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.

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 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.
