Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is So Important
GCSE English is more than just a qualification; it's the key that unlocks your child's future choices. A strong pass, especially a grade 5 or above, is often essential for getting into the A-Level courses they want, whether that's at a college in Mansfield, Nottingham, or further afield. The skills they develop – from analysing quotes in 'Macbeth' to crafting a persuasive argument – are the same ones they'll need for university applications and future careers. It’s about giving them the best possible start.

Finding the Right English Support for Your Child
We believe the best learning happens when your child feels understood. That's why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring you can choose from the very best. Our tutors are experts at getting to know your child, understanding how they learn, and building a genuine rapport. This personal connection makes learning feel less like a chore and helps your child feel comfortable asking questions and tackling tricky topics. Every one-to-one session is built around your child. If they're struggling to structure an essay or need to get to grips with Shakespearean language, their tutor will create a lesson plan just for them. This focused approach is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade with us. For GCSEs, that support can mean improving by up to two grades – a huge step towards securing that all-important grade 5 or higher.

You can find the perfect tutor and schedule lessons at times that work for you, all from the comfort of your own home. There’s no travel, no stress – just effective, convenient support.

Professional English tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school.

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...

Jessica C
Jessica is so incredibly patient with my son. She breaks down lessons as small as possible in order for my son to understand her easily. Though my son is always very distracted, Jessica is able to work around it and consistently quiz him in order for him to remember and retain information. She is a hard worker and incredibly skilled. She’s a wonderful tutor! I really recommend her.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends The Dukeries Academy. Can a tutor help them specifically aim for a grade 5 or higher in GCSE English?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target specific grades. They can work with your child on the exact areas needed to turn a grade 4 into a 5 or above, focusing on exam technique, essay writing, and building a deeper understanding of the curriculum.
We're worried about A-Level entry requirements for colleges in Mansfield and Nottingham. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, this is a common goal for many parents we help. An English tutor can focus on securing the GCSE grade your child needs to open up their A-Level options at local colleges. By building strong foundational skills, they help ensure your child has the best possible choice for their next steps.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you feel the first tutor isn't the right match 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 pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can start by using our search filters to find tutors with experience in the right area, like GCSE English. Watch their introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send messages to a few to ask about their approach. Finding someone your child connects with is key.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
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 not ask in class. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics, like algebra or poetry analysis, into manageable steps, which really helps build self-belief.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our priority. All of our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How does online tutoring work?
It's simple. All lessons happen in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a microphone, a camera, and a stable internet connection.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one lesson a week is a great starting point for making steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You and your tutor can decide on a schedule that works best for your child's goals and your family's routine.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills like coding or a musical instrument?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding in Python, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
The standard lesson length is one hour. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. You can discuss different lesson lengths with your tutor if needed.
What happens if we need to cancel a lesson?
We understand that life can be unpredictable. We have a simple 24-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can cancel or reschedule your lesson without any charge.
