Why a Strong GCSE in English is Key to Your Child's Future
GCSE English isn't just another subject; it's the foundation for so much of your child's future learning. Strong analytical and essay-writing skills are essential not just for studying texts like 'Macbeth', but also for subjects like History and Sociology at A-Level. Securing that grade 5 or above is the key that unlocks opportunities for further study and gives them a real advantage when applying to competitive universities. We know how important this is, and we're proud that our expert tutoring can help improve a child's GCSE results by up to two grades.

Give Your Child the Personalised English Support They Deserve
We know that finding the right person is key. That's why we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from a background-checked expert. Our tutors are more than just subject specialists; they take the time to understand your child's unique learning style and where they might be struggling, whether it's with analysing poetry or structuring an argument. Every online lesson is built around your child. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, their tutor will focus on the exact areas they need to improve. This could mean spending a session breaking down a tricky 'An Inspector Calls' quote or practising specific exam techniques to turn a grade 4 into a grade 5 or higher. It's this focused attention that helps 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. Juggling school, homework, and family life in West Hallam can be busy. Online tutoring makes it simple to find regular support that fits your schedule. There's no travel involved, and with our secure online classroom, your child can learn from the comfort of home, at a time that works for everyone. It's trusted, flexible support, rated 4.6/5 stars from over 4,100 parent reviews.

Flora I
We are absolutely delighted with the English tuition Flora is providing for our son in preparation for his GCSEs. He is really enjoying her lessons and already finding them extremely helpful. Flora listens carefully, offers clear and thoughtful advice, and focuses on strengthening his knowledge in a way that feels supportive and encouraging. Each lesson is very well structured, which has really helped build his confidence.
Although he has only had a few lessons so far, he already feels they will make a real difference and help him focus on exactly what he needs to prioritise for his exams. This is exactly what we hoped Flora would deliver, and we couldn’t be happier with the start she has made.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends Friesland School. Can we find a tutor familiar with their specific GCSE English course?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors have extensive experience with the AQA and Edexcel exam boards used in most schools, including Friesland. You can check each tutor's profile for their specific experience and even message them before booking to ensure they're the perfect fit for your child's needs.
We're aiming for a place at a competitive university like Nottingham or Loughborough. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, they can. A strong GCSE in English is a vital stepping stone. Our tutors can help your child master the analytical and essay-writing skills that are not only crucial for getting top grades now, but are also exactly what top universities look for in their students.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors with the right experience for your child's age and level. We recommend reading their profiles and reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors before you book to ask questions and make sure they're a good match for your child's personality and goals.
What if my child doesn't click with their first English tutor?
We understand that the right personal connection is key to learning. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can a tutor help my child feel more confident in English?
Confidence often comes from understanding. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might not ask in class. Tutors can break down difficult topics, celebrate small wins, and adapt their teaching style, which all helps to build your child's self-belief.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Yes. Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor on our platform has passed an enhanced DBS check and has had their ID and references verified by our expert recruitment team. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile, with prices starting from as little as £15 per hour. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use and has everything your child needs for a great lesson. It includes video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. All your child needs is a laptop or computer with a webcam and a stable internet connection.
Can a tutor help with specific exam texts like 'An Inspector Calls'?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experts in the curriculum and can provide focused support on specific texts, characters, and themes. They can help your child analyse quotes, structure essays, and understand exactly what examiners are looking for.
How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. Most families find that a regular weekly session works best to build momentum and see consistent progress, but the frequency is completely up to you and can be arranged directly with your tutor.
What results can I really expect?
While every child is different, our aim is to help them achieve their best. We're proud that 90% of students who use Tutorful improve by at least one grade, and for GCSEs, this can be an improvement of up to two grades.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can you help with other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects and skills! While we're here to help your child excel in English, we also have expert tutors for everything from Maths and Science to learning the guitar, coding in Python, or even public speaking.
