Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is Key for Their Next Step
GCSE English is more than just a qualification; it’s the foundation for your child's future studies. Strong analytical skills, developed from exploring texts like 'An Inspector Calls' or crafting persuasive arguments, are essential for almost every A-Level subject. Securing a great grade opens doors to the courses they want at local colleges and sets them on the right path for universities like Sussex or Brighton.

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
Can a tutor help my child get the GCSE English grade needed for BHASVIC or Varndean College?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet specific college entry requirements. They can focus on the key skills and exam techniques needed to secure the higher grades required for popular A-Level courses, giving your child the best possible chance of getting a place.
My child is considering applying to the University of Sussex. Can tutoring help with that?
Yes. A strong GCSE English grade is a key building block for a successful UCAS application. Our tutors can help your child develop the critical thinking and writing skills that universities look for, setting them up for success not just in their A-Levels but in their future university studies too.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can view each tutor's profile to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to explain your child's goals. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What 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.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all tutors must have a valid DBS background check. We only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. You can see the price on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget with no hidden costs.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and document sharing features, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work together, just as they would in person.
Can tutoring help my child if they've lost their confidence?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor creates a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without fear of being judged. Rebuilding that self-belief is often the first step towards better grades.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson each week works best, especially in the run-up to exams. However, it's completely flexible and you can arrange a schedule that works for your child with their tutor.
What results can I expect?
We're proud that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. For GCSEs, our support has been shown to improve results by up to two grades. You can join a community of over 200,000 happy students who have found success with Tutorful.
How long will my child need tutoring for?
It really depends on your child's goals. Some students need a few sessions to prepare for an exam, while others benefit from ongoing weekly support throughout the school year. You are in complete control and there are no contracts or minimum commitments.
Do you only offer tutoring for academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get ahead in coding, or explore a new language, we have expert tutors who can help them pursue their passions.
