Why a Top English Grade is Vital for University and Beyond
GCSE English is more than just a qualification; it's the foundation for success in almost every other subject. The ability to analyse complex texts, structure a persuasive argument, and communicate clearly are skills that universities, especially Russell Group institutions, look for. Whether it's crafting a compelling personal statement for their UCAS application or writing essays at A-Level, strong English skills give your child a significant advantage, helping them secure their place at their chosen university.

Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic English Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

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 K
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.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a Russell Group university. Can a tutor help strengthen their application?
Absolutely. A top grade in GCSE English is a huge asset. Our tutors can help your child develop the critical analysis and essay-writing skills that top universities look for. This not only helps them achieve the grades they need but also prepares them for writing a standout personal statement for their UCAS application.
With Didcot's focus on science, how can a tutor ensure my child excels in English?
This is a common concern for parents in the area. A dedicated English tutor provides the focused, one-to-one attention that can be hard to find in a busy classroom. They can create a space purely for developing English skills, from literary analysis to creative writing, ensuring it gets the priority it deserves for a well-rounded and competitive university application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introduction videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals before booking. This helps you find someone your child will really connect with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. 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 much does online English tutoring cost in Didcot?
Our tutors set their own rates, which typically range from £25 to £50 per hour depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can easily find someone who fits your budget.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our tailored, one-to-one approach is designed for progress. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence, which is a fantastic foundation for academic improvement.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence, not just their grades?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins and overcoming challenges together can do wonders for their self-esteem.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
Sessions are tailored to your child. A lesson might start with reviewing homework, then move on to a specific topic they find tricky, like understanding Shakespearean language or structuring a comparative essay. Tutors use the interactive whiteboard to analyse texts and work through examples together.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn anything from coding and Python to playing the guitar or speaking Spanish.
How easy is it to schedule lessons?
It's very simple. You and your tutor can agree on a regular weekly slot, or you can book lessons one at a time, depending on what works for your family. Our platform makes it easy to see your tutor's availability and manage your schedule.
