Why a Strong English GCSE is So Important for Their Future
English isn't just another subject; it's the key that unlocks so many doors. The skills your child develops—from analysing a quote in 'Macbeth' to writing a persuasive argument—are what colleges, universities, and employers look for. A good grade in both English Language and Literature gives them the best possible chance to pursue the path they choose, building a strong foundation for their future success.

Janan S
Janan is such a great tutor! She explains things really well and is able to fully break down areas I struggle with in English and make it easy to follow. She is also very personable and creates an easy atmosphere and is very understanding when I am behind in assignments for her, having a very dedicated work ethic, making up for what I lack. She creates a very welcoming environment and I genuinely do enjoy our lessons. Also she has helped direct me towards revision strategy’s as well so I do feel I have improved too in that areas and in English in general too. Would strongly recommend!

Frances H
Frances has been helping my daughter with English and SPaG in preparation for her SATs and after just a few sessions, I’ve seen a difference. She sets weekly homework, takes a genuine interest in my daughter’s week and makes learning fun by playing games like hangman to aid spelling. My daughter is engaged and is starting to really grasp the content. Frances is patient, encouraging and explains things clearly, which has already boosted my daughter’s confidence.

Alexander A
We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

My son has just started with Mamun, so far I am very happy. At first, my son was finding it a bit difficult to understand him, but when I expected it to Mamun he was very nice about it, and he did exactly what I wanted.

Stuart has been amazing helping my S4 with Nat 5 English coursework and exam revision. He is very knowledgeable, personable and reliable. He put my teen at ease straight away and has been helping keep study on track. We would certainly work with Stuart again for Higher. Highly recommended!

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends Horbury Academy. Can a tutor help them keep up with the high standards there?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet and exceed the expectations of high-achieving schools. They can create a tailored learning plan that complements the school curriculum, helping your child build confidence and stay on track with their English studies.
We're worried about the entry requirements for Wakefield College. Can a tutor focus specifically on securing strong English GCSE grades?
Yes, that's a very common goal for parents we work with. Our English tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and can focus lessons on exam technique, revision strategies, and mastering key texts and skills needed to secure the grades required for college courses.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Think about your child's personality and learning style – do they need someone patient and encouraging, or someone who can challenge them? Finding the right match is key to their success.
How much does an online English tutor cost in Horbury?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which typically range from £22 to £45, depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and personally interviewed by our team. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be completely confident that your child is learning from a trusted and experienced professional.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom. Your child and their tutor can use a digital whiteboard, share documents, and work through problems together in real-time. A tutor might help your child plan an essay, analyse a poem, or practise their creative writing skills – it's all tailored to them.
How can tutoring help if my child has lost their confidence in English?
One-to-one tutoring is fantastic for building confidence. In a supportive, private setting, your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down big challenges into manageable steps, which really helps to rebuild their self-belief.
What if we don't get on with the first tutor we choose?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't feel the tutor is the right fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How many lessons will my child need?
It really varies. Some students need a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others benefit from weekly lessons throughout the school year. You can discuss your child's goals with your chosen tutor, and there are no contracts, so you can have as many or as few lessons as you need.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Yes, and many families find it even more effective! The interactive tools in our online classroom make learning engaging, and you get access to the very best tutors from across the UK, not just your local area. Plus, all lessons are recorded so your child can review them anytime.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have tutors for all core academic subjects, we also offer a huge range of other skills. So if your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or even learn a new language for fun, we can help with that too.
Why should I choose Tutorful?
We're trusted by thousands of families across the UK, with a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. We focus on matching your child with a brilliant, vetted tutor who can provide the tailored, one-to-one support they need to succeed and feel confident in their learning.
