Why a Strong English Grade is Key to Your Child's Future
GCSE English is more than just a qualification; it's the foundation for so much of your child's future learning. The skills they develop, whether it's analysing a complex text like 'An Inspector Calls' or structuring a persuasive argument, are exactly what they'll need for A-Levels and beyond. A good grade doesn't just open doors to further education; it gives them the confidence to communicate their ideas clearly, a skill they'll use for the rest of their lives.

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.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends Alleyne's Academy. Can a tutor help them meet the high expectations?
Absolutely. Many parents in Stone use our tutors to provide focused support that complements the excellent teaching at local schools. A tutor can help reinforce classroom learning, plug any gaps, and give your child the dedicated attention needed to tackle challenging topics and excel.
We're aiming for A-Levels and then university. How can a tutor support this goal?
Our tutors are brilliant at building the foundational skills needed for higher education. They can help your child master the analytical and essay-writing techniques essential for A-Level success, which in turn strengthens their applications to universities like Keele or Staffordshire.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to ask questions before you book. The best way is to find someone you think will connect well with your child's personality and learning style. You can even filter by experience with specific exam boards.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications, but you can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. All pricing is shown clearly on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden costs.
How can tutoring help my child with their confidence?
One-to-one lessons create a safe space for your child to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. When a tutor tailors lessons to their pace and helps them achieve small wins, their subject knowledge and self-belief grow together.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is interviewed by our team and must pass a background check before they can teach on the platform. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
What happens in a typical English lesson?
The lesson is shaped entirely around your child's needs. It could involve working through a tricky piece of homework, analysing quotes from 'Macbeth', practising exam techniques for a specific paper, or planning and writing an essay together on the interactive whiteboard.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is crucial for learning. 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.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam, a microphone, and a stable internet connection.
Can tutoring help my child improve their GCSE English grade?
Yes, it can make a significant difference. The focused, one-to-one support helps students target their weaker areas and build confidence. In fact, our data shows that we can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades.
How long are lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long, and most students have one session per week. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for your child and their tutor, whether that's a weekly slot or more frequent lessons in the run-up to an exam.
Is it just for core subjects, or can you help with other skills too?
While we have fantastic tutors for core subjects like English, Maths and Science, we also offer support in a huge range of other areas. You can find expert tutors for everything from learning a musical instrument like the guitar to coding languages like Python.
