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.

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 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.
