More Than Just a Grade: Why English is Key to Their Next Steps
A strong GCSE English qualification is a passport to your child’s future. It’s the key that unlocks not only A-Level English, but a whole range of other essay-based subjects. The skills they develop – from analysing a quote in 'Macbeth' to building a compelling argument – are exactly what respected universities like the University of Essex and top London colleges look for. It gives them the confidence and clarity to communicate their ideas, a skill they'll use for the rest of their lives.

Finding the Right Support to Help Your Child Thrive in English
We believe the best learning happens when a student feels understood. That’s why we’re so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor is an expert in their field, is background-checked, and knows how to connect with young people. They’ll take the time to get to know your child’s learning style, strengths, and the areas they find tricky, creating a supportive partnership you can trust. Every one-to-one lesson is built around your child. If they’re struggling with poetry analysis or need to sharpen their creative writing skills for an upcoming assessment, their tutor will create a session just for that. This focused attention is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade – it’s a space where they can learn at their own pace and see real, tangible progress. Arranging support for your child shouldn’t add to your to-do list. With Tutorful, you can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and book lessons at times that suit your family’s schedule. Because it’s all online, there’s no travel involved – just expert, engaging English lessons from the comfort of your own home.

Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

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 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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at The Ongar Academy. Can a tutor help them specifically with the GCSE English curriculum?
Absolutely. Our tutors are very familiar with the AQA, Edexcel, and other exam board specifications used in schools like The Ongar Academy. They can help your child get to grips with set texts, prepare for unseen poetry, and perfect their exam technique to hit those crucial grade 6 and 7 boundaries.
We're considering applications for sixth forms in Chelmsford and Brentwood. Can a tutor help build a competitive profile?
Yes, they can. A strong GCSE English grade is a huge asset on any application. A tutor can help your child develop the analytical and communication skills that will make them stand out, not just in their exams but also in potential interviews or personal statements for those competitive sixth-form places.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find a great match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from hundreds of other parents, and even message tutors for free before booking. Look for someone whose experience matches your child's needs, whether that's GCSE exam prep or building foundational confidence.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right relationship is key to learning. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child improve their GCSE grade?
Our tutors provide focused, one-to-one support that can make a significant difference. By identifying and working on specific areas of weakness, they help students build both skills and confidence. In fact, our data shows we can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find an option that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay as you go for the lessons you book.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to progress. In a one-to-one lesson, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. This personalised attention and positive reinforcement from a supportive tutor can work wonders for their self-esteem.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically one hour long, and most families find that one session a week is a great rhythm for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child and your family directly with your chosen tutor.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. You can message your tutor at any time to get feedback on how your child is doing. Many tutors provide regular updates after each session, so you'll always be in the loop about the progress they're making.
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 a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to coding in Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
