Why Strong English Grades Open Doors for Your Child
More than just another subject, English teaches your child how to think critically and communicate their ideas clearly – skills they'll use for the rest of their lives. From crafting persuasive arguments in an English Literature essay to understanding different viewpoints for English Language, these abilities are crucial. Strong GCSE results are often non-negotiable for getting into the best local sixth forms and are highly valued by top universities like the University of Nottingham, keeping your child's future options wide open.

Abdul M
Passionate and Experienced English Tutor
Since the age of 17, I have been teaching Maths, English and the Sciences to members of my family as well as to students of various ages and abilities. By having a high variance in my student's abilities I am able to teach complex concepts in simple terms, this allows for the student to no longer feel anxious on a topic matter. I am offering to teach from primary all the way up to A level in various subjects. My strongest topics are the sciences and mathematics but I am also more than capable to teach English up to KS3. Furthermore, I have a vast amount of experience teaching younger children in...

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 attends The Joseph Whitaker School. Can we find a tutor familiar with the GCSE English curriculum?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced teachers and examiners who are very familiar with the AQA, Edexcel and other exam board specifications used in schools like The Joseph Whitaker School. You can check each tutor's profile for their specific experience or ask them directly in a message before you book.
We're aiming for top grades in English to help with future university applications. Can a tutor help?
Yes. A tutor can provide the focused support needed to push for the highest grades. They can help your child master advanced essay techniques, deepen their textual analysis, and refine their exam strategy, which is excellent preparation for competitive courses at universities like the University of Nottingham.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
The best place to start is by looking at tutor profiles. You can read reviews from other parents, see their experience, and check their qualifications. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to explain your child's needs and see who feels like the best fit for their personality and learning style.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, 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. Tutors set their own hourly rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check. We also interview every applicant and are very selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 who apply, ensuring your child learns from the best.
How can tutoring help improve my child's GCSE English grade?
Our data shows that 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and for GCSEs specifically, we can help students improve by up to two grades. A tutor provides personalised attention that isn't always possible in a busy classroom, focusing on the specific areas your child needs to strengthen to boost their results.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one lesson, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. As their tutor helps them overcome challenges and they start to see their own progress, their self-belief in their English abilities naturally grows.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. A tutor might work through a specific poem with your child, plan an essay structure on the whiteboard, or review a piece of homework together to provide instant feedback.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is a great starting point for consistent progress. However, the frequency is completely up to you. You can discuss what's best for your child's goals with your chosen tutor.
How do online lessons work?
It's simple! All you need is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection. Lessons happen in our purpose-built online classroom, so there's no need to download any complicated software.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the school curriculum. So, once your child has aced their English essays, they could also learn skills like coding, Python, playing the guitar, or even a new language with one of our other expert tutors.
