Why a Strong English GCSE is Key for Your Child's Future
A strong grade in English isn't just a pass; it's a passport. It's the key that unlocks doors to sought-after courses at local colleges and top universities like Exeter. Beyond just analysing quotes from texts like 'Macbeth', English teaches your child how to build a convincing argument and communicate clearly – essential skills for any competitive apprenticeship or future career. It’s the foundation for their success in whatever they choose to do next.

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.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child has their heart set on Callywith College. Can a tutor help them secure the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced with the GCSE curriculum and know what colleges look for. They can work with your child to build their skills and confidence, focusing on the specific areas needed to achieve a grade 5 or above in English Language.
We're thinking ahead to university. Can a tutor help with applications to places like Exeter or Falmouth?
Yes, many of our English tutors have experience supporting students with their personal statements and wider university applications. They can help your child articulate their ideas clearly and persuasively, which is a huge advantage when applying to competitive universities.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just 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 browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. Many tutors also offer a short introductory chat so you can see if they are a good fit for your child's personality and learning needs before booking a lesson.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down topics into manageable steps and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief and make learning feel positive again.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS background check. We also interview every tutor and only accept 1 in 8 who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has features like a shared whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. Your child just needs a computer or tablet with a good internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week works well, especially for consistent progress towards a goal like the GCSEs. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child and their tutor.
Can a tutor help with specific exam board requirements?
Yes, they can. Our tutors have experience with all the major UK exam boards, like AQA, Edexcel and OCR. You can check a tutor's profile or ask them directly to make sure they're familiar with the specific curriculum your child is studying.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum! From learning a musical instrument like the guitar to practical skills like coding or even public speaking, you can find a brilliant tutor to support your child's hobbies and passions.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most tutoring sessions are one hour long. We find this is the perfect amount of time for your child to get focused, one-to-one support without losing concentration.
