Why a Strong English GCSE is So Important for Their Future
English isn't just another subject; it's a foundation for success. Strong analytical and communication skills are essential for almost every path your child might choose. Whether they're analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' or structuring a persuasive essay, they're building skills for life. Achieving a good grade in GCSE English is the first step towards securing a place on competitive A-Level courses at the Isle of Wight College, and later, at universities like Portsmouth or Southampton.

Personalised English Tutoring to Help Your Child Thrive
Finding the right support for your child can make all the difference. We believe in a personal approach, which is why we're so careful about the tutors we choose—we only accept 1 in every 8 who apply. Our tutors are experts in their field, and they take the time to understand your child's unique learning style, pinpointing exactly where they need a bit of extra help, whether it's with poetry analysis or exam technique. Every one-to-one lesson is tailored specifically for your child. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, the tutor will focus on the exact topics your child finds tricky. This means they can spend a whole session on algebra or work through past papers for their English Language GCSE, making real, noticeable progress. It's an effective way to learn, with 90% of our students improving by at least one grade. With our simple online platform, you can find the perfect background-checked tutor and start lessons in no time, all from the comfort of your home in Sandown. There's no travel, just flexible, effective support that fits around your family's schedule. It's why we're trusted by over 200,000 students and have a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews.

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

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 grades needed for the Isle of Wight College?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for specific goals. They can focus on the GCSE English curriculum to help your child build the skills and confidence needed to secure a grade 5 or higher, giving them the best chance of accessing their desired A-Level courses.
My child is hoping to study at a mainland university like Portsmouth. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. A strong foundation at GCSE is the first step. Tutors can not only help secure the necessary grades but also support with A-Level studies and even offer guidance on personal statements and university entrance requirements, helping your child build a strong application.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also send them a message before booking to discuss your child's specific needs and goals.
What happens 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 do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant to ensure they are an expert in their subject. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How much does an online English tutor 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 someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How can online tutoring help my child improve their GCSE English grades?
Our focused, one-to-one approach is proven to work. Tutors can tailor lessons to your child's needs, helping them overcome specific challenges. In fact, our data shows that we can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
My child lacks confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. Tutors provide positive reinforcement and celebrate small wins, which helps build self-esteem and a more positive attitude towards learning.
How can a tutor help with both English Language and Literature?
Many of our English tutors are experts in both parts of the GCSE curriculum. They can help your child switch between analysing a Shakespearean sonnet in one lesson to mastering persuasive writing techniques in the next, ensuring they feel prepared for both exams.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons take place in our online classroom, which features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might work through a past paper with your child, help them plan an essay, or break down a difficult text together, all in a live, collaborative session.
Beyond English, what other subjects do you offer?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. So whether your child needs help with Maths or Science, wants to learn a new language like Spanish, or is keen to pick up a new skill like coding or playing the guitar, you can find an expert tutor to help.
How long are the lessons and how often should they be?
Lessons are typically an hour long, which gives enough time to cover a topic in detail. Most parents find that one session a week is a great starting point, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child and your family with your chosen tutor.
