Why a Strong English GCSE Opens Doors For Your Child
English isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for so much of your child's future. A grade 5 or above is often the key that unlocks the door to their chosen A-Level courses, apprenticeships, and even a place at a brilliant local university like the University of Sheffield. The skills they learn, from analysing quotes in 'An Inspector Calls' to crafting a compelling argument in an essay, are skills for life. We know how important this is, which is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, with many GCSE students improving by up to two grades.

The Right English Support, Tailored to Your Child
Finding the right person to support your child is our top priority. That's why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring every tutor is not only an expert in their subject but is also background-checked and brilliant at what they do. They'll take the time to get to know your child, understand their learning style, and create a supportive space where asking questions feels easy. Imagine a lesson focused entirely on what your child needs most. If they're struggling with Shakespearean language in 'Macbeth' or need to nail their creative writing skills for the English Language paper, that's what the session will cover. This targeted approach helps close knowledge gaps quickly, turning 'I can't do this' into 'I understand'. Because the lessons are online, you can find the perfect tutor for your child without being limited by location. It's simple to fit sessions around your family's busy schedule, whether it's after school or on a weekend, giving your child expert help right from the comfort of your home in Eckington.

John has been an excellent English IGCSE tutor. He is very organised, enthusiastic and communicates clearly. He quickly built a strong rapport with my daughter, putting her at ease, and she is really enjoying the lessons and getting a lot out of them. John is helping her to build confidence, structure exam answers and prepare effectively for revision, and I feel the tutoring will be very beneficial in the run-up to her exams.

Ben D
Ben has been a great tutor for my 16 year old doing his English GCSEs. Ben's tuition has improved my son's grade from a 4 up to between a 5-8, depending on the topic, in just a few months. He has also hugely improved his confidence, and his writing ability in other subjects such as History has improved as well. Ben has a relaxed, respectful and friendly approach that my son has really gotten on with, and he is enjoying feeling more confident for his English Language and Literature exams this year. I highly recommend Ben for your child's tuition.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child goes to Eckington School. Can a tutor help them with their specific GCSE English curriculum?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced with the main UK exam boards like AQA and Edexcel. They can tailor lessons to the specific texts and requirements of your child's curriculum at Eckington School, ensuring the support they receive is directly relevant to their classwork and exams.
We're hoping my child can go on to Chesterfield College or apply to the University of Sheffield. Can a tutor help?
Yes, a tutor can be a great help. As well as securing the necessary GCSE grades, a tutor can help your child develop the independent study skills and deeper subject knowledge needed for A-Levels at college. For university applications, they can even offer support with personal statements.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send messages to tutors before booking. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, as a positive relationship is key to building their confidence and helping them learn.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that finding the right fit is essential. 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?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our highest priority. Every UK-based tutor undergoes a thorough background check. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to join our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence?
Definitely. For many children, a lack of confidence is the biggest barrier to learning. One-to-one tuition provides a safe, encouraging space for them to ask questions without fear of getting it wrong. Celebrating small wins in each lesson can make a huge difference to their self-esteem.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring. The personalised attention helps them make progress much faster than they might in a busy classroom.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
A tutor will usually start by checking in on how your child is getting on at school and what they'd like to focus on. The lesson will be tailored to their needs, whether it's working through a specific poem, planning an essay, or practising grammar exercises on the interactive whiteboard.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we have experts for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for music, languages, coding, and a wide range of other hobbies and skills.
How flexible are the lesson times?
Very flexible. You can arrange lessons for any time that suits your family, including evenings and weekends. Because everything is online, you save on travel time, making it much easier to fit extra support into a packed week.
