Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is Key for Your Child's Future
GCSE English isn't just another subject; it's a core qualification that underpins almost every other A-Level and career path. The skills your child develops—from analysing a quote in 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive argument—are exactly what top colleges and universities like the University of Nottingham look for. A great grade in English Language and Literature gives them the best possible chance to pursue the A-Levels they're passionate about and keeps their future options wide open.

Josh L
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.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to Bilborough College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. That's a very common goal for parents we work with. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the grades needed for entry into popular sixth forms and colleges. They can focus specifically on the GCSE curriculum, exam technique, and confidence-building to help your child meet the entry requirements.
Are the tutors qualified to help with applications to competitive universities like the University of Nottingham?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience guiding students through the university application process. Beyond subject-specific help, they can offer support with personal statements and developing the analytical skills that top universities look for in their applicants.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Finding the right person is all about fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to make sure you find the perfect match.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their tutor?
We want to make sure your child feels comfortable and happy with their tutor. 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 prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. You can see the price clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find an experienced tutor who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child just needs a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed a background check before they can start teaching. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
How quickly can we expect to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our one-to-one approach is designed to make a real impact. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. For grades, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade level.
Can a tutor help my child feel more confident about English?
Definitely. Confidence is often the biggest hurdle. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions they might not ask in class. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help build self-belief that extends far beyond the subject itself.
What happens in a typical one-to-one English lesson?
A lesson is tailored to your child's needs. It could start with a quick review of the last session, then move on to tackling a specific area they find tricky, like understanding Shakespearean language or structuring an essay. The tutor will use the interactive whiteboard to work through examples together.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than English?
Yes, we do! We have expert tutors for over 300 subjects, from core academic subjects like Maths and Science to skills like learning the guitar, coding in Python, or even public speaking. You can find support for all of your child's interests on our platform.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payment is simple and secure. You add your card details to your account, and payment is taken automatically 24 hours after each completed lesson. You can view all your scheduled lessons and payment history right from your dashboard.
