Rob R
Expert GCSE English Tutor
22 students received their GCSE results this year - my biggest Y11 cohort yet, and with record success: 🎓 76% achieved top grades (7–9). 🍎 Every single student improved by at least one grade - and 80% jumped by two grades or more. ✏️ Four students were previously struggling at grade 3 - all passed, and two went on to secure a grade 6. 🏫 One student rose from a grade 4 at the end of Year 10 to a grade 9 at GCSE! Because I had so many students finishing their GCSEs this year, it means I have more spaces from September.Emails from students on GCSE Results Day:Student 1 (Edexcel IGCSE English): "Dea...

Megan G
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.

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child hopes to study English at the University of Oxford. Can a tutor help with their application?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are graduates from top Russell Group universities, including Oxford, and have first-hand experience with the application process. They can provide invaluable support with personal statements, admissions test preparation (like the ELAT), and interview practice, helping your child to present their passion for the subject confidently.
We're aiming for top grades at a competitive Oxfordshire school. Can we find a tutor with experience in this?
Yes, you can. Our platform allows you to view detailed tutor profiles, including their academic background and teaching experience. You can filter for tutors who specialise in helping students achieve the highest grades (8s and 9s at GCSE) and who understand the high standards expected by leading schools in and around Oxfordshire.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can start by using the filters on our search page to find tutors who specialise in the right level, from Key Stage 2 up to A-Level and beyond. Read their profiles to learn about their experience and teaching style, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality. You can also message tutors before booking to ask any specific questions you have.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
Finding the right fit is really important to us. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you feel the first tutor isn't the right match for your child for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single UK-based tutor on our platform has undergone a background check. We are also very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can feel completely confident in your choice.
How do online lessons work?
All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It features video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work through everything from essay plans to analysing texts together. All you need is a laptop or computer and a stable internet connection.
How can tutoring 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 be hesitant to ask in class. Tutors can break down difficult concepts, fill in any knowledge gaps, and celebrate small wins, which all helps to build your child’s self-belief.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. This transparency allows you to find an experienced, high-quality tutor whose rates fit within your family's budget.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the English curriculum, like GCSE poetry or A-Level coursework?
Definitely. That's one of the main benefits of one-to-one tuition. If there's a specific area your child finds challenging, the tutor can dedicate entire sessions to it. Whether it's mastering unseen poetry analysis or structuring their A-Level coursework, lessons can be completely tailored to what they need.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tutoring. For GCSEs, this can be as much as a two-grade improvement. The key is consistency, and you'll be able to see their confidence and understanding grow week by week.
Is tutoring just for academic subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?
It's for so much more! While we have experts in all academic subjects, you can also find tutors for hundreds of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, there's a tutor who can help them explore their interests.
What makes Tutorful different from other tutoring platforms?
We focus on finding the perfect match for your child. With over 4,100 customer reviews and an average rating of 4.6 stars, we're trusted by thousands of parents. Our combination of carefully vetted tutors, a purpose-built online classroom, and dedicated customer support helps create a learning experience that truly makes a difference for the 200,000+ happy students who have used Tutorful.
