Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is So Important
GCSE English isn't just about passing an exam; it's the foundation for your child's future studies and career. It teaches them how to communicate clearly, analyse complex ideas, and build a strong argument – whether they're breaking down a quote from 'Macbeth' or structuring a persuasive essay. These are the skills that colleges look for, and they're essential for success in A-Levels and at top universities like Exeter and Falmouth.

Jo D
Friendly and professional English tutor.
I believe that every child learns at different abilities, that's why my teaching strategy is a student centred approach.Lessons will be taught on a 1:1 basis or in a small group, and will be tailored to the individual students. I have worked in the maths department at a local secondary school for over 2 years.My roles there included tutoring several students in small groups that had been identified as having their education impacted by the pandemic, resulting in gaps in their education.I would liase with their teachers in order to implement the correct approach possible. Each student had 30 hours...

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 they need for Truro and Penwith College?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students secure the grades they need for competitive post-16 courses. They can identify the specific areas your child needs to work on – from exam technique to understanding the mark scheme – to help them feel prepared and confident in their GCSE English exams.
My child hopes to go to a university like Exeter or Falmouth one day. Can tutoring now help with that?
Yes, building a strong foundation now is key. A great GCSE English grade leads to better A-Level opportunities, which in turn strengthens their university application. A tutor can help your child develop the critical thinking and analytical skills that top universities look for in their students.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask about their experience. We recommend finding someone your child will connect with, who has a proven track record of helping students with similar goals.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is everything. 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 a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one attention in a safe, encouraging space makes a huge difference. A tutor can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and give your child the freedom to ask questions without feeling embarrassed, which is often the key to unlocking their confidence.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every single one. We are very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform.
How do the online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's designed to be simple and engaging, so they can focus on learning.
Can a tutor help with both English Language and English Literature?
Yes, many of our English tutors are experts in both and can create a learning plan that covers everything your child needs for their GCSEs, from analysing poetry in Literature to mastering persuasive writing in Language.
Do you only offer academic subjects?
While we have tutors for all core academic subjects, we also offer support in a wide range of other areas. You can find tutors for learning a musical instrument like the guitar, developing skills like coding, or even learning a new language.
How long are the tutoring sessions?
Lessons are typically an hour long, which we find is the perfect amount of time for students to stay focused and make real progress. However, you can discuss different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payments are simple and secure. You add your card details to your account, and we only charge you 24 hours after a lesson has been completed. You can easily track all your payments and lesson history from your Tutorful dashboard.
