Why a Strong GCSE in English Opens Doors for Your Child
Getting a great GCSE English result is about more than just a certificate. It's the key that unlocks your child's future choices. A strong pass (a Grade 6 or above) is often essential for the A-Level courses they'll need to apply for top universities like Exeter or Bristol. The skills they build – from analysing a quote in 'Macbeth' to structuring a persuasive argument – are the core communication and critical thinking tools they will use for the rest of their lives, in their studies and their future career.

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.

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.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child prepare for the academic step-up to a college like Petroc or Exeter College?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students make the transition from GCSE to A-Level. They can work with your child to build the analytical skills, essay-writing techniques, and independent study habits needed to feel confident and prepared for a more demanding academic environment.
My child is aiming for a top university like Exeter or Bristol. Can an English tutor help with this?
Yes, many of our tutors have experience supporting students with university applications. They can help your child develop the high-level critical thinking and communication skills that top universities look for, ensuring their academic work and personal statement truly stand out.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their experience. We recommend messaging a few to discuss your child's specific goals. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English 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.
Are all your tutors based in the UK and background-checked?
Yes, every tutor on our platform is based in the UK and undergoes a thorough vetting process. This includes an identity check and a mandatory DBS background check to ensure your child's safety and your peace of mind.
How much does an online English tutor cost in South Molton?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary based on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter your search by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget, with prices starting from £15 per hour.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a stable internet connection, a webcam, and a microphone.
Can tutoring help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Definitely. One-to-one tutoring is a fantastic way to rebuild confidence. In a supportive, patient environment, your child can ask questions they might not feel comfortable asking in class, and lessons are tailored to their pace, helping them achieve small wins that build into big successes.
We live near South Molton. Does the tutor need to be local too?
No, and that's the great thing about online tutoring! Your child can connect with the very best English tutors from across the UK, not just those who live nearby. This gives you a much wider choice of specialists to find the perfect match for your child's needs.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one session a week works best for consistent progress. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange lessons with your tutor as often as you need, whether that's for a regular boost or for some extra help before an important exam.
Do you offer tutoring for subjects other than English?
Yes, we do! We have expert tutors across hundreds of subjects, from core academic topics like Maths and Science to languages, music, and even practical skills like coding. You can find support for all of your child's interests on our platform.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
The standard lesson length is one hour. This gives enough time to cover a topic in detail without your child losing focus. You can, however, discuss different session lengths with your tutor if you feel your child would benefit from it.
