Why a Strong GCSE English Grade Opens Doors for Your Child
English isn't just another subject; it's the key to unlocking so many others. The ability to analyse a complex quote from 'Macbeth' or structure a persuasive essay is a skill they'll use across all their A-Level studies. A strong GCSE grade in English gives your child the best possible chance of securing a place on their chosen sixth form courses, and it forms the foundation for writing a compelling university personal statement later on.

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.

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 The Polesworth School. Can a tutor help them aim for top GCSE grades?
Absolutely. Our tutors specialise in helping students move from a good grade to a great one. They can work with your child on the specific skills needed to secure a top grade in GCSE English, focusing on exam technique, essay structure, and in-depth textual analysis to help them stand out.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Warwick or Birmingham. Can a tutor help?
Yes. While our tutors provide excellent GCSE and A-Level support, they can also help your child develop the critical thinking and writing skills that are essential for success at competitive universities. This includes help with crafting a strong personal statement for their UCAS application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introduction videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them for free to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding the right personality and teaching style to help your child feel confident and motivated.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our priority. All of our tutors are DBS-checked, and we interview every single one. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. There are no hidden fees or contracts. You simply pay for the lessons you book, making it easy to find experienced, high-quality support that fits your budget.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which features live video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It's a dynamic and engaging learning environment your child can access from the comfort of home.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
One-to-one tutoring provides a safe and supportive space for your child to ask questions and work at their own pace without the pressure of a full classroom. This personal attention often leads to 'lightbulb moments' that build confidence and a genuine enjoyment of the subject.
Can a tutor help with specific texts like 'An Inspector Calls' or poetry?
Yes, definitely. The beauty of one-to-one tutoring is that lessons are completely tailored. Your tutor can focus specifically on the set texts your child is studying for their GCSEs, helping them understand characters, themes, and context in detail.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we offer expert support in all core academic subjects, we also have tutors for a wide range of other skills and hobbies. From learning to code in Python to playing the guitar or speaking a new language, we're here to support all of your child's learning goals.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to dive into a topic without losing focus. However, you can discuss lesson length with your tutor to find what works best for your child's schedule and concentration.
How quickly can we start lessons?
You can get started very quickly. Many tutors have availability within the same week. Simply find a tutor you like, send them a message to check they're a good fit, and then book your first session directly from their calendar.
