How Strong English Skills Shape Your Child's Future
A strong grade in GCSE English isn't just another qualification; it's a foundation for your child's future. It opens doors to the A-Levels they want to study and strengthens their applications to competitive universities, including Russell Group institutions like the University of Nottingham. The skills they develop – from crafting a compelling argument to analysing the language in a Shakespeare play like 'Macbeth' – are skills for life, valued in every career path.

Alexander A
We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is hoping to apply to the University of Nottingham. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors have experience helping students strengthen their personal statements and prepare for the academic rigour of university. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills that Russell Group universities like Nottingham look for.
We live near West Bridgford. Are the tutors local to Nottingham?
Because our lessons are all online, you can connect with the very best English tutors from across the UK, not just those in Nottingham. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists, so you can find the perfect match for your child's specific needs and learning style, no matter where you live.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor 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 choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos. Many tutors also offer a free 15-minute chat so you can discuss your child's goals and see if it's a good fit before booking a lesson.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one attention in a safe, supportive space makes a huge difference. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics into manageable steps, which helps your child feel more capable and less anxious about their English lessons at school.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE English texts?
Definitely. Our English tutors are experts in the GCSE curriculum. Whether your child is studying 'An Inspector Calls', 'Macbeth', or unseen poetry, their tutor can provide focused support to help them understand the text and analyse it effectively.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, so your child can focus on learning.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and your child. Most families choose to have one lesson per week to build momentum, but you can arrange sessions more or less frequently depending on your child's goals, for example, more often in the run-up to GCSE exams.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors undergo a thorough vetting process, including identity and background checks, before they can join our platform. It's one of the reasons we have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like English?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects from the 11+ to A-Levels, we also believe in learning for life. Your child can explore a new passion or develop a professional skill with tutors for coding, learning a musical instrument like the guitar, or even mastering a new language.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today! Simply search for a tutor, send them a message to arrange a time, and your child could be having their first lesson within a few days. Join the 200,000+ happy students who have used Tutorful.
