Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

He really enjoyed your lessons and said you made everything easy to understand and enjoyable.I truly appreciate the time, patience, and encouragement you gave him. It’s made a huge difference to his confidence and attitude toward English. Thanks again for all your help — we’re both very grateful!

Amazing tutor! I went from a weak grade 3 in English Language to being just one mark off a 6. Lessons were clear, supportive, and really boosted my confidence. I couldn’t have done it without their help and would 100% recommend.

Ameena tutored our son for an English language retake and he got an 8! He went up 3 grades from a 5. Her tutoring was focussed and responsive and she did it all over about 7 weeks. Could not ask for more. Thank you so much Ameena!

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child has their heart set on Ashton Sixth Form or Xaverian. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are very experienced with the GCSE curriculum and know what colleges are looking for. They can help your child target the specific skills needed to improve their grade and strengthen their application.
We're thinking ahead to university. How can an English tutor help now?
That's a great way to think. The analytical and essay-writing skills your child develops for GCSE English are the foundation for A-Levels and university study. A tutor can help them build these core skills, which will be invaluable when applying to demanding institutions like the University of Manchester or Manchester Metropolitan.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child in Denton?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors offer a short introductory chat so you can see if they're a good fit for your child's personality and learning style before booking a lesson.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can set your own budget and filter your search to find a great tutor in your price range. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to help you see how your child is doing. You'll be able to see their confidence grow as they tackle tricky topics, and this is often reflected in their schoolwork and test results. You can message your tutor at any time to discuss progress.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom, which features a whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing. A tutor might work with your child on analysing a poem, planning an essay, or practising exam techniques – every session is tailored to what your child needs most.
How can a tutor help my child if they lack confidence in English?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help build your child's self-belief step by step.
How many lessons will my child need?
It really depends on your child's individual goals. Some students need a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others benefit from weekly lessons throughout the school year. You can discuss this with your tutor to create a plan that works for you.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can join our platform.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or music?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! Beyond core academic subjects, your child can learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language. It's a great way to support their hobbies and personal development too.
My child finds analysing texts like 'An Inspector Calls' really difficult. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, definitely. This is a common area where students need extra support. A tutor can teach them simple, effective techniques for analysing quotes, understanding themes, and structuring their thoughts into a high-scoring essay.
