Why a Strong GCSE in English Opens Doors for Your Child
A strong pass in English isn't just another qualification; it's a key that unlocks your child's future. It's essential for getting into college and is highly valued by top universities like York and Durham. More than that, the skills they learn – from analysing a quote in 'An Inspector Calls' to crafting a persuasive argument – are skills for life. They build confident communicators and critical thinkers, preparing your child for A-Levels, university, and whatever career path they choose.

David J
Experienced English Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is at Lady Lumley's and wants to get into sixth form at Scarborough or Malton. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the GCSE grades they need for their chosen sixth form. They can focus specifically on the English Language and Literature topics your child finds challenging, building both their skills and their confidence for exam day.
We're aiming for a competitive university like York or Durham. Can a tutor support A-Level English preparation?
Yes, we have many tutors who are experts at A-Level and beyond. They can help your child master the advanced analytical and essay-writing skills needed to achieve top grades and make their university application stand out.
What if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
Finding the right fit is so important, which is 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 do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and send messages to tutors before booking. We recommend finding someone whose teaching style and personality you think will click with your child. You can even filter by experience with specific exam boards.
How do you make sure your tutors are high-quality and safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and interviewed by our team. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted expert.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can expect to pay between £25 and £45 per hour. Tutors set their own rates, and you can easily filter by price to find someone who fits your budget.
Can tutoring help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Definitely. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is the confidence boost it provides. A tutor can create a supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and working at their own pace, which can make a huge difference.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might work through a past paper with your child, help them plan an essay, or break down a difficult poem, all tailored to what they need most.
How effective is online tutoring?
It's very effective! With over 200,000 happy students and a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews, we see the amazing results every day. The focused, one-to-one attention in a comfortable environment helps students make real progress.
How often should my child have lessons?
Most families start with one session a week, but it's completely flexible. You can arrange lessons as often as you feel your child needs them, whether that's a regular weekly slot or a few extra sessions in the run-up to an exam.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we're experts in core subjects like English and Maths, we also have brilliant tutors for a huge range of other skills. From learning to play the guitar or speak Spanish, to coding in Python, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
How quickly can we find a tutor and start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Many tutors can offer a lesson within a few days. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to check their availability, and you can book your first session straight away.
