Why a Top English Grade is Key for Their Next Step
English isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for your child's future success. A strong GCSE grade is often a non-negotiable requirement for competitive A-Level courses and respected universities like the University of Sheffield. Mastering skills like analysing quotes in 'Macbeth' or structuring a compelling essay doesn't just earn marks – it develops the critical thinking and communication skills they'll need for any career path they choose.

Megan G
Megan is a wonderful tutor!
My son has really enjoyed the sessions with her and she adapts them to ensure he is fully understanding the teaching.
Megan provides an overview of feedback after to each session which allows me to understand what she has covered in the session and how to future support my son.
I cannot recommend her enough!!

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

I just wanted to send you a heartfelt thank-you for the English lessons you gave my son. After only three sessions with you, he managed to pass — and we couldn’t be happier! He really enjoyed your lessons and said you made everything easy to understand and enjoyable.I truly appreciate the time, patience, and encouragement you gave him. It’s made a huge difference to his confidence and attitude toward English. Thanks again for all your help — we’re both very grateful!

Amazing tutor! I went from a weak grade 3 in English Language to being just one mark off a 6. Lessons were clear, supportive, and really boosted my confidence. I couldn’t have done it without their help and would 100% recommend.

Ameena tutored our son for an English language retake and he got an 8! He went up 3 grades from a 5. Her tutoring was focussed and responsive and she did it all over about 7 weeks. Could not ask for more. Thank you so much Ameena!

Sam H
I started working with Sam quite late in the A-Level year, but despite the limited time he put in so much effort and support. He completely rebuilt my confidence in English Language and helped take me from a B to an A — the first A I’d ever achieved in English, and I got it in my actual A-Levels. He had me writing answers every week and always gave incredibly thorough, clear feedback that really helped me improve quickly. I genuinely wouldn’t have achieved my grade without him and can’t recommend him enough.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to go to a competitive Sheffield sixth form like Tapton. Can a tutor help them get the high English grade needed?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors specialise in helping students move from a good grade to a great one. They can focus on the specific exam techniques and deeper analysis required to achieve the top marks needed for entry into competitive sixth forms.
We live in Stocksbridge. Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum for local schools?
Yes. Our tutors are experienced with the national curriculum used in all UK schools, including those in and around Sheffield. Many have specific experience helping students prepare for the standards expected by local colleges and grammar schools.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
We make it easy to find the perfect match. You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and watch short introductory videos. You can also message tutors for free to chat about your child's needs before booking a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
Your peace of mind is our priority. We have a first lesson guarantee, which means 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 can an online tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
One-to-one lessons create a safe space for your child to ask questions without the pressure of a classroom. Tutors build a rapport, celebrate small wins, and explain tricky concepts in a way that makes sense to them, which is a fantastic way to boost their self-belief.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can filter your search by price to find a brilliant tutor who fits your budget.
Will tutoring really help my child get a better GCSE grade?
We see fantastic results every day. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and our focused support has been shown to help students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades. It's why over 200,000 students have trusted us to help them succeed.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is paramount. All our tutors must have a valid DBS check and we personally interview every single one. We're very selective, and only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons are tailored to your child's needs. A session might involve working through a tricky piece of homework, practising essay-writing skills on an interactive whiteboard, analysing a poem together, or focusing on exam strategies for an upcoming test.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is designed to be simple and effective. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and diagrams, and a document uploader. It's a great way to have a face-to-face lesson from the comfort of your own home.
How long are the sessions and how often should we have them?
Most lessons are one hour long, which is usually ideal. Most parents find that one session a week is a great starting point, but you can arrange a schedule that works best for your child and their tutor.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core academic subjects like English, Maths and Science, you can also find brilliant tutors for music, languages, coding, and much more.
