Gearoid C
Gearoid supported my son with GCSE English during a key transition period in Year 11. My son had moved schools and was adjusting to a different GCSE specification, which had left noticeable gaps in his knowledge. Gearoid helped him bridge those gaps methodically and clarified the expectations of the exam board.
From the very first session, there was a shift in confidence. My son came out saying, “So I’m not stupid.” Over time, that developed into him saying he “felt clever.” For a student who can struggle with processing speed and exam anxiety, this was a significant and meaningful change.
Gearoid is calm, professional and thoughtful in his approach. He communicates clearly, is reliable, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. I am grateful for the role he played in rebuilding both understanding and belief.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for the 11+ in Bedfordshire. Can I find a tutor with specific experience?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students prepare for the 11+ exam, focusing on key areas like comprehension, grammar, and verbal reasoning. You can view their profiles and message them directly to discuss your child's needs before booking.
We're aiming for a place at Luton Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help with the GCSE English grades needed for entry?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors are very familiar with the GCSE curriculum and the grade requirements for popular colleges. They can work with your child to target the specific skills needed to improve their English Language and Literature grades, helping them feel prepared and confident in their college applications.
What happens if we don’t click with the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals—whether it's help with algebra or analysing poetry—to see who feels like the best match before you book.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. You can filter your search by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Can tutoring help improve my child's GCSE English grade?
Yes, we see fantastic results. In fact, focused one-to-one support can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to two grades. Our tutors work on a combination of subject knowledge, exam technique, and confidence to help your child achieve their best.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence is often the biggest hurdle. A one-to-one tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down tricky topics and celebrating small wins, tutors help your child see that they *can* succeed, which makes a huge difference to their attitude in school.
How do online lessons work?
Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents and past papers. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of your home.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check and has been personally interviewed by our team. We're very selective—we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply—so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something like creative writing or public speaking?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the school curriculum! You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar, to coding in Python, or even developing skills like public speaking. It's a great way for your child to explore a passion or learn a new hobby.
How often should my child have a tutoring session?
Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress. This gives your child time to practise what they've learned between lessons. You can easily arrange a schedule that works for you directly with your tutor.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most tutoring sessions are one hour long. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. However, you can always discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration.
