Why a Strong English Grade is Key for Your Child's Future
More than just a core subject, English is the foundation for clear thinking and confident communication. It's the skill that helps your child analyse a tricky quote in 'Macbeth', structure a persuasive essay, and articulate their ideas clearly. These are the abilities that will help them secure a place on a competitive A-Level course and are essential for success in higher education, whether they dream of studying at Falmouth University or beyond.

Holly E
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.

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 hopes to study at Truro and Penwith College. Can a tutor help them get the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many parents in Falmouth share this goal. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the grades needed for competitive post-16 courses. They can focus specifically on the GCSE curriculum, helping your child build confidence in key areas to meet the entry requirements.
With Falmouth and Exeter universities nearby, can a tutor help my child build a strong English foundation for a future degree?
Yes, definitely. A tutor can help your child develop the critical thinking, analytical, and essay-writing skills that are essential for university-level study. Building these strong foundations now can make a huge difference to their future academic success.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect fit. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter tutors by experience and price. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking your first session.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so you can find someone who fits your budget. Prices are displayed clearly on each tutor's profile, making it simple and transparent to see the cost per hour before you book.
How does online tutoring actually work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It’s a secure and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
What is the First Lesson Guarantee?
We want you to be completely happy with your choice of tutor. Our First Lesson Guarantee means that if you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Yes. One of the greatest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is rebuilding confidence. Our tutors create a patient and encouraging environment where your child can learn at their own pace, helping them rediscover their enjoyment of the subject.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback to keep you in the loop. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss your child's progress and ask any questions you might have. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that one session per week is a great way to build momentum and see consistent progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child with your chosen tutor.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life happens! You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson through the platform. Tutors have their own cancellation policies (usually 12 or 24 hours' notice), which are clearly displayed on their profiles.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills! From learning to play the guitar or speaking Spanish, to coding in Python, there's a talented tutor for almost any interest your child wants to explore.
