More than just a qualification, a strong GCSE English grade is a key that unlocks your child's future choices. It's the foundation for A-Levels and is looked for by every top college and university. The skills they'll build – from analysing quotes in 'Macbeth' to writing a clear, persuasive argument – are exactly what admissions tutors want to see. It gives your child the confidence and communication skills they'll need for their future career, too.

Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

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 is aiming for a competitive sixth form in Bury St Edmunds. Can a tutor help with this?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors specialise in helping students secure the higher grades needed for competitive entry. They can focus on the specific areas of the GCSE English curriculum your child finds tricky, helping them build the skills and confidence to achieve the grades required for places at top sixth forms.
We're worried about getting the grade 7 needed for Cambridge colleges. How can a tutor make a difference?
It's a common concern, and a tutor can make a real difference. They provide focused, one-to-one support to turn a grade 6 into a 7 or 8. By identifying specific weaknesses, whether in textual analysis or essay writing, they can provide targeted practice and feedback to help your child secure those crucial extra marks.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's specific goals. It's all about finding someone your child connects with, who has the right experience for their needs.
How are your tutors vetted?
We take your child's safety and quality of learning very seriously. Every tutor is background-checked and has their ID verified. We also interview them to ensure they have the right expertise and a passion for teaching. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to join us.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and qualifications. You can use our search filters to find excellent tutors who fit within your family's budget.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. That's why we have a first lesson guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, 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 build my child's confidence?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors provide constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which helps your child see their own progress and feel much more positive about their abilities in English.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple and effective. All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
Are your tutors qualified to teach GCSE English Language and Literature?
Yes. Many of our English tutors are qualified teachers with years of experience teaching the specific AQA, Edexcel, and OCR exam board curricula for both GCSE English Language and Literature. You can see their specific experience on their profiles.
How long will my child need tutoring for?
It really depends on your child's goals. Some students have a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others have regular weekly lessons to build their skills over time. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor to create a plan that works for you.
What are the benefits of online tutoring over finding someone local?
Online tutoring gives you access to the best tutors across the entire UK, not just in the Newmarket area. This means you can find a specialist for your child's exact needs. It's also more flexible, saving you time on travel and fitting easily around your family's schedule.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
While we're experts in core subjects like English and Maths, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get into coding with Python, or even learn a new language, you can find a brilliant tutor for it on Tutorful.
