Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is Key to Your Child's Future
English isn't just another subject; it's the key that unlocks your child's future choices. A strong GCSE grade is often a requirement for the most sought-after A-Level courses at Rochdale Sixth Form College and is essential for applications to competitive universities like Manchester or Leeds. From clearly structuring an essay on 'An Inspector Calls' to analysing complex language in poetry, the skills they build in English are the ones they'll use for the rest of their academic and professional lives.

Kathy F
Creative English tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior). I would help...

Tudor B
Dedicated English tutor
With a combined 10 years' of education experience across two institutions, I have encountered many types of students - some aged 16, some aged 60. All present very unique educational needs, or even sensory needs; at times, it is necessary for me to deliver or reiterate classroom content through British Sign Language (BSL), something I would be more than happy to do with clients here as well. My responsibility as a Learning Link Tutor is to bridge the gap between learner and tutor within the classroom, and academically support the students who need it.

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
My child is aiming for Rochdale Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help with that specific goal?
Absolutely. Many parents in Littleborough share that goal. Our tutors can focus on strengthening the specific skills and knowledge your child needs to achieve the GCSE English grade required for their desired A-Level courses, building their confidence for the step up to college.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum taught at schools like Hollingworth Academy?
Yes. Our tutors are experts in the UK national curriculum and have extensive experience with the AQA, Edexcel, and OCR exam boards used in most English schools. They can tailor lessons to support exactly what your child is learning in class and help them prepare for their specific exams.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's a really personal choice. You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important thing.
How much does online English tuition cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £20 to £45 per hour depending on their experience and qualifications. You can filter your search by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. 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 can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors can break down tricky topics, celebrate small wins, and show your child what they're capable of, which makes a huge difference.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and has had their ID and references verified by our specialist team.
How do online lessons work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features 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.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE texts like 'Macbeth' or 'A Christmas Carol'?
Definitely. Our English tutors are experts in the set texts for GCSE. They can help your child explore themes, analyse key quotes, and structure essays to help them feel fully prepared for their exams.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour a week is ideal for steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want to increase the frequency in the run-up to exams or have lessons less often during school holidays. It's entirely up to you and your tutor.
What results can we expect from tutoring?
While every child is different, we have a strong track record of success. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we've helped many students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades, opening up more opportunities for their future.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding, Python, or guitar?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument, master a new language, or dive into coding, you can find expert tutors to support their passions and hobbies.
