GCSE English isn't just another subject; it's a core qualification that future employers and educators look for. A strong pass is often essential for your child to move on to their chosen A-Levels or vocational courses. The skills they'll build with a tutor – from analysing a key quote in 'Macbeth' to structuring a persuasive essay – are skills for life. They build confidence in communication and critical thinking, setting your child up for success whatever path they choose.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to study A-Levels at Ashfield School. Can a tutor help them secure the necessary GCSE English grade?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the grades needed for their next steps, like A-Levels. They can focus on the specific skills and knowledge required for a Grade 4, 5, or higher in GCSE English to help your child meet the entry requirements for schools like Ashfield.
We're looking at courses at West Nottinghamshire College. How can an English tutor support this goal?
A strong pass in GCSE English is often a key requirement for vocational courses. A tutor can help your child build the foundational literacy and communication skills that colleges look for, ensuring their application is as strong as possible and they're ready for the demands of their chosen course.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's goals before booking to ensure you find someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right student-tutor relationship is. 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?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's a simple, secure, and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must pass an interview and have a valid DBS background check before they can teach on our platform.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and supportive space where your child can learn at their own pace. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, our tutors help students overcome their worries and start to believe in their own abilities.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns differently, but consistency is key. We find that regular lessons make a big impact, which is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs, our support can help students improve by up to two grades.
Can we get help with specific parts of the English curriculum, like Shakespeare or poetry?
Yes, definitely. The beauty of one-to-one tutoring is that lessons are completely tailored to your child. If they need to focus on understanding a specific text, analysing poetry, or improving their essay writing, their tutor will create a plan to tackle that exact area.
Is tutoring only for core subjects like English, or can you help with other skills too?
While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
A session usually starts with a quick chat about what your child has been doing in school and any areas they're finding tricky. The tutor will then guide them through explanations, work on practice questions, and review homework, all focused on your child's specific learning goals for that day.
