Why a Strong GCSE English Grade Matters for Their Future
English is more than just a subject; it's the foundation for success in all others. The ability to analyse a complex text in 'An Inspector Calls', articulate a persuasive argument, or structure a clear essay are skills that universities and employers value highly. A strong pass in GCSE English doesn't just meet a requirement—it gives your child the communication and critical thinking skills they'll need for competitive A-Levels, degrees at Russell Group universities, and their future career.

Beth D
Creative and targeted English tutor
Hello! I have two years of private tutoring experience and I’m a friendly, enthusiastic tutor wanting to help students achieve the best grades possible. I use a personalised approach in my teaching methods as no two students are the same and if I find that something isn’t working for any individual I will always change my approach to find an understanding, whether that be incorporating drawings and visual aids or providing every day examples. I think tutoring can be fun and enjoyable with the right person for you behind the screen! I like to make my lessons interactive rather than a lecture sty...

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 attends a high-achieving school in Chertsey. Can a tutor help them aim for top GCSE grades (7-9)?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students target the highest grades. They have a deep understanding of the exam specifications and can teach the specific analytical and writing skills needed to help your child move from a good grade to a great one.
We're hoping for a place at a Russell Group university or Royal Holloway. How can an English tutor help?
A strong English A-Level is often a key requirement for top universities. A tutor can help your child secure the GCSE grade they need to access the right A-Level courses. They also teach critical thinking and essay-writing skills that are essential for university applications and study.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter by experience and price. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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 do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked with an enhanced DBS check, and has their ID and qualifications verified. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors on our site by price to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the most powerful benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a patient, encouraging environment where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Rebuilding that self-belief is often the first step to seeing their grades improve.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs: video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. It's a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your own home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families opt for one lesson per week to build momentum and see consistent progress. However, the schedule is completely flexible and up to you. You can arrange lessons with your tutor at a frequency that suits your child's needs and your family's schedule.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
While we're experts in academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have talented tutors who teach a huge range of other skills! You can find tutors for everything from coding and music production to learning a new language or playing the guitar.
How quickly will we see an improvement in my child's work?
Every child learns at their own pace, but the personalised focus of one-to-one tutoring often leads to progress quickly. Many parents tell us they notice a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within the first few sessions.
How can I track my child's progress?
We encourage open communication. You can message your tutor at any time to ask for updates. Many tutors provide regular feedback on the topics covered and the progress your child is making towards their goals.
