Gearoid C
Gearoid supported my son with GCSE English during a key transition period in Year 11. My son had moved schools and was adjusting to a different GCSE specification, which had left noticeable gaps in his knowledge. Gearoid helped him bridge those gaps methodically and clarified the expectations of the exam board.
From the very first session, there was a shift in confidence. My son came out saying, “So I’m not stupid.” Over time, that developed into him saying he “felt clever.” For a student who can struggle with processing speed and exam anxiety, this was a significant and meaningful change.
Gearoid is calm, professional and thoughtful in his approach. He communicates clearly, is reliable, and genuinely cares about his students’ progress. I am grateful for the role he played in rebuilding both understanding and belief.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is preparing for entrance exams for a Trafford grammar school. Can a tutor help?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have specific experience helping students prepare for 11+ and independent school entrance exams. They can focus on the creative writing and comprehension skills needed to build your child's confidence and ability for these competitive tests.
We hope our child will study at the University of Manchester. How can a tutor support this?
That's a fantastic goal. An English tutor can help your child build a strong academic foundation right through their GCSEs and A-Levels. By helping them secure top grades, they ensure your child has the best possible chance when it comes to A-Level choices and writing a strong university application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents just like you. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a session to make sure you find the perfect match.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure it's the perfect fit for your child. 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.
My child is worried about their GCSE English grades. How much can a tutor help?
Our tutors can make a real difference. They can help your child get to grips with tricky texts, improve their essay writing, and prepare effectively for exams. Our data shows that a Tutorful tutor can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
Can a tutor help if my child's confidence in English is low?
Definitely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement, helping them to build up their confidence at their own pace.
How much does an 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, allowing you to find a brilliant tutor who also fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do I know the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our highest priority. Every tutor on our platform must pass a background check and an interview before they can teach. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring you get the highest quality, professional tuition.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for an engaging lesson, including video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a simple way to share documents. It’s designed to be easy to use, so your child can focus entirely on learning.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Many families find one session a week works well, but you can arrange lessons as frequently as you need. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.
What can my child expect in their first English lesson?
The first lesson is a friendly introduction. The tutor will get to know your child, chat about what they find difficult in English, and understand what they want to achieve. It's a relaxed session designed to build a good, supportive relationship from the start.
Do you only offer tutoring for core school subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for all academic subjects, we also offer support for a huge range of skills and hobbies. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help.
