Why a Strong GCSE in English Opens Doors for Your Child
Getting a good grade in English is about so much more than just analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' or understanding poetry. It’s the foundation for clear thinking and confident communication – skills that are essential for almost any A-Level subject and future career. A strong pass in both English Language and Literature is often a non-negotiable requirement for sixth forms and is highly respected by universities, giving your child the best possible start on their chosen path.

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...

asked questions
See all FAQs
The standards at schools like Carlton le Willows Academy are high. Can I find a tutor experienced with this?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have extensive experience helping students meet and exceed the high expectations of academically focused schools. You can view each tutor's profile to see their qualifications, experience, and reviews from other parents to find the perfect match for your child.
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Nottingham. Can a tutor help with this goal?
Definitely. Our A-Level English tutors can provide targeted support to help your child achieve the grades needed for competitive university courses. They can also assist with developing the critical thinking and essay writing skills that are vital for university applications and study.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, check their qualifications and experience, and watch introductory videos to get a feel for their personality. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check, and we personally interview them to ensure they are knowledgeable, passionate, and brilliant communicators.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile with no hidden costs.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a stable internet connection.
My child has lost confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is very common, and it's where one-to-one tutoring really shines. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes. Most of our English tutors are experts in both areas of the GCSE and A-Level curriculum. You can confirm their specific experience on their profile or by sending them a direct message before you book.

Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored approach is designed for progress. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions, and 90% of our students improve by at least one grade with regular lessons.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have experts in all core subjects for 11+, GCSEs, and A-Levels, we also have talented tutors who can teach hobbies and life skills, from learning to play the guitar or piano to coding in Python.
What qualifications do your English tutors have?
Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds. Many are qualified teachers, examiners, or hold degrees in English from top universities. You can see all their specific qualifications and experience listed on their individual profiles.
