Why Strong English Grades are Crucial for Your Child's Future
English isn't just another GCSE; it's the foundation for success in many other subjects. Strong analytical and essay-writing skills are essential for excelling in A-Levels and are exactly what top Russell Group universities like Leeds, York, and Durham look for. Whether it's analysing a quote from 'Macbeth' or structuring a persuasive argument, these are the core skills that will help your child thrive. In fact, targeted support can help improve your child's GCSE results by up to 2 grades, securing their path to the future they deserve.

Phil R
Bringing English to Life
I have a strong, passionate and extensive interest in History. I believe that rather than it be a stodgy subject full of dates and events, it’s actually a living thing as it’s about people, how they thought what they thought and why they thought it and how all that impacts us today. My specialist interest lies in 19th and 20th Century History particularly the First World War - I visit the battlefields of France and Belgium at least twice a year. It's something I think anyone should undertake at least just once to try and appreciate the magnitude of what took place there - it's a moving experience. I a...

Megan G
Megan is a wonderful tutor!
My son has really enjoyed the sessions with her and she adapts them to ensure he is fully understanding the teaching.
Megan provides an overview of feedback after to each session which allows me to understand what she has covered in the session and how to future support my son.
I cannot recommend her enough!!

Harry L
Our son has dyslexia and had taken his GCSE English several times without passing. He was demoralized with the whole process. We had 6 weeks before the next attempt and we were lucky enough to find Harry. He said that in his first lesson with him he had learnt more about exam technique than he had in all of his GCSE lessons. Today he got a grade 5 which seemed impossible before Harry's tutor sessions. Thankyou very much Harry, our family is extremely grateful for your particular teaching skills and supporting our son to success.

Hi Myles,
I just wanted to send you a heartfelt thank-you for the English lessons you gave my son. After only three sessions with you, he managed to pass — and we couldn’t be happier! He really enjoyed your lessons and said you made everything easy to understand and enjoyable.I truly appreciate the time, patience, and encouragement you gave him. It’s made a huge difference to his confidence and attitude toward English. Thanks again for all your help — we’re both very grateful!

Ameena tutored our son for an English language retake and he got an 8! He went up 3 grades from a 5. Her tutoring was focussed and responsive and she did it all over about 7 weeks. Could not ask for more. Thank you so much Ameena!

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 like Harrogate Grammar. Can a tutor help with this?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the high grades needed for competitive sixth forms. They can focus on the specific exam techniques and subject knowledge required to help your child secure a grade 7, 8, or 9 in their English GCSEs.
We're hoping for a Russell Group university like Leeds or York. How can an English tutor support this?
A strong English GCSE is the first step. A tutor can help your child build the foundational analytical and essay-writing skills that are essential for A-Levels and university-level study. This ensures they are not just prepared for their exams, but for the academic challenges ahead.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message them to discuss your child's needs before booking. This helps you find someone with the right experience and a teaching style that will click with your child.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can easily filter tutors by price on our platform to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their 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 are your tutors vetted?
We take safety and quality very seriously. All our tutors are background-checked and we interview every applicant. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can feel confident your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can a tutor help my child build confidence in English?
One-to-one lessons provide a safe space for your child to ask questions without fear of judgement. Tutors celebrate small wins and break down difficult topics, like Shakespeare, into manageable steps, which helps build self-belief and a more positive attitude towards the subject.
Do you only offer academic subjects like English?
While we have thousands of academic tutors, we also offer support in a wide range of other skills. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor on our platform.
What happens in a typical online English lesson?
Lessons are tailored to your child's needs. A session might involve working through a tricky piece of homework, practising essay plans for an upcoming exam, or analysing a poem together using the interactive whiteboard. It's always focused on what will help your child make the most progress.
How long does it take to see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that consistent tutoring makes a real impact. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The personalised attention helps them grasp concepts more quickly than in a busy classroom.
Can a tutor help with specific GCSE English texts?
Yes, many of our English tutors are specialists in the GCSE curriculum and can provide expert guidance on specific set texts, whether it's 'An Inspector Calls', 'Jekyll and Hyde', or the poetry anthology your child is studying.
How does the online classroom work?
Our online classroom is simple to use. It has video chat, an interactive whiteboard for sharing notes and diagrams, and a document editor for working on essays together. It's designed to make online learning as engaging and effective as possible.
