Why Strong English Skills Open Doors for Your Child
A strong GCSE in English is more than just a grade; it's a key that unlocks your child's future. It's essential for getting into local colleges for A-Levels and is a requirement for top universities like Keele and Birmingham. Good English skills mean your child can analyse a quote from 'Macbeth' with clarity, structure a persuasive essay, and communicate their ideas effectively – skills they'll use for the rest of their lives.

Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020.

Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

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!

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
We're aiming for a place at Thomas Telford School or a Newport grammar. Can a tutor help with the 11+ English paper?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our English tutors specialise in 11+ preparation. They can help your child get to grips with comprehension, creative writing, and grammar, building their skills and confidence ahead of the entrance exams for competitive local schools.
My child hopes to study at a university like Keele or Birmingham. Can a tutor help with their A-Level English?
Definitely. Our A-Level English tutors are brilliant at helping students master complex texts and improve their essay writing. They can provide the focused support needed to secure top grades, and many can also offer guidance on crafting a compelling university personal statement.
How do I pick the right English tutor for my child?
You can browse tutor profiles to see their experience, qualifications, and read reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child feels comfortable with.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know that the right fit is important. 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 much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and the level of study. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Can a tutor help my child if they've lost their confidence in English?
Yes, this is one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring. A great tutor creates a safe and supportive space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By working at your child's pace, they help rebuild self-belief one step at a time.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all must have a valid DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can feel completely reassured.
How does online tutoring actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our online classroom, which has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
How quickly can we see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade with our tutors. For GCSE English, we can help students improve by up to two grades.
What are the benefits of one-to-one tutoring over a group class?
In a one-to-one session, the lesson is tailored completely to your child. The tutor can focus on the specific topics they find difficult, adapt to their learning style, and go at their pace, which isn't possible in a group setting.
Is tutoring just for school subjects like English, or can my child learn other skills?
While we have tutors for all academic subjects, we also offer support for a huge range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, we have a tutor who can help.
How do I book a lesson?
Once you've found a tutor you like, you can send them a message to check their availability and discuss your child's needs. From there, you can book and pay for your first lesson securely through the Tutorful platform.
