A strong grade in GCSE English is more than just a qualification; it's the foundation for your child's future studies. The ability to analyse complex texts, from Shakespeare to unseen poetry, and to write clear, persuasive essays is essential for success in A-Levels. These are precisely the skills that top London universities like UCL and King's look for, opening doors to a huge range of future career paths.

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.

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!

Amazing tutor! I went from a weak grade 3 in English Language to being just one mark off a 6. Lessons were clear, supportive, and really boosted my confidence. I couldn’t have done it without their help and would 100% recommend.

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
My child wants to apply to a competitive sixth form like St Augustine's or Hampstead School. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students secure places at their first-choice sixth forms. They can focus on strengthening the specific analytical and writing skills needed to achieve the high GCSE grades these schools often require.
We're aiming for a top London university like UCL or King's. Do your tutors have experience with this?
Many of our tutors are graduates from top UK universities themselves and are brilliant at mentoring students with similar ambitions. They can help your child master the essay-writing and critical thinking skills that are essential for success in A-Levels and for writing a compelling personal statement.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with specific experience, such as GCSE English Language or A-Level Literature. We encourage you to read their profiles, check reviews from other parents, and send a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before you book a lesson.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. 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 in Kilburn cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and level of expertise. You can see each tutor's price per hour clearly on their profile, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors undergoes a thorough background check before they can teach on our platform, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
This is one of the most important things a tutor can do. By providing patient, one-to-one support in a positive environment, a tutor can help your child understand tricky topics, celebrate small wins, and gradually rebuild their self-belief. Seeing their own progress is the best confidence booster there is.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have thousands of amazing academic tutors, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Your child could learn anything from coding and guitar to a new language or even public speaking. It's all about helping them discover and grow their passions.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Every lesson is different because it's tailored to your child's needs. A session might involve working through a specific homework problem, practising exam techniques for an upcoming test, analysing a poem together on the interactive whiteboard, or planning the structure of a crucial essay.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with our tutors. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and a more positive attitude towards their studies.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss how things are going and review lesson recordings to see what they have been working on together.
