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.

Personalised English Tutoring to Help Them Stand Out
We know that finding the right support for your child is everything. That's why we're so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Our expert English tutors are not just subject specialists; they’re mentors who get to know your child's unique learning style. They’ll quickly identify the specific areas where your child needs a boost, whether it's understanding Shakespearean language or mastering exam technique, and build a genuine connection that helps them feel confident. Every single lesson is built around your child. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, their tutor will focus on exactly what they need to make progress. This could mean spending a session deconstructing a difficult poem or practising timed essays to perfection.

Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic English Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

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
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.
