Secure Their Future: Find an Online English Tutor in Hedon
It's natural to feel a sense of pressure when your child is at Holderness Academy, thinking about the next big step. You want to know they have the best possible chance of securing a place at a brilliant college like Wyke or Wilberforce, but the entry requirements for top A-Level courses can feel daunting.
A strong English GCSE is often the key that unlocks those doors, and it’s completely understandable to worry that a weaker grade could limit their future choices. That's where one-to-one online English tutoring can make a real difference. It’s not just about grades; it’s about giving your child the dedicated support and confidence they need to succeed, right from your home in Hedon.

Opening Doors with English: From GCSEs to University
English isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for almost everything your child will go on to do. Whether they're analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' or building a persuasive argument in an essay, they're developing critical thinking and communication skills that are essential for A-Levels and beyond. These are the skills that colleges like Wyke and Wilberforce look for, and that universities from Hull to York value so highly. A strong English grade shows they can think clearly and express themselves well, setting them up for success no matter what path they choose.

The Right Support for Your Child's English Goals
We know every child learns differently. That’s why our tutors take the time to understand your child’s specific strengths and where they need a bit more help. They’ll build a genuine connection, creating a supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and tackling tricky topics, from poetry analysis to creative writing. Each lesson is planned around your child's individual goals. If they're struggling to structure essays for their English Language GCSE, the session will focus on that. If they need to get to grips with Shakespearean language for their Literature exam, that's what their tutor will cover. This targeted approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade – and for GCSEs, we can help boost results by up to 2 grades. Finding the right support shouldn't add more stress to your family's busy schedule. With online tutoring, you can connect with the best background-checked English tutors from across the UK without leaving home. Lessons can be scheduled for evenings or weekends, fitting easily around school, clubs, and family time in Hedon.

Friendly, enthusiastic English Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Megan G
Megan is a wonderful tutor!
My son has really enjoyed the sessions with her and she adapts them to ensure he is fully understanding the teaching.
Megan provides an overview of feedback after to each session which allows me to understand what she has covered in the session and how to future support my son.
I cannot recommend her enough!!

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

I just wanted to send you a heartfelt thank-you for the English lessons you gave my son. After only three sessions with you, he managed to pass — and we couldn’t be happier! He really enjoyed your lessons and said you made everything easy to understand and enjoyable.I truly appreciate the time, patience, and encouragement you gave him. It’s made a huge difference to his confidence and attitude toward English. Thanks again for all your help — we’re both very grateful!

Ameena tutored our son for an English language retake and he got an 8! He went up 3 grades from a 5. Her tutoring was focussed and responsive and she did it all over about 7 weeks. Could not ask for more. Thank you so much Ameena!

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the English GCSE grade they need for colleges like Wyke or Wilberforce?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE specialists and have extensive experience helping students secure the grades needed for competitive sixth form colleges. They can focus on exam technique, essay writing, and understanding the mark scheme to give your child the best chance of success.
We live in Hedon. Are the tutors familiar with the local school system, like Holderness Academy?
While our tutors are based across the UK, many have experience with students from a wide range of schools. The beauty of one-to-one tutoring is that the tutor will tailor their approach to your child's specific curriculum and learning needs, no matter which school they attend.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings and reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to discuss your child's specific needs before booking.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, typically starting from £15 per hour. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts to worry about.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence is key! In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. This personalised attention helps them understand topics fully, and as their understanding grows, so does their confidence.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every applicant. In fact, we only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
Can tutoring help with specific texts, like 'An Inspector Calls' or Shakespeare?
Yes, definitely. Our English tutors can provide targeted support for any text your child is studying for their GCSEs, whether it's breaking down complex themes in 'Macbeth' or analysing poetry. Just mention the specific texts when you message a tutor.
What technology do we need for online lessons?
It's simple. All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Our online classroom is easy to use and has tools like an interactive whiteboard to make learning engaging.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without being overwhelming. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your tutor to suit your child's needs.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills beyond the core curriculum! You can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to music theory and foreign languages.
How do I pay for lessons?
Our payment system is simple and secure. You add your card details to your account, and payment is taken automatically 24 hours after each lesson is completed. You can track all your lessons and payments easily from your dashboard.
