How GCSE English Success Paves the Way to Top Universities
More than just a qualification, a strong GCSE in English gives your child the tools they need to succeed in all their subjects and beyond. It’s about building the confidence to analyse complex texts, whether it's a poem by Carol Ann Duffy or a difficult scene in 'An Inspector Calls'. These skills in critical thinking and clear communication are exactly what top sixth forms and Russell Group universities look for. With the right support, we see students improve their GCSE results by up to two grades, opening up a world of opportunity for their future.

The Right Support for Your Child's English Goals
We believe the best learning happens when there's a real connection. That's why we're so selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Our background-checked tutors are not just subject experts; they're mentors who get to know your child's unique learning style and what makes them tick. This builds a supportive partnership where your child feels comfortable asking questions and truly starts to enjoy English. In a one-to-one setting, every lesson is shaped around your child's exact needs. If they're finding it hard to get to grips with analysing poetry, the tutor can spend the whole session on it. If they need to practise their persuasive writing for English Language, that becomes the focus. This tailored approach is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade – it’s learning that’s built just for them. Juggling school, clubs, and family life is hard enough. Online tutoring takes the stress out of finding support. You can connect with the perfect tutor from anywhere in the UK, with lessons scheduled at a time that works for you and your family. With over 4,100 reviews giving us a 4.6-star rating, you can feel confident you're making a great choice for your child's education.

Paul M
Excellent English tutor
Maths is pure hell for some. It was for me as a young boy and I thought that because I didn't get the answers right it meant that I was no good.I didn't understand numbers, the vocabulary used for the abstract nature of maths and it left me feeling bereft of confidence. I am glad nowadays maths is taught in a more simpler fashion and I am proof that if maths is accessible in the right way, is fun and more importantly the fear factor is removed then anyone can prosper. That is how I like to approach maths and I feel that it is a fantastic way to enjoy, and dare I say it... love the subject.I am...

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
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form in the Nottinghamshire area. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the high GCSE grades, often 7-9, required for entry into competitive sixth forms. They can focus specifically on the English Language and Literature curriculum, strengthening essay writing and analytical skills to help your child meet and exceed their target grades.
We have our sights set on a Russell Group university like Nottingham. How can an English tutor support this long-term goal?
A strong English GCSE is a key foundation for A-Levels and a successful university application. A tutor helps by building deep-rooted skills in critical thinking, analysis, and communication that are essential for higher education. They'll help your child learn how to think, not just what to revise, preparing them for future academic success.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's all about finding the right fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch their introduction videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend sending a message to a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It helps you get a feel for their approach and personality.
My child's confidence in English is low. How can a tutor help?
Confidence is key. In a one-to-one lesson, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be too shy to ask in class. Tutors provide constant encouragement and celebrate small wins, which can completely transform how your child feels about a subject.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know that the right personal connection is vital for learning. That's why we have a 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 do I know the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We have a strict vetting process and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply. Every tutor must pass an interview and have their ID and background checked before they can teach on our platform.
Is tutoring just for core school subjects like English and Maths?
Not at all! While we help thousands of students with academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have brilliant tutors for music, languages, coding, and other hobbies. It's all about helping your child pursue their passions and develop new skills.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, typically starting from around £20 per hour. You can filter your search by price to find an experienced tutor who fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online lessons actually work?
Lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and diagrams, and a space to upload documents like essays or past papers. It's a simple and effective way to learn from the comfort of your home.
Is online tutoring as effective as in-person?
Many parents find it even more effective. You have a much wider choice of specialist tutors from across the UK, not just your local area. Plus, lessons can be recorded for your child to review later, and you save time and money on travel.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that a one-hour lesson once a week works well, especially for ongoing support with schoolwork. However, you can arrange lessons as often as you need – you might want more sessions in the run-up to exams, for example. It's completely flexible.
How quickly can we get started?
You can get started today. Simply search for a tutor, send them a message to check their availability, and you can book your first lesson directly from their profile. Many tutors can offer a lesson within a few days.
