English isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for so much of your child's future learning. Strong skills in analysing texts, like a tricky quote from 'Macbeth', and structuring clear arguments are vital for almost every A-Level. A strong pass in GCSE English can open up a world of options, from the right college courses to competitive applications for universities like Durham and Newcastle. It's why 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade, with our support proven to help raise GCSE results by up to two grades.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Consett Academy and worried about their GCSEs. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students with the specific demands of the GCSE English curriculum. They can provide targeted support on the set texts, exam board requirements, and techniques needed to help your child feel prepared and confident for their exams.
Can a tutor help my child with applications for New College Durham or universities like Newcastle?
Yes, many of our English tutors can provide excellent support for personal statements and application essays. They can help your child structure their thoughts, articulate their ambitions clearly, and polish their writing to make the best possible impression on admissions teams.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles, watch introduction videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking to find the perfect match for your family.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed and must provide a valid DBS background check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from a trusted expert.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, with no hidden costs or subscriptions. You have complete control over what you spend.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, this is one of the most important things a tutor can do. A great tutor provides a patient and encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Rebuilding that self-belief is often the first step to seeing their grades improve.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is tailored to your child's needs. A session might focus on planning a 'Jekyll and Hyde' essay, practising exam timings for a language paper, or breaking down a difficult poem. The tutor will work at your child's pace, ensuring they understand each topic before moving on.
How long will it take to see an improvement?
Every child learns differently, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions, which is the foundation for better grades. Our data shows 90% of students improve by at least one grade.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have thousands of expert academic tutors, we also offer support in a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to mastering coding with Python, there's a tutor for almost any goal.
How do I book a lesson?
Once you've found a tutor you like, you can send them a message to discuss your child's needs. When you're ready, you can book and pay for your first session securely through their profile. It's that easy to get started.
