Rob R
Expert GCSE English Tutor
22 students received their GCSE results this year - my biggest Y11 cohort yet, and with record success: 🎓 76% achieved top grades (7–9). 🍎 Every single student improved by at least one grade - and 80% jumped by two grades or more. ✏️ Four students were previously struggling at grade 3 - all passed, and two went on to secure a grade 6. 🏫 One student rose from a grade 4 at the end of Year 10 to a grade 9 at GCSE! Because I had so many students finishing their GCSEs this year, it means I have more spaces from September.Emails from students on GCSE Results Day:Student 1 (Edexcel IGCSE English): "Dea...

John H
Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Megan G
Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.
I am truly grateful for everything and cannot recommend Megan highly enough.

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.

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child is preparing for the 11+ for Spalding Grammar School. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation, including verbal and non-verbal reasoning, and English comprehension. You can filter for tutors with this specific experience to find the perfect match to support your child.
We're aiming for a top grade in GCSE English to get into a competitive sixth form. Can a tutor focus on that?
Definitely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students aim for the highest grades. They can work with your child on specific exam board requirements, refine their essay technique, and build their confidence with challenging texts to help them secure that sixth form place.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check each tutor's qualifications and experience on their profile. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking a lesson to ensure you find a great fit.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you have the best experience. 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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and level of study, but you can easily see each tutor's hourly rate on their profile. This transparency helps you find an expert tutor who fits your budget.
How do online lessons work?
Our lessons take place in a purpose-built online classroom with video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and document sharing. It's a secure and effective way for your child to learn directly from their tutor, no matter where you are.
My child has lost their confidence in English. How can a tutor help?
This is very common, and it's where one-to-one tuition really helps. A tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to work at their own pace and ask questions without fear of judgement. Rebuilding that confidence is often the first and most important step.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is identity and background-checked, and we personally interview them. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be confident your child is learning from a trusted professional.
What happens in a typical English tutoring session?
The tutor will tailor the session to your child's goals. It might involve working through a tricky piece of homework, practising exam questions, analysing a poem together on the interactive whiteboard, or planning an essay structure. It's always focused on what your child needs most.
How many lessons will my child need?
This is completely flexible and depends on your goals. Some parents book a few sessions to prepare for a specific exam, while others prefer regular weekly lessons to provide consistent support throughout the school year. You can discuss this directly with your tutor.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn something else?
While we cover all academic subjects from Primary to degree level, we also have amazing tutors who teach hobbies and skills like learning guitar, coding, creative writing, or even public speaking. There's a tutor for almost any goal.
How do I know if tutoring is making a difference?
Tutors provide regular feedback on your child's progress. Most importantly, you'll likely see a change in your child's confidence and attitude towards their studies. With 90% of students improving by at least one grade, you can feel reassured that you're making a great investment.
