Strong English Grades: The Key to Your Child's Next Steps
GCSE English isn't just about analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' or understanding poetry; it's the foundation for so much more. It teaches your child how to think critically, build a convincing argument, and communicate clearly – skills that top colleges and universities like Sussex and Brighton look for. A strong pass in both English Language and Literature is often a non-negotiable requirement, opening up a wider range of A-level choices and future career paths.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child has their heart set on BHASVIC or Varndean College. Can a tutor help with the specific GCSE English grades they need?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are experienced in helping students aim for the top grades needed for competitive sixth form colleges. They can focus on the specific analytical and essay-writing skills that will help your child's application stand out.
We live in Saltdean. Are the tutors familiar with the local education system and expectations at universities like Sussex or Brighton?
Yes, many of our UK-based tutors have experience with the curriculum and expectations for progression to top universities. During your free video chat with a tutor, you can ask about their specific experience helping students prepare for university-level study.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can filter tutors by experience and price, read reviews from other parents, and watch their short introduction videos. We recommend shortlisting a few and sending them a message to arrange a free video chat to make sure they're the perfect fit for your child.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just 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?
Our tutors set their own prices, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. There are no hidden fees or subscriptions. You simply pay for the lessons you book, and prices start from £15 per hour.
Are all your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has been through a background check, including an ID check and a DBS check if they are based in the UK. We also interview every single tutor to ensure they are right for our students.
How does online tutoring actually 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, allowing your child and their tutor to focus on learning.
Can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Definitely. A one-to-one tutor can provide a safe and encouraging space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's confidence and foster a positive attitude towards learning.
What's the difference between tutoring for English Language and English Literature?
English Language focuses on reading non-fiction, creative writing, and analysing how language is used to persuade or inform. English Literature is about studying set texts like novels, plays, and poetry, focusing on themes, characters, and context. Many tutors cover both.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This is completely up to you and your child's needs. Most families find that a one-hour session per week is a great starting point for consistent progress, but you can arrange a schedule that works for you directly with your tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English, or can you help with other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to code in Python, play the guitar, or even pick up a new language, you can find an expert tutor on Tutorful.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today. Simply search for a tutor, send them a message, and you could be having your first lesson in as little as 24 hours. There are no long-term commitments or contracts.
