Why a Strong English GCSE Opens Doors for Your Child
English isn't just about analysing poetry or spelling correctly; it's the key that unlocks almost every other subject. Strong English Language and Literature skills are essential for getting into sought-after courses at college and sixth form. From crafting a compelling essay on 'An Inspector Calls' to clearly communicating ideas in other subjects, the confidence your child builds in English will help them across all their studies and give them a huge advantage when it comes to university applications and future job interviews.

Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic English Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Janan S
Janan is such a great tutor! She explains things really well and is able to fully break down areas I struggle with in English and make it easy to follow. She is also very personable and creates an easy atmosphere and is very understanding when I am behind in assignments for her, having a very dedicated work ethic, making up for what I lack. She creates a very welcoming environment and I genuinely do enjoy our lessons. Also she has helped direct me towards revision strategy’s as well so I do feel I have improved too in that areas and in English in general too. Would strongly recommend!

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.

Are tutors familiar with the GCSE English curriculum my child studies in Sudbury?
Yes. Our tutors are UK-based and have extensive experience with all major exam boards, including AQA, Edexcel, and OCR. They understand exactly what examiners are looking for and can tailor their support to the specific curriculum your child's school follows.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps you find someone with the right personality and teaching style to connect with your child.
How much does online English tutoring cost in Sudbury?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find someone who fits your budget. The cost is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so there are no hidden fees.

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, a shared whiteboard, and tools for editing documents together in real-time. It’s a secure and engaging way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
My child is really anxious about their English exams. Can a tutor help with that?
Definitely. A one-to-one tutor can be a huge help in reducing exam stress. By breaking down difficult topics, practising past papers, and building a strong understanding of the subject, they help replace anxiety with confidence and a clear, achievable plan.
What if we don't click with the first tutor we try?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How quickly will we see an improvement in my child's English grades?
Every child learns at a different pace, but many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. This renewed self-belief is often the first step towards better results. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.

Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. All our tutors must pass an identity check and have an enhanced DBS check. We are very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is in safe, expert hands.
Do you only offer tutoring for school subjects like English?
While we cover all academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have tutors for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, master coding, or speak a new language, we can help them explore their passions.
My child has a specific learning need. Can I find a suitable tutor?
Yes. Many of our tutors have experience supporting students with specific learning needs. You can read about their experience on their profiles and we always recommend messaging them before booking to discuss your child's requirements and ensure they are the right fit.
How often should my child have a lesson?
It's completely flexible and up to you. Most families find a weekly session works well for consistent progress, but you can also arrange fortnightly lessons or book extra sessions for intensive revision before an exam. You can discuss the best approach with your chosen tutor.
