Why a Strong GCSE English Grade Opens Doors
More than just a subject, a strong GCSE in English is a key that unlocks your child's future. It's the foundation for almost every A-Level course and university degree. The skills they develop, from analysing a quote from 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive argument in an essay, are skills for life. A good grade gives them the freedom to choose the path they want, whether that's at a top college or in their future career.

The Right Support to Build Your Child's English Confidence
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a real connection with your child. By understanding how your child learns best, they can tailor their approach, whether that means finding new ways to explain tricky grammar rules or building a framework for structuring essays. We carefully select our tutors—only 1 in 8 who apply are accepted—so you can be sure your child is learning from an experienced, background-checked expert. Imagine lessons focused entirely on what your child needs to work on. One week they might be breaking down the poetry of Carol Ann Duffy, and the next they could be practising exam techniques for their English Language paper. This focused attention is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, with many GCSE students improving by up to two grades. Finding the time for extra support can be tough. With our online lessons, you can connect with the perfect tutor from anywhere in the UK, right from your home in Crawley. There's no travel involved, and you can easily schedule sessions around school, clubs, and family life, giving your child the help they need without the hassle.

John has been an excellent English IGCSE tutor. He is very organised, enthusiastic and communicates clearly. He quickly built a strong rapport with my daughter, putting her at ease, and she is really enjoying the lessons and getting a lot out of them. John is helping her to build confidence, structure exam answers and prepare effectively for revision, and I feel the tutoring will be very beneficial in the run-up to her exams.

Ben has been a great tutor for my 16 year old doing his English GCSEs. Ben's tuition has improved my son's grade from a 4 up to between a 5-8, depending on the topic, in just a few months. He has also hugely improved his confidence, and his writing ability in other subjects such as History has improved as well. Ben has a relaxed, respectful and friendly approach that my son has really gotten on with, and he is enjoying feeling more confident for his English Language and Literature exams this year. I highly recommend Ben for your child's tuition.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to Collyer's in Horsham. Can a tutor help them achieve the necessary GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced in helping students aim for specific college entry requirements. They can focus on the exact skills and exam techniques your child needs to strengthen their application and feel confident about hitting the grades required for their chosen A-Level courses.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum taught in West Sussex schools?
Yes, many of our tutors have extensive experience with the national curriculum as it's taught across the UK, including in West Sussex. When you search, you can read tutor profiles to see their specific experience and even message them to ask about their familiarity with your child's school curriculum.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure it's the right fit for you and your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do you make sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID and qualifications verified. We also interview every tutor and are very selective – we only accept 1 in every 8 who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does an online English tutor in Crawley cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits within your family's budget.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
We make it easy. You can filter tutors by their experience, what they specialise in, and their availability. Reading their profiles and reviews from other parents is a great way to get a feel for their teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to ask any questions you have.
Can tutoring really help my child's confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits parents tell us about. The one-to-one attention from a supportive tutor helps your child ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in a busy classroom. This personalised support often leads to 'lightbulb moments' that build genuine confidence and a love for learning.
How do online lessons work? What technology do we need?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This really depends on your child's individual needs and goals. Most students have one lesson a week, as this provides consistency without being overwhelming. You can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor during your first session.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also see their improvement through their schoolwork and growing confidence. Many parents find the open communication with the tutor invaluable for understanding how to best support their child's learning at home.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Once you've found a tutor you like, you can view their availability on their calendar and book your first lesson straight away. Many tutors can offer a session within a few days.
Do you only offer academic subjects? What if my child wants to learn guitar or coding?
We offer tutoring in a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the purely academic! From learning to play the guitar or piano to getting started with coding languages like Python, you can find brilliant tutors to support your child's hobbies and passions too.
