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.

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
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.
