Why a Strong English GCSE Opens Doors for Your Child
English isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for so much of your child's future success. A good grade is often essential for getting into college and is highly valued by top universities like Exeter and Plymouth. The skills they learn – like building a compelling argument or understanding complex texts – are skills for life. Whether they're breaking down a quote from 'Macbeth' or preparing for their English Language exam, a tutor helps them become a more confident and effective communicator, ready for whatever comes next.

Personalised English Support to Help Your Child Succeed
The right tutor does more than just teach; they get to know your child as an individual. They’ll take the time to understand how your child learns best, what they find tricky, and what their goals are. This means they can create a supportive, encouraging space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and isn't afraid to make mistakes. It’s this personal connection that helps build true confidence. Because every lesson is one-to-one, it’s shaped entirely around your child’s needs. If they're struggling with algebra in Maths or finding Shakespeare difficult in English, the tutor can focus the whole session on that exact topic until it clicks. This tailored approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, with our support proven to help improve GCSE results by up to two grades. Finding the right support shouldn't add more stress to your family's schedule. With our online lessons, you can connect with the very best tutors from across the UK – we only accept 1 in 8 who apply – right from your home in Liskeard. You can arrange lessons for times that suit you, whether it's after school or on a weekend, without any extra travel.

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 they need for Callywith College?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific grades, like the 5s and 6s needed for competitive courses. They can focus on exam technique, close reading skills, and essay writing to build your child's confidence and help them secure their place.
My child hopes to apply to universities like Exeter or Plymouth. How can an English tutor help?
That's a fantastic goal. A tutor can help your child develop the advanced analytical and communication skills needed for A-Levels and university applications. They can provide support with crafting a compelling personal statement and prepare them for the higher level of critical thinking expected at university.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It’s easy to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and filter tutors by their experience. We also recommend sending a message to a few tutors to chat about your child's specific needs before you book a lesson.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £20 to £50 per hour. You can see each tutor's price on their profile, so you can easily find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees.
What 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.
Are your tutors safe and background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is identity and background checked before they can join our platform. We are very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How do online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and engaging. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and working through problems together, and a space to upload documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Sometimes, a lack of confidence is the biggest hurdle. In a one-to-one lesson, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors provide constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which makes a huge difference to how your child feels about their abilities.
Can a tutor help with specific exam board requirements or texts?
Yes. Our tutors have experience with all the major exam boards, like AQA and Edexcel. They can tailor lessons to the specific requirements of your child's syllabus, whether that's analysing 'An Inspector Calls' or mastering poetry from the anthology.
How many lessons will my child need?
There's no set rule, as every child is different. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for an exam, while others have regular weekly sessions. You can discuss your child's goals with your chosen tutor, and they will help you create a plan that works for you.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer fantastic support for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Your child could learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today. Simply browse our tutors, find one you like, and send them a message to arrange your first lesson. Many tutors can offer a session within a few days, so you can get the support your child needs right away.
