Why a Strong English Grade is Key for Their Next Step
English isn't just another subject on the timetable; it's the foundation for almost everything your child will go on to study. The ability to analyse a complex text in 'An Inspector Calls' or structure a persuasive argument isn't just for their English exam. These are the core skills that colleges and top universities like Exeter and Bristol look for across all A-Level subjects, opening doors to a wider range of future opportunities.

English Tutor - Making learning memorable
* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study.

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 a local school like Newquay Tretherras. Can a tutor help them get the grades needed for Truro and Penwith College?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum and have experience helping students secure the grades they need for competitive colleges. They can focus specifically on the syllabus your child is studying and the exam techniques required to help them achieve their goals.
Are the tutors familiar with the specific exam board my child is studying, like AQA or Edexcel?
Yes. When you search for a tutor, you can view their profile to see their experience with specific exam boards. Many tutors list their specialisms, so you can find someone who is a great match for the exact curriculum your child is working on.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best way is to watch tutors' introductory videos, read their bios, and check reviews from other parents. You can message tutors for free to ask about their experience and teaching style before you book. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't get on with their 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 tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which typically range from £25 to £50 per hour depending on their experience and qualifications. You can filter your search by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in class. As they start to grasp difficult topics and see their skills improve, their self-belief naturally grows.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All of our tutors have been through a thorough vetting process, which includes an identity check and an enhanced DBS check, so you can have complete peace of mind.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing tools, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work together just as they would in person.
Can tutoring really improve my child's grade?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. We've seen that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs specifically, dedicated one-to-one support can help boost a student's final result by up to two grades.
How long are the lessons?
Lessons are typically one hour long, as this is usually the most effective timeframe for keeping students engaged. However, you can discuss your child's needs with your chosen tutor to agree on a lesson length that works best for them.
Is this just for academic subjects like English?
While we have thousands of tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for modern languages, music lessons like guitar, and even practical skills like coding.
What happens in a typical first lesson?
The first session is usually about getting to know each other. The tutor will chat with your child about their goals, what they find challenging in English, and what they enjoy. It's a relaxed way to build a plan for future lessons and ensure it's a good fit.
