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.

Over the past few months, Megan has been an incredible support for my son during what has been a very challenging period for him. Her patience and encouragement has made a huge difference not only to his English and maths skills but also to his confidence and attitude towards learning.
Megan has adapted each lesson to his needs, finding creative ways to help him stay engaged. It’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of thought and effort into her teaching.

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.
