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.

English Tutor - Making learning memorable
* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study. These...

Janan S
Janan is such a great tutor! She explains things really well and is able to fully break down areas I struggle with in English and make it easy to follow. She is also very personable and creates an easy atmosphere and is very understanding when I am behind in assignments for her, having a very dedicated work ethic, making up for what I lack. She creates a very welcoming environment and I genuinely do enjoy our lessons. Also she has helped direct me towards revision strategy’s as well so I do feel I have improved too in that areas and in English in general too. Would strongly recommend!

Frances H
Frances has been helping my daughter with English and SPaG in preparation for her SATs and after just a few sessions, I’ve seen a difference. She sets weekly homework, takes a genuine interest in my daughter’s week and makes learning fun by playing games like hangman to aid spelling. My daughter is engaged and is starting to really grasp the content. Frances is patient, encouraging and explains things clearly, which has already boosted my daughter’s confidence.

Alexander A
We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

My son has just started with Mamun, so far I am very happy. At first, my son was finding it a bit difficult to understand him, but when I expected it to Mamun he was very nice about it, and he did exactly what I wanted.

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.
