Why a Top Grade in English is Vital for Your Child's Next Steps
More than just a core subject, a high grade in English is the key that unlocks opportunities. It's essential for getting into competitive A-Level courses and is highly respected by Russell Group universities. The skills your child develops, from crafting a compelling argument in an essay on 'An Inspector Calls' to closely analysing a line from Shakespeare, are skills for life. They build a foundation for clear communication and critical thinking, whatever career path your child chooses.

Give Your Child the One-to-One English Support They Need to Stand Out
The right tutor does more than just teach the curriculum; they build a real connection with your child. By understanding their unique learning style and where they might be struggling—whether it's with structuring an essay or understanding poetic techniques—they can provide guidance that feels personal and genuinely helpful. We handpick the best tutors from across the UK, with only 1 in 8 applicants making it onto our platform, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
Every lesson is designed around your child's specific needs. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, a tutor can focus an entire session on analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' or mastering the unseen poetry section if that's what's needed. This targeted support is why 90% of students improve by at least one grade, helping your child build confidence and turn tricky topics into their strongest areas.
Finding that support shouldn't add to your busy schedule. With Tutorful, you can connect with the perfect English tutor from the comfort of your home, at a time that works for your family. Join over 200,000 happy students who have found the support they need to succeed.

Becca C
Creative English tutor
I have my (2.1) BA in English Literature from The University of Sheffield and have been an online tutor for two years. To date, I've taught over 3,000 lessons, from KS1 to A-Level which has enabled me to adapt my teaching style and content to different students.For example, when I tutored a student with ADHD I increased the number of activities while reducing the length to ensure they remained engaged with the lesson.Conversely, when tutoring one of my A-Level students with anxiety, I slowed the lesson pace and used fewer activities to reduce stress. In lessons, I predominately use visual learning...

Anna helped my son and his friend prepare for their GCSEs. My son has dyslexia and has always avoided English but Anna has helped him to feel more confident. His mock grades improved and both the boys feel much more confident as they prepare to tackle the exams. Thank you Anna

Rhian has been helping my son prepare for his GCSE’s for a few months now.. My son is very shy and had a late (year 9) diagnosis of dyslexia.. Rhian is kind, patient and understanding. Rhian has helped my son become a lot more confident with English over the past few months. Rhian has even changed her schedule to help with his exam timetable. Would highly recommend Rhian

Michael L
We are very pleased with the support and guidance our son has received from Michael. He explains clearly and thoroughly, which has really helped our son improve his understanding.
What we appreciate most is the detailed feedback he gives on assignments. His comments are extremely useful because they clearly explain exactly what needs improvement, rather than giving only general remarks. This helps our son understand his weaknesses and work on them.

Richard B
Richard is an excellent tutor. Alisa connected with him from the very first lesson (which is rare!) and he’s been consistently kind, calm and professional. He supported her with both English and Maths, always working on the areas she was struggling with and explaining things in a way that really made sense to her. Richard also sent helpful feedback after every lesson, which I really appreciated as a parent. We’ve seen a real improvement in Alisa’s confidence and her results at school. We’re very grateful and would absolutely recommend him.
