It's the foundation they'll need for A-Levels at Ashton Sixth Form College and is essential for getting into top northern universities like Manchester.

The Right English Support, Tailored for Your Child
We believe the best learning happens when a tutor truly understands your child. That's why we're so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Your child's tutor will take the time to get to know their learning style, pinpoint exactly where they need help – whether it's structuring an essay or understanding poetic techniques – and build a genuine rapport that makes learning feel positive and supportive. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's specific English goals. If they're struggling with analysing quotes from 'Macbeth', their tutor will focus the entire session on that until they feel confident. It's this focused approach that helps 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and can even boost your child's GCSE result by up to two grades. Juggling school, homework, and family life is busy enough. Online tutoring fits around your schedule. You can find the perfect, background-checked English tutor from anywhere in the UK, without worrying about travel. Lessons happen in our interactive online classroom, so all your child needs is a laptop and an internet connection to get the support they need, right from your home in Stalybridge.

I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities.

Hadika M
Dedicated English tutor
As a Chemical Engineering graduate from the University of Manchester, I saw firsthand how many of my classmates struggled with Maths and English. It wasn't just a few; it was a common challenge. Seeing their difficulties sparked something in me. I found that I genuinely loved helping them understand concepts that seemed confusing. The feeling of watching them grasp a difficult idea was incredibly rewarding, and that's when I discovered my passion for teaching.I strongly disagree with the idea that people are naturally "good" at one subject and "bad" at another. I believe that anyone can learn anything...

Frances H
Frances has been helping my daughter with English and SPaG in preparation for her SATs and after just a few sessions, I’ve seen a difference. She sets weekly homework, takes a genuine interest in my daughter’s week and makes learning fun by playing games like hangman to aid spelling. My daughter is engaged and is starting to really grasp the content. Frances is patient, encouraging and explains things clearly, which has already boosted my daughter’s confidence.

Alexander A
We are 3 lessons in and already I can see the difference in confidence it has given my son. Alex has been great at engaging in sessions that are interactive, which suit my son's learning style. He is focusing on areas of weakness and breaking things down simply to give him the tools to improve his grades. Time will tell, but so far we are both really happy.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to Ashton Sixth Form College. Can a tutor help them secure the right English grade?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are very experienced with the GCSE curriculum and know what's needed to secure a Grade 5 or higher. They can focus specifically on the skills and knowledge required to help your child feel confident and meet the entry requirements for colleges like Ashton Sixth Form.
We're hoping for a place at the University of Manchester eventually. Is it too early to think about that?
It's never too early to build a strong foundation. A solid GCSE in English is the first step on that path. Our tutors can help your child develop the deep analytical and communication skills that top universities like Manchester look for, setting them up for success in their A-Levels and beyond.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend looking for a tutor whose experience matches your child's needs – whether that's GCSE exam preparation or help with creative writing. You can also message tutors beforehand to make sure it's a good fit.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have a First Lesson Guarantee. If for any reason you don't get on with your first tutor, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. This is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. A great tutor provides a safe, encouraging space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they can help rebuild your child's self-belief.
How much does an online English tutor in Stalybridge cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, so your child and their tutor can work through texts, plan essays, and analyse examples just as they would in person. All your child needs is a computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Are the tutors' backgrounds checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor on our platform has undergone a background check. We are also very selective, only accepting 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
Do you only offer help for school subjects like English?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas! Whether your child wants to learn a musical instrument like the guitar, get ahead with coding, or even learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor on Tutorful.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the English GCSE, like the poetry anthology?
Yes, definitely. The great thing about one-to-one tuition is that it's completely tailored. If your child finds the poetry anthology particularly challenging, their tutor can dedicate entire sessions to understanding the themes, language, and structure of the poems to build their confidence.
How long is a typical tutoring session?
Most sessions are one hour long, which is usually the perfect amount of time to cover a topic in depth without losing focus. However, you can arrange different session lengths directly with your chosen tutor to fit your child's needs.
How do I know if my child is making progress?
Tutors will provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also see their confidence grow as they start to engage more in class and feel better about their schoolwork. With 90% of our students improving by at least one grade, you can feel reassured that you're making a great investment.
