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. Juggling school, homework, and family life in New Ollerton can be tricky. Online tutoring makes it simple. 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.

Ben D
Ben is an amazing tutor, he’s really got my step son who has Asperger’s to engage, lessons are planned and structured, post lesson feedback given which really helps as I can send it over to his mom after his lesson and know what he needs to revise. Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

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.
