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...

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
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.
