Why a Strong English GCSE Opens Doors for Your Child
A good grade in English is more than just a requirement; it's a skill for life that colleges and universities really value. The ability to analyse a complex text like 'Macbeth' or write a clear, persuasive argument is essential for almost any A-Level subject. It's this foundation that helps students stand out when applying to competitive universities like Southampton, Exeter, or Bristol, and gives them the communication skills they'll need in their future career.

Personalised English Support That Works for Your Child
Finding the right person to support your child is everything. Our tutors aren't just subject experts; they're mentors who take the time to understand how your child learns. We carefully select the best tutors from across the UK—with only 1 in 8 applicants accepted—and every one is background-checked, so you can feel completely reassured. They’ll create a supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and tackling tricky topics. Every lesson is built around your child's specific goals. If they're finding poetry analysis difficult or need to get to grips with unseen fiction for their English Language exam, their tutor will focus the session exactly where it's needed most. This personalised approach is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade, and we can help your child improve their GCSE results by up to 2 grades. With online tutoring, you can find the perfect English specialist without having to travel. Lessons can be scheduled at times that suit your family, whether that's after school or on a weekend. It's a simple, flexible way to get your child the support they need, right from your home in the New Forest.

Raquel A
Supportive and Structured English Tutor
Hello and welcome! My name is Raquel and I look forward to meeting you soon. In the meantime, allow me to share with you why I choose to tutor: Mixed memories of middle school and college spring to mind. Excitement bubbling up to return to school after a fun and well spend summer holiday with family and friends. What formed part of the anticipation was the sense of being ready. Ready to sit in class with fellow classmates, ready to take home homework, planning and organising assignments. It may seem as if I had forgotten the stress and pressure I found myself under in the previous school year,...

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for Brockenhurst College?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students prepare for their GCSEs with specific college entry requirements in mind. They can focus on the exact areas of the English curriculum your child needs to strengthen to secure their place.
My child is aiming for a competitive university like Southampton or Bristol. Can a tutor help?
Yes. A strong grade in English GCSE is a key building block for A-Levels and university applications. Our tutors can help your child develop the deep analytical and communication skills that top universities look for in their applicants, setting them up for future success.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific needs before booking. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important thing.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy to ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics, like analysing poetry, into manageable steps, which really helps build self-belief.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term commitments.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS check before they can teach on our platform. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer, a webcam, and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature GCSEs?
Definitely. Most English tutors are experienced in teaching both parts of the GCSE course. You can check their profiles for specifics or message them directly to confirm they can cover the exam boards and texts your child is studying.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English and Maths, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Your child could learn a new skill like coding, playing the guitar, or even a new language.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard lesson length is one hour, which most parents and students find works well. However, you can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor to find what best suits your child's concentration and your family's schedule.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most students have one lesson per week, as this provides consistency and allows them time to absorb what they've learned. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged with your tutor. Some students have more lessons in the run-up to exams.
