Why a Strong GCSE in English Opens Doors for Your Child
More than just another subject, English is a core qualification that post-16 providers and future employers look at first. It's the key that unlocks access to the A-Level courses your child is excited about. The ability to analyse a complex poem, structure a persuasive argument, or understand the nuances of a text like 'An Inspector Calls' are skills for life. A great grade in English shows they can communicate clearly and think critically, setting a strong foundation for success at college, university, and in their future career.

Rachel B
Enthusiastic tutor of Food, Nutrition and English.
I have been teaching Food and Nutrition to GCSE standard in secondary schools for over 20 years. This has involved me planning, preparing and delivering both theory and practical lessons for students, always endeavouring to make the subject as fun and engaging as possible. Very often students opt for this subject at GCSE believing it is ' just cooking' but there is so much more to it than that! Particularly in recent times, the amount of food science content in the Food curriculum has really increased, and this can be quite daunting for students to get to grips with. I really enjoy helping them...

Flora I
Flora is a very patient, professional and well-prepared tutor. She always explains things clearly and teaches my son how to answer GCSE questions in a structured way. She provides homework, goes through mistakes carefully, and shows him how to improve his answers step by step. She also adjusts her teaching according to my son’s exam boards and level. My son is less anxious about English now and is slowly gaining confidence. We are very happy with her support and would definitely recommend her.
She is especially good at supporting students who are weaker in English and need clear guidance and structure.

Megan is a wonderful tutor!
My son has really enjoyed the sessions with her and she adapts them to ensure he is fully understanding the teaching.
Megan provides an overview of feedback after to each session which allows me to understand what she has covered in the session and how to future support my son.
I cannot recommend her enough!!

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to study A-Levels at Chichester College. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE English grade?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students secure the specific GCSE grades needed for entry into competitive post-16 providers like Chichester College and Bishop Luffa. They can focus on the exact areas of the curriculum your child needs to strengthen to meet those entry requirements.
We're worried about the step up from The Selsey Academy. Can a tutor help with that transition?
Definitely. A tutor can be a fantastic source of support during the transition to GCSEs and beyond. They can help bridge any knowledge gaps, build study skills, and boost your child's confidence so they feel fully prepared for the challenges of Key Stage 4 and their future A-Level studies.
How do I choose the best 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, as a positive relationship is key to building confidence and making progress.
How much does online English tuition cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £15 per hour. You can filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit. With 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 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 document sharing, so it's just like being in the same room. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one attention in a safe, supportive space can do wonders for a child's confidence. Tutors can celebrate small wins, patiently explain tricky concepts until they click, and tailor their teaching style to make learning enjoyable and empowering.
Are your tutors qualified to teach GCSE English?
Yes, many of our tutors are qualified teachers or subject matter experts with extensive experience in the GCSE English curriculum. You can view each tutor's qualifications, experience, and reviews on their profile to find the right match for your child.
Can a tutor help with specific texts like 'Macbeth' or poetry?
Of course. That's one of the main benefits of one-to-one tuition. If your child is struggling with a particular book, play, or poetry cluster, their tutor can dedicate entire lessons to analysing quotes, understanding themes, and practising exam-style questions on that specific text.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or could my child learn something creative like music or a new language?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, master a new language, or even get into coding, you can find experienced tutors to help them explore their passions.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with regular tuition. Consistent weekly lessons often lead to the most noticeable improvements in both confidence and academic results.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life can be busy, we get it. You can easily manage your schedule through the platform. Our tutors have a 24-hour cancellation policy, so as long as you give them at least 24 hours' notice, you can reschedule your lesson for a more convenient time without any charge.
