Why a Strong GCSE in English Opens Doors for Your Child
English is more than just another subject; it's the foundation for clear communication and critical thinking. The skills your child develops while analysing a quote from 'Macbeth' or structuring a persuasive essay are the very same ones they’ll need for their A-Levels and for crafting a compelling personal statement for competitive universities like the University of Manchester. A good grade in English gives them the confidence and the qualification to take that next step.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child with the specific requirements for Ashton Sixth Form College?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for specific colleges. They can focus on the GCSE English Language or Literature skills your child needs to secure their place and feel prepared for A-Level study.
My child is aiming for a competitive university like the University of Manchester. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. Our English tutors can help build the strong analytical and writing skills that top universities look for. Beyond GCSEs, they can also provide support with A-Level English and even offer guidance on crafting a powerful personal statement for their university application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents to get a real feel for their personality and teaching style. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to find the perfect fit for your child.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, simply 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. We personally interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from the best.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on the tutors' profiles with no hidden costs.
How do online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and screen sharing. It's a simple and effective way for your child to learn from home, and all they need is a laptop or computer with a webcam and microphone.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's English 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. For GCSE students, our support can help improve their final result by up to two grades.
Can tutoring help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
Yes, this is one of the most common reasons parents come to us. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. Rebuilding that self-belief is often the first and most important step towards better grades.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely flexible and depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for an exam, while others have regular weekly sessions to build their skills over time. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
What if our schedule is really busy with school and clubs?
That's the great thing about online tutoring. You're not limited to tutors in your immediate area, so you have a much wider choice of available times. You can find a tutor who can fit lessons in whenever works for your family, whether it's after school, in the evening, or at the weekend.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we are experts in core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also have amazing tutors who teach practical and creative skills. You can find support for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to coding in Python or even public speaking.
