It's completely understandable to feel the pressure when you know how much GCSE English results matter for your child's next steps.

That's where one-to-one tutoring can make a real difference. It’s a partnership designed to give your child the focused support and confidence they need to turn that predicted grade into one that truly opens up their future options. You're not alone in this – we're here to help.

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
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grade needed for Hereford Sixth Form College?
Absolutely. Many parents in Ledbury use Tutorful for this exact reason. Our tutors specialise in helping students move from a good grade to a great one. They can focus on the specific exam board your child is studying and the techniques needed to secure the higher grades that top sixth forms look for.
My child is at John Masefield. Can a tutor work with their specific curriculum?
Yes, of course. The benefit of one-to-one tutoring is that the lessons are completely tailored. You can find a tutor who has experience with your child's specific exam board and set texts, ensuring the support they receive is perfectly aligned with what they're learning in school.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications on their profile. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs and ensure they're a good match. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable with.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can expect to pay between £25 and £45 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price on our website to find someone who fits your budget.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson. There's an interactive whiteboard for analysing texts, video chat for face-to-face interaction, and a tool for sharing documents and past papers. It's simple, secure, and designed for learning.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence is key. By working one-to-one in a safe, encouraging space, your child can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Celebrating small wins and mastering tricky topics with their tutor's guidance makes a huge difference to their self-belief.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective, and only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply is accepted onto our platform.
What are the benefits of one-to-one tutoring over a group class?
With one-to-one tutoring, the lesson is 100% focused on your child. There are no distractions, and the tutor can adapt their teaching style and pace to perfectly match your child's needs, which is often how students make progress so quickly.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Our tutors provide regular feedback, and you can message them at any time to discuss your child's progress. You'll also see it in their growing confidence and, ultimately, in their school reports and exam results.
Is it just for core subjects like English and Maths, or can you help with other skills?
While we have fantastic tutors for all academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for modern languages, musical instruments like guitar or piano, and even skills like coding.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set number. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly sessions throughout the school year. It’s completely flexible and depends entirely on your child's goals and your family's needs.
