Opening Doors for Your Child: Why English Matters
English isn't just about analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' or perfecting essay structure; it's the foundation for clear thinking and strong communication. A great grade in GCSE English is often a requirement for the most sought-after A-Level courses and is highly valued by competitive universities like Sheffield and Derby. It gives your child the skills they need to express themselves confidently, not just in their studies, but in their future career too.

22 students received their GCSE results this year - my biggest Y11 cohort yet, and with record success: 🎓 76% achieved top grades (7–9). 🍎 Every single student improved by at least one grade - and 80% jumped by two grades or more. ✏️ Four students were previously struggling at grade 3 - all passed, and two went on to secure a grade 6. 🏫 One student rose from a grade 4 at the end of Year 10 to a grade 9 at GCSE!

Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to Tupton Hall and wants to apply to Chesterfield College. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades needed for college entry. They can focus on the GCSE English curriculum, helping your child build the skills and confidence to secure a strong pass and open up their A-Level options.
We're hoping for a top university like Sheffield or Derby. How can an English tutor support this long-term goal?
A strong foundation in English is crucial for competitive university applications. A tutor can help your child develop advanced analytical and writing skills that go beyond the GCSE curriculum, preparing them for the demands of A-Levels and helping them craft a compelling personal statement when the time comes.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right personality match is so important. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents just like you. You can also message tutors before booking to ask about their experience with the GCSE curriculum or their approach to building confidence. It’s all about finding the best fit for your child.
My child's confidence in English is low. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. In a safe, supportive space, your child can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down tricky topics, helping to rebuild self-belief one lesson at a time.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £45 per hour. You can see each tutor's rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do you make sure your tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best tutors across the UK.
How do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child and their tutor to collaborate. All they need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find a weekly one-hour session works best, especially in the run-up to exams like GCSEs. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what's right for your child directly with your chosen tutor.
Is it just for core subjects like English, or can you help with other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas! From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding or even public speaking, you can find an expert to help your child explore their passions.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to ask questions or discuss focus areas. Many parents tell us they see a noticeable improvement in their child's confidence and class participation very quickly.
Do I need to provide materials for the lessons?
Not at all. Your tutor will prepare all the learning materials needed for each session, tailored to your child's specific goals and what they're currently studying in school. They can help with everything from homework and revision to exam technique.
