Why a Top Grade in English Opens Doors for Your Child
A strong English GCSE is more than just a requirement; it's the key that unlocks your child's future choices. The ability to analyse a text like 'Macbeth' or construct a persuasive argument isn't just for the exam hall. These skills are essential for success in A-Levels, and are exactly what top Russell Group universities look for in their applicants. It's the foundation for clear communication and critical thinking in any career they choose.

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.

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Ousedale School. Can we find a tutor familiar with the high standards expected?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors have experience helping students from high-achieving schools. You can view each tutor's profile to see their background and even message them before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and the school's curriculum.
We're aiming for top grades for A-Level entry and eventually a Russell Group university. Can a tutor help with this specific goal?
Yes, this is a very common goal for families we support. Our tutors are experts at helping students move beyond the core curriculum to develop the deeper analytical skills needed to achieve those top 8 and 9 grades that make an application stand out to competitive universities.
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. We recommend looking for someone whose experience matches your child's goals, whether that's GCSE exam technique or building foundational skills. You can also message tutors beforehand to ensure they're the right fit.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We understand that the right fit is crucial. That's 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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You'll find the hourly rate clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How does online tutoring work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom, which features a shared whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. It allows for interactive, one-to-one learning from the comfort of your home, saving you travel time and hassle.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single one of our tutors has passed a background check before they can teach on our platform. We also only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the best.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Often, a lack of confidence comes from small gaps in understanding. A personal tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By working at their pace and celebrating small wins, tutors help build their self-belief, which has a positive impact on their schoolwork.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
A typical lesson is tailored to your child's needs. It might start with a quick review of a school topic they found tricky, then move on to practising a specific skill, like analysing quotes from 'An Inspector Calls' or planning an essay structure. It's fully interactive and focused on what your child needs to progress.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
This varies for each child, but consistency is key. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. Our data shows that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve their academic results by at least one grade.
Can I track my child's progress?
Yes. After each lesson, the tutor will provide feedback for you and your child. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss their progress and agree on the focus for upcoming sessions. It's a partnership between you, your child, and the tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child also learn something like coding or a musical instrument?
We offer a huge range of subjects! While we're experts in core academic topics like English and Maths, you can also find brilliant tutors for skills like coding, learning the guitar, music production, and much more.
