Why a Strong GCSE in English Opens Doors for Your Child
More than just a qualification, GCSE English gives your child essential communication and analytical skills for life. Mastering how to analyse a quote from 'Macbeth' or structure a persuasive argument isn't just about passing an exam; it's about developing the critical thinking needed for demanding A-Levels and university study. A high grade in English is often a requirement for the most academic courses, providing the foundation your child needs to succeed at college and 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
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grade needed for their A-Levels at Prior Pursglove College?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target specific grades. They can identify the exact areas your child needs to focus on to move from a grade 6 to a 7, 8 or 9, giving them the best possible chance of securing a place on their chosen A-Level courses.
My child hopes to go to a top university like Durham or York. How can an English tutor help now?
Building a strong academic foundation at GCSE is the first crucial step. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills that are essential for success at A-Level and are highly valued by competitive universities like Durham and York.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter tutors by their experience with the GCSE curriculum. You can even message tutors for free before booking to make sure they're a good fit for your child's personality and learning needs.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant to ensure they are knowledgeable and passionate about their subject. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How much does an online English tutor in Guisborough cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £15 to £35 per hour depending on their experience. This allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits within your family's budget.
What happens if we don't like the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit for your child. 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 can online tutoring help my child build confidence?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe, supportive space where there are no silly questions. Your child can go over topics at their own pace without the pressure of a classroom environment, which is often the key to unlocking their confidence and helping them speak up.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat and an interactive whiteboard. Tutors and students can share files, draw diagrams, and work through exam questions together, just as they would in person.
My child struggles with analysing poetry. Can a tutor help with that specific skill?
Yes, definitely. The great thing about one-to-one tutoring is that lessons are completely tailored. A tutor can spend entire sessions focusing on specific skills, like deconstructing unseen poetry or improving essay technique, until your child feels confident.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at a different pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding after just a few sessions. For grade improvement, regular weekly lessons are the most effective approach.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're experts in academic subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also have brilliant tutors who can teach skills like coding, playing the guitar, or even learning a new language. It's all about helping your child discover a love for learning.
How do we fit tutoring in around a busy school and social life?
The flexibility of online tutoring makes it much easier to manage. There's no travel time involved, and you can find tutors who offer sessions in the evenings or at weekends, allowing you to schedule lessons at a time that works for your whole family.
