Why a Strong GCSE in English Opens Doors for Your Child
GCSE English is more than just a qualification; it’s the key that unlocks future opportunities. The skills your child develops—from analysing quotes in 'An Inspector Calls' to structuring a persuasive essay—are exactly what top colleges and Russell Group universities look for. A great grade here doesn't just meet an entry requirement; it gives your child the foundational confidence to thrive in their A-Levels and beyond. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and for GCSEs, we can help boost results by up to two grades.

How an Online Tutor Can Help Your Child Thrive in English
The right tutor does more than just teach; they get to know your child as an individual. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you’re choosing from the best. They’ll take the time to understand how your child learns, what they find tricky, and what motivates them. This means they can create a supportive space where your child feels comfortable asking questions and building a genuine understanding of the subject. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child’s specific goals. If they need to focus on nailing their analysis of 'Macbeth' or getting to grips with unseen poetry, their tutor will tailor the session entirely to that. This focused approach helps fill in any gaps and builds momentum, turning 'I can't do this' into 'I understand'. It's why over 200,000 students have already found success with us. Finding the time for extra support shouldn't be another stress. With online English tuition, you can connect with a brilliant tutor from anywhere in the UK, fitting lessons easily around school, clubs, and family life in Uppermill. It’s a simple, flexible way to get your child the help they need, which is why over 4,100 parents have rated us 4.6/5 stars.

Alina W
Effective English tutor
Hello my name is Alina, and I’m a dentistry student. I have excellent A levels and GCSE grades being an A* student and have had tutoring experience before with children aged 5-17 years old. My students have always loved my lessons as I make sure that each child understands the lesson or what they have chosen to work on before leaving.My teaching style is unique as rather telling the students what they’re doing today, they themselves would email me a couple of days before telling me they want to do this topic today. This meant that the student has control of their own learning and working on the...

Kathy F
Creative English tutor
I am a Royal Holloway, University London graduate with a BA and MA, specialising in arts and humanities. I am very keen to help pupils to learn and fully understand what they might not get in a classroom environment. Whilst at school and even at university, I had one-on-one help and I would not have got the grades if it was not for this extra help. That is why I want to help those who may need the extra help to get the grades they want.I did my A levels at a school as opposed to a college and this gave me the experience to work with the lower parts of the school (junior and senior). I would help...

Nadiah K
Nadiah is an AMAZING English tutor.
Nadiah is very reliable, organised and efficient, prompting and guiding my son to keep on track outside of sessions aswell. I have had feedback from school after just a few months that the quality of my sons writing has improved significantly and teachers have asked if he has been doing anything different.
My son is also developing more of an interest in the subject which has been really nice to see.

Jeremy B
After the first lesson my son announced “That was amazing Mum, you need to watch the video, he was SUCH a good teacher”. This couldn’t have been more different to previous feedback on our attempts to find an English tutor. I’m delighted that Jeremy is structured in his lessons, but also his tone is very friendly and fun! My 12 year old son has Tourettes and ADHD, and has been quite unwell. It’s also done wonders for my mental health knowing Jeremy is guiding my son through English, after seeing the videos I do not have this skill! 100% recommend him!

Michelle P
Wonderful English Tutor!
Michelle has been an incredible English tutor for our daughter Sarah. She always starts each session with a fun “mind boggle,” which Sarah absolutely loves — it sets such a positive and energising tone for the lesson. From the moment she enters the class, Michelle makes Sarah smile.
Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and thoughtfully planned. Michelle brings a fantastic mix of humour, enthusiasm, and kindness to every session, and it truly shows in Sarah’s enjoyment and progress. She has a wonderful teaching style that keeps Sarah motivated and excited to learn.
We are so grateful for Michelle’s support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an English tutor who can make learning both effective and fun.
Thank you Michelle.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child hopes to go to Greenhead College or Oldham Sixth Form. Can a tutor help them achieve the GCSE English grade they need?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE English specialists and have extensive experience helping students secure the grade 6 or above needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on exam technique, essay writing, and building a deep understanding of the texts to help your child meet and exceed those entry requirements.
We live in Uppermill. Are the tutors familiar with the curriculum at schools like Saddleworth School?
Yes. Our tutors teach the national curriculum used in all state schools, including Saddleworth School. Many have experience with the specific exam boards and set texts used locally, so they can provide relevant and targeted support that complements what your child is learning in the classroom.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read tutor profiles, watch their introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend shortlisting a few and messaging them to discuss your child’s needs. Finding someone your child connects with is the most important first step.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right fit is essential for learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your 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 much does an online English tutor cost in Uppermill?
Our tutors set their own rates, with prices starting from £15 per hour. The price often reflects their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your family’s budget.
Are your tutors properly checked and qualified?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked with an enhanced DBS check. We also verify their ID and interview every applicant, accepting only 1 in 8 to ensure the highest quality of teaching.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. All they need is a laptop or computer with a microphone, a camera, and a stable internet connection.
How can online tuition help my child if they're feeling anxious about their exams?
A one-to-one tutor can provide a calm, supportive environment away from the pressure of the classroom. By breaking down difficult topics and celebrating small wins, they help build your child's confidence week by week, which can make a huge difference to how they feel about their exams.
Can a tutor help with specific parts of the English GCSE, like the 'Macbeth' essay?
Definitely. That's one of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tuition. If your child is struggling with a particular text, character analysis, or exam question style, their tutor can dedicate entire lessons to mastering it, providing targeted practice and feedback.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week is ideal for making steady progress. However, it's completely flexible. You might want to increase the frequency closer to exams, or have fortnightly lessons for a general confidence boost. You can discuss this directly with your chosen tutor.
Do you offer tutoring for other things besides academic subjects?
Yes, we do! While we have experts across all school subjects from Primary to A-Level, we also have talented tutors who can teach practical skills like learning to play the guitar, coding in Python, or even public speaking.
How long will it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but with consistent weekly lessons, many parents see a boost in their child's confidence and understanding within a few weeks. Academic improvement often follows, with 90% of our students improving their grades by at least one level.
