Why a Strong English GCSE is Key for Your Child's Future
English isn't just about analysing Shakespeare's *Macbeth* or getting to grips with poetry; it's the foundation for almost every other subject. A strong pass, particularly a grade 5 or above, is often a requirement for the most popular A-Level courses and apprenticeships. It develops critical thinking and communication skills that are essential for future success, whether your child is aiming for a place at Loughborough University or starting their career.

Roberto F
Dedicated English tutor
I am a determined person with an always positive attitude towards working. I enjoy working with other people as well as helping them to achieve their goals- for example, I always peer assess my colleagues essays before they submit them.

Furthermore, I have recently completed a nine month placement in central France teaching English to primary school children aged 4-11,...

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.

See all FAQs
My child is at Ibstock Community College. Can a tutor help them aim for a grade 5 or above in GCSE English?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE specialists and can create a tailored plan to help your child focus on the specific skills needed to secure a grade 5 or higher. They can work on everything from exam technique to understanding complex texts, building the confidence they need to succeed.
Can a tutor help my child feel prepared for A-Levels at Ashby School or Stephenson College?
Yes. While tutors focus on the curriculum, they are brilliant mentors. They can help your child build the subject knowledge and confidence needed to not only meet the entry requirements but also to feel prepared and ready for the step up to A-Level study.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check. We also interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
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 for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.

How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
One-to-one attention from a supportive tutor can do wonders for a child's confidence. In a space where it's safe to ask questions and make mistakes, they can work at their own pace and start to see real progress, which is a fantastic confidence booster.

We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! Beyond core academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, you can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to modern languages and university-level support.
