Opening Doors for Your Child with GCSE English
English is more than just a subject; it's a fundamental skill for life. A strong pass in GCSE English doesn't just mean your child can analyse quotes from 'An Inspector Calls' – it shows they can communicate clearly, think critically, and understand complex ideas. It’s often the first qualification colleges and employers look for, acting as the key that unlocks the door to apprenticeships, further education, and a wider choice of careers.

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.

Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve their target grades. They can focus specifically on the skills and knowledge needed to secure a Grade 4 or higher, giving your child the best chance of meeting the entry requirements for their chosen course.
My child goes to Astrea Academy Dearne. Can a tutor work with their school curriculum?
Yes, definitely. Our tutors can tailor their lessons to the specific exam board, texts, and curriculum your child is following at school. This ensures the tutoring directly supports their classroom learning and prepares them effectively for their exams.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and what other parents have to say. Many tutors offer a free introductory chat, which is a great way to see if their teaching style is a good match for your child before you book a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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 do online lessons work?
Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and they must have a valid DBS check or equivalent. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is in safe, expert hands.

Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our website to find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. When they start to understand difficult topics and see their grades improve, their self-belief and confidence grow naturally.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one hour-long lesson per week, but this is completely flexible. You can discuss your child's goals with your chosen tutor to agree on a schedule that works best for your family.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have expert tutors for all core subjects, we also have tutors for a huge range of skills and hobbies, from learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish to coding in Python.
How quickly can we start?
You can get started very quickly. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message, and you could be having your first lesson within a couple of days.
Are the lessons recorded?
Yes, all lessons are recorded. This is a great feature for safeguarding and also means your child can re-watch their sessions anytime to help with revision or go over tricky topics again.
