Why a Top GCSE English Grade is So Important in Leicestershire
A strong English qualification is more than just a line on a certificate; it's a vital tool for your child's future. The ability to analyse a complex text like 'Macbeth' or construct a persuasive argument in an essay are the exact skills needed for demanding A-Levels and strong university applications. It shows admissions tutors that your child is a clear, critical thinker, ready for the next step in their education and future career.

Give Your Child the Personalised English Support They Need to Succeed
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a connection. By understanding your child's unique learning style and where they need the most help, they can create a supportive space for them to ask questions and grow in confidence. We take the stress out of finding that perfect match by carefully selecting the UK's best tutors—only 1 in 8 who apply are accepted—and ensuring every one is background-checked, so you can have complete peace of mind. Every online lesson is built entirely around your child. If they need to master the poetry anthology for their exam or fine-tune their analytical writing to turn a grade 6 into a grade 8, the session will focus on exactly that. This tailored approach is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade with us. In fact, for GCSEs, we can help boost results by up to two grades, making a real difference to their future options. Finding time for extra support shouldn't be another stress.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Beauchamp College. Can a tutor help them achieve the GCSE English grades they need?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for top grades (7-9). They can focus on the specific analytical and essay-writing skills that colleges look for, giving your child the best possible chance of securing their place.
We're worried about the competition for universities like Loughborough and Leicester. How can an English tutor help?
A tutor can help your child develop the advanced communication and critical thinking skills that make a university application stand out. Stronger A-Level performance and a well-articulated personal statement can make a huge difference when applying to competitive universities.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few to find someone your child will get on with. It's all about finding the right personality and teaching style for them.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for learning. 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 in Leicestershire cost?
Tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50. You can filter by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
My child has lost confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. The one-to-one attention in a safe, supportive environment allows your child to ask questions without fear of judgement, helping them to rebuild their self-belief and enjoy learning again.
How are your tutors vetted?
We take safety and quality very seriously. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every applicant to ensure they have the right experience and passion for teaching. We're proud to accept only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
Is tutoring just for school subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we help thousands of students with academic subjects, our tutors offer a huge range of skills! Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor for them here.
Can a tutor help with specific exam texts, like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Yes, definitely. Tutors can provide focused sessions on specific texts, helping your child understand key themes, analyse quotes, and structure high-scoring essays. This is a great way to prepare for an exam.
How long will my child need a tutor for?
This completely depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others have regular weekly lessons throughout the school year. You can discuss this directly with your tutor.
