Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is So Important
English isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for success across the board. Strong communication and analytical skills, like being able to confidently break down a quote from 'Macbeth' or structure a persuasive argument, are essential for A-Levels, university applications, and future careers. A great English grade shows colleges and employers that your child is a clear, critical thinker, ready for the next step.

Welcome to my profile. I'm an experienced online tutor, who has been teaching English Language & Literature, and Religious Studies online since 2013.

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.

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form like Hills Road. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors can help your child develop the skills and confidence to aim high. By focusing on specific areas of the English curriculum, they can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to two grades. This academic boost, combined with newfound confidence, can make a significant difference in their applications.
Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum at Sawtry Village Academy?
Our tutors are experienced with all major UK exam boards, like AQA and Edexcel, which are used by schools across the country, including Sawtry Village Academy. They can tailor their support to the specific texts and exam requirements your child is working on, ensuring the tutoring is perfectly aligned with their schoolwork.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It’s easy to find the perfect match. You can filter tutors by subject and level, read their detailed profiles, and watch their introductory videos to get a feel for their personality and teaching style. You can also message tutors before booking to discuss your child's needs.
What 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 can an online tutor help build my child's confidence?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe and encouraging space for your child to ask questions without the pressure of a classroom. When a tutor focuses entirely on them, they can celebrate small wins and overcome challenges together, which is a fantastic way to build self-belief.
How much does online English tutoring cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, so you can find an experienced, high-quality tutor that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, with no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked, and we interview every applicant. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child and their tutor can talk, write, and collaborate just as they would in person.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find tutors for everything from learning the guitar and coding to modern languages and music theory.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them at any time to discuss how things are going. Seeing your child's confidence grow and their school results improve is often the clearest sign of success.
How long is a typical lesson?
Most lessons are one hour long, as this gives enough time to cover a topic in depth without being overwhelming. However, you can arrange different lesson lengths with your tutor to suit your child's needs and concentration span.
What happens if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
We understand that life can be busy. You can easily manage your lessons through the platform. We have a fair cancellation policy which typically requires 24 hours' notice, but you can see the specific details on your chosen tutor's profile.
