GCSE English is more than just a qualification; it's the key that unlocks your child's future choices. Strong analytical and communication skills, honed by studying texts like 'Macbeth' or crafting persuasive arguments, are essential for A-Levels and beyond. A great grade in English doesn't just meet the entry requirements for top local colleges—it builds a foundation for success at competitive universities like the University of Manchester and gives them a head start in any career they choose.

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 apply to Bolton Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students meet the entry requirements for local colleges. They can focus on the specific GCSE skills and grades, like a Grade 5 or above, needed to secure a place on their desired A-Level courses.
We're aiming for a competitive university like the University of Manchester. How can tutoring support this long-term goal?
A strong GCSE in English is a vital first step. Our tutors help build a solid foundation in analytical and writing skills that are essential for A-Levels and university applications. They can work with your child to develop the deeper understanding needed to stand out.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important, and we want you to be completely happy. That's why we have a 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.
Do you only offer help with school subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get into coding, or even learn a new language, we have expert tutors who can help.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's experience on their profile. You can even message them for free before booking to make sure they're the right fit for your child's personality and learning needs.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, so your child and their tutor can work through texts, practice essays, and share feedback in real-time.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Celebrating small wins helps rebuild their self-belief, often leading to fantastic results.
How do you make sure tutors are safe to work with children?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor must pass an identity check and have a valid DBS background check. We also personally interview every tutor, and we only accept 1 in 8 who apply, ensuring you get the very best.
How long is a typical lesson, and how often should my child have one?
Lessons are usually an hour long. Most parents find that a regular weekly session works best to build momentum and keep up with schoolwork, but the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged with your tutor.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Definitely. Most of our English tutors are experts in both parts of the GCSE curriculum. They can help your child switch between analysing poetry for Literature and mastering persuasive writing for Language, covering all the bases.
What if our schedule changes week to week?
That's the great thing about online tutoring. Our tutors offer flexible scheduling, so you can find a time that works for your family. If you need to reschedule a lesson, you can arrange it directly with your tutor.
