How GCSE English Paves the Way for Future Success
More than just another subject, English is a core qualification that employers and universities look for. It teaches your child essential life skills – from understanding how to structure a persuasive argument to analysing the language in a Shakespeare play like 'Macbeth'. These abilities are vital not just for essays, but for building strong applications for college, university, and the world of work. A good grade here truly keeps their options open.

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...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Driffield School. Can a tutor help them achieve the grades needed to keep pace with students in Beverley?
Absolutely. It's a common concern for parents. A tutor can provide that focused, one-to-one attention to target specific areas of the English curriculum your child finds difficult, helping them build the skills and confidence to achieve the strong GCSE grades they're capable of.
We're aiming for a competitive course at the University of York or Hull. Can a tutor help secure the required English grade?
Yes, our tutors are very experienced in helping students achieve specific grade requirements for university entry. They can work with your child on exam technique, essay structure, and textual analysis to help them secure that crucial grade 5, 6, or higher in GCSE English.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask questions before booking. It’s a great way to find someone whose teaching style and personality will be a good fit for your child.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, with prices starting from as little as £15 per hour. The price is based on their experience and qualifications, so you can easily find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit 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 can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is interviewed, background-checked with an enhanced DBS check, and has their ID and qualifications verified. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
My child has lost confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A private tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they can rebuild that self-belief, step by step.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
Every lesson is different because it's tailored to your child. A session might involve working through a tricky piece of homework, practising exam questions, analysing a poem together, or planning the structure of a 'Macbeth' essay on the interactive whiteboard.
How long will my child need tutoring for?
It really depends on your child's goals. Some students just need a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others benefit from weekly support throughout the school year. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?
While we have tutors for all core academic subjects, we also have experts who can teach skills like coding, playing the guitar, learning a new language, and even public speaking. It's about learning what your child is passionate about.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are simple and secure. You add your card details to your account, and payment is taken automatically 24 hours after each lesson is completed. There are no sign-up fees or contracts to worry about.
