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. Strong English skills aren't just about analysing Shakespeare or writing essays; they're about clear communication and critical thinking – skills your child will use for the rest of their life, in any career they choose.

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.

George B
Creative English tutor
IntroductionHello. I’m George, and my aim as a tutor is to help students develop an understanding that lasts through their schoolwork, homework, and exams. I work toward this goal with patience, teaching in a relaxed way and challenging students as their confidence in a topic grows. Approach to lessonsDuring the first lesson, I often ask pupils to attempt some questions independently to gauge their ability. After this, we will work together on the difficult portions of the work, and I may use drawings, real-life situations and metaphors to explain specific rules or principles. My goal is to guide s...

Alina W
Effective English tutor
Hello my name is Alina, and I’m a dentistry student. I have excellent A levels and GCSE grades being an A* student and have had tutoring experience before with children aged 5-17 years old. My students have always loved my lessons as I make sure that each child understands the lesson or what they have chosen to work on before leaving.My teaching style is unique as rather telling the students what they’re doing today, they themselves would email me a couple of days before telling me they want to do this topic today. This meant that the student has control of their own learning and working on the...

Kathy F
Creative English tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior). I would help...

Holly E
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.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

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 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.
