Why a Strong GCSE in English is Key for Their Next Steps
English isn't just about analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' or writing essays; it's the foundation for almost every other subject. Strong communication and analytical skills are essential, whether your child is aiming for A-Levels at Wyedean, a course at Gloucestershire College, or a place at a top university like Bristol or Cardiff. A great GCSE grade in English gives them the confidence and the qualification to keep their options wide open, setting them up for success long after they leave school.

Personalised English Support That Makes a Real Difference
We believe the best learning happens when a student feels understood. That's why we help you find a tutor who not only knows the English curriculum inside out but also takes the time to connect with your child. By understanding how they learn best, our tutors can build their confidence and make even the trickiest topics, like analysing poetry, feel much more manageable. Every one-to-one lesson is built around your child's specific needs. If they're finding it hard to structure an essay on 'An Inspector Calls' or need to nail down their grammar, their tutor will create a plan just for them. This focused attention is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and it can make all the difference in helping your child secure that crucial grade 6 or 7 at GCSE. Finding the right support shouldn't add to your busy schedule. With our online lessons, your child can learn from the comfort of home, at a time that works for your family. You can browse our background-checked tutors, read reviews from other parents, and book a lesson in minutes. It's a simple, safe, and effective way to give your child the support they need to succeed.

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
We're really hoping for a place at Wyedean Sixth Form or Gloucestershire College. Can a tutor help with that goal?
Yes, they can. A strong GCSE English grade is often a key requirement for popular A-Level and college courses. Our tutors can focus specifically on the exam skills and knowledge your child needs to aim for a grade 6, 7, or higher, helping them meet the entry requirements for their chosen next step.
My child attends The Dean Academy. Can a tutor help them specifically with the curriculum they're following?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience with the specific curricula taught in local schools. When you message a tutor, you can ask about their familiarity with the AQA or Edexcel exam boards, for example, to ensure the lessons align perfectly with what your child is learning in class.
How do I choose the best English tutor for my child?
You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and a short video introduction. Reading reviews from other parents is also a great way to get a feel for their teaching style. We recommend messaging a few tutors to find the one who is the best fit for your child's personality and learning needs.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important, which is 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 can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we personally interview them to ensure they are knowledgeable and passionate about teaching. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident you're choosing from the best.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It’s designed to be simple and engaging, allowing your child to learn face-to-face with their tutor from the comfort of home.
How much does an online English tutor in Lydney cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on a tutor's experience. You can use the filters on the search page to find a great tutor who fits your family's budget.
Can tutoring help improve my child's GCSE grade?
Yes, it really can. Personalised support makes a huge difference. In fact, our data shows that one-to-one tutoring can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades, giving them a much stronger foundation for their A-Levels and beyond.
My child really lacks confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. In a supportive, patient environment, your child can ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Tutors are brilliant at breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, which works wonders for building a child's self-belief.
How many lessons will my child need?
It really depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few lessons to prepare for an exam, while others have regular weekly sessions. There's no minimum commitment, so you can discuss what works best for you directly with your chosen tutor.
How long does a typical tutoring session last?
Most sessions are an hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without your child losing focus. However, you can always arrange a different session length with your tutor if needed.
Do you only offer tutoring for core academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like Maths, English, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas! You can find expert tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding in Python to modern languages and music theory.
