child's schoolwork and confidence.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The most common session length is one hour, which gives enough time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths with your tutor to best suit your child's needs and concentration span.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning an instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding.
