A grade 6 or above is often a requirement for the most sought-after A-Level courses, and the skills learned are essential for success at university and in their future career. From learning how to structure a persuasive essay to analysing the language in a poem, a strong grasp of English gives your child the communication and critical thinking skills they'll use for the rest of their lives.

Personalised English Tutoring to Build Your Child's Confidence
The right tutor does more than just teach; they build a real connection with your child. By understanding how they learn best, our tutors can adapt their approach to tackle the specific areas your child finds tricky. Whether it's analysing quotes from 'Macbeth' or getting to grips with grammar, they'll create a supportive space where it's okay to ask questions and make mistakes.
Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's needs. If they need to focus on exam technique for their English Language GCSE, the session will be geared towards that. If they're struggling with a particular text, their tutor will break it down in a way that makes sense to them. It’s this focused approach that helps 90% of our students improve by at least one grade.
Finding time for extra support can be tough, but online tutoring makes it simple. You can find a fully vetted, background-checked tutor who fits your family's schedule, with no need to travel. All your child needs is a laptop and an internet connection to get the expert help they need from the comfort of your home.

Matthew B
My son hated English and was let down both by his school teacher and another tutor on this platform. Desperate to help my son with his English GCSE I chanced upon Matthew’s profile on Tutorful.
Matthew tutored my son for English language and literature GCSEs- and my son’s confidence in English increased exponentially.
The English GCSE exams are tomorrow and my son is for the first time confident about facing an English exam. He is in the best position that he has ever been in his entire year for English.
Can’t thank Matthew enough for his support. My son commented that he might not miss English as subject but he will miss Matthew as a teacher- because Matthew is one of the best teachers ever.
If you are looking for an English tutor for your child- look no further and I say this in all honesty.

Tilly B
Tilly’s currently tutoring our yr9 son and we couldn’t be happier! After 2 years of struggling with both English and Science and refusing to even contemplate a tutor, he finally asked for help at the beginning of this school year. I’m delighted to say that in the time that Tilly’s been helping him, his grades have vastly improved. She’s been absolutely brilliant with him and he’s not once wanted to skip a lesson, I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough.
