Find the Right Online English Tutor in Matlock to Help Your Child Succeed
It's completely understandable to feel the pressure. When your child is at a great school like Highfields, you want to know they have the best possible chance to secure the grades they need for sixth form or college. We know there's a particular worry around GCSE English – that feeling that a single grade could be the gatekeeper to the A-Levels they’ve set their heart on.
Finding the right one-to-one support can make all the difference. An online English tutor can work with your child to build their confidence, tackle the tricky topics, and develop the skills they need to not just pass, but to feel proud of their results and ready for the next step.

Opening Doors for Your Child with GCSE English
A strong pass in GCSE English isn't just another qualification; it's a key that unlocks your child's future. It's the foundation for almost every A-Level course and a non-negotiable for respected universities like Sheffield, Nottingham, and Derby. More than that, the skills they'll sharpen – from analysing a quote in 'Macbeth' to structuring a persuasive argument – are skills they'll use for the rest of their lives. A great tutor helps them master the subject and build a bedrock of confidence for whatever comes next.

Personalised English Tutoring, Designed for Your Child
We know that the best results come from a real connection. That's why we help you find a tutor who not only knows the English curriculum inside-out, but who also takes the time to understand your child's unique learning style and where they need the most help. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from an expert who is background-checked and ready to support them. Every single lesson is built around your child. If they're struggling to get to grips with unseen poetry, their tutor can spend the whole session breaking it down. If they need to refine their essay technique for their final exams, their tutor will provide targeted feedback and practice. This focused approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade – with many GCSE students improving by up to two grades. Finding that support shouldn't add to your family's stress. With online tutoring, there's no need to rush to appointments. You can find the perfect English tutor from anywhere in the UK and schedule lessons at times that fit around your life. It’s a flexible, simple way to get your child the help they need, and you can feel confident knowing you’re joining a community of over 200,000 happy students, rated 4.6/5 stars.

John H
Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Highfields School. Can a tutor help them secure a strong GCSE English grade for sixth form?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the grades needed for competitive sixth forms and colleges. They can focus specifically on the GCSE English Language and Literature syllabus, helping your child build the skills and confidence to achieve a grade that opens doors to their chosen A-Levels.
We're hoping for a place at a university like Sheffield or Nottingham. Can an English tutor help with the A-Level journey?
Yes, they can. Our tutors support students right through their A-Levels. They can help your child master the more complex texts and analytical skills required at this level, providing a strong foundation for their university application and future studies.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check ratings from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking a session to make sure you've found the perfect match.
How much does online English tutoring cost in Matlock?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This means you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits within your family's budget.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed a background check before they can start teaching. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply to ensure the highest quality.
How can a tutor help build my child's confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one session, there are no 'silly questions'. A tutor creates a safe space for your child to admit what they don't understand, work through it at their own pace, and celebrate small wins. This personalised support is often the key to helping them feel more capable and confident in the classroom.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a two-way interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. It's a simple and effective way for them to learn from the comfort of home, with all their notes saved in one place.
Is Tutorful just for academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get into coding, or even learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor to help them.
How quickly can we expect to see results?
Every child learns at a different pace, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of students who use Tutorful regularly improve their academic performance by at least one grade.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
A great session is tailored to your child's needs. It might start with a quick review of what they covered in school that week, followed by focusing on a specific area they find tricky – like analysing poetry or planning an essay. The tutor will use examples and interactive exercises to make sure the concepts really stick.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. The best way to track progress is by chatting with the tutor. They can provide regular feedback on how your child is doing, what they've been working on, and the plan for future sessions. This partnership between you, your child, and the tutor ensures everyone is working towards the same goal.
