Definitely a worthwhile investment in my step sons future!

Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

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.

Brilliant English tutors who you’ll really click with.
Our experienced tutors take the time to understand where each student needs to focus and their preferred way of learning. They make a measurable difference – 90% of all students improve by at least one grade.
My child wants to get into a competitive sixth form in West Sussex. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. A tutor can provide focused support to help your child master the GCSE English curriculum and build the confidence needed to aim for those top grades, like a 7 or above, which are often required for entry into popular local sixth forms.
We're aiming for a university like Sussex or Bristol. Can a tutor help with a personal statement?
While tutors focus on the curriculum, the skills they teach are essential for a great personal statement. By helping your child develop their ability to analyse, argue, and write clearly, a tutor gives them the tools to articulate their ambitions effectively when it comes time to apply to university.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed profiles, check qualifications, and see what other parents have said through thousands of reviews. We recommend watching tutors' introductory videos and messaging a few to find the perfect personality fit for your child. You can even have a free 15-minute chat before booking.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily filter by price on our search page to find a brilliant tutor who fits your family's budget.
How do online lessons actually work?
It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes, and a space to upload documents like practice essays. It’s a brilliant way for your child to learn in a focused, one-to-one environment.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We know how important the right fit is. 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.
Are your tutors qualified to teach GCSE English?
Yes. We take great care in selecting our tutors, with only 1 in 8 applicants making it onto our platform. Many are qualified teachers or subject matter experts with extensive experience in the specific requirements of the GCSE English Language and Literature curriculum.
Can a tutor help my child feel more confident?
Building confidence is at the heart of what our tutors do. The one-to-one setting provides a safe space for your child to ask questions without feeling embarrassed. This personalised attention helps them understand topics properly, and that understanding is the biggest confidence booster there is.
My child is struggling with a specific text like 'Macbeth'. Can a tutor help?
Definitely. That's the great thing about one-to-one tuition. The lessons can be completely tailored to what your child needs, whether it's unpicking Shakespearean language, analysing characters, or planning an essay on a specific theme.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or guitar?
We offer tutoring for a huge range of skills beyond the school curriculum! From learning an instrument like the guitar or piano, to picking up a new language, to practical skills like coding, you can find an expert tutor to support your child's hobbies and interests.
How long will it take for my child to see an improvement?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our experience shows that consistent, weekly lessons often lead to noticeable improvements in both grades and confidence quite quickly. It's a partnership between the tutor, your child, and you.
How do I know I can trust Tutorful?
We're proud to have helped over 200,000 students and to have earned a 4.6-star rating from over 4,100 reviews. All of our tutors are background-checked and personally vetted by our team, so you can feel completely reassured.
