Opening Doors for Your Child With a Strong GCSE in English
A strong grasp of English is more than just a grade; it's a fundamental skill that underpins almost every other subject. It’s the ability to analyse a tricky quote from 'Macbeth', structure a persuasive argument, and communicate ideas clearly. These are the exact skills your child will need to impress in their A-Levels and excel in competitive humanities courses at universities like Manchester. We can help them secure a GCSE result that truly reflects their ability — in fact, we can help improve their results by up to two grades.

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 Rochdale Sixth Form. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes, absolutely. Our English tutors are experienced in helping students achieve the specific GCSE grades needed for entry into competitive colleges like Rochdale Sixth Form. They can focus on the key curriculum areas and exam techniques to help your child feel confident and prepared.
We're aiming for a top university like Manchester. Can tutoring support this long-term goal?
Definitely. A strong GCSE in English is the first step. Our tutors help build a solid foundation of critical thinking and analytical skills that are essential for success at A-Level and for crafting a compelling personal statement for university applications.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's simple to find the perfect match. You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free 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 English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices, which are displayed clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and level, so you can find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How does online tutoring actually work?
Lessons take place in our interactive online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. Your child can work through past papers, analyse texts, and get instant feedback, all from the comfort of your home.
Are your tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and must pass a rigorous application process. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is learning from the best.
What happens if my child doesn't get on with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect fit, which is 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 can tutoring help my child feel more confident in English?
One-to-one attention in a supportive space works wonders for confidence. When your child has a tutor who celebrates their progress and helps them overcome challenges without the pressure of a full classroom, they start to believe in their own abilities.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most families find that one session a week is ideal for steady progress, but you can arrange a frequency that works for you and your child directly with your tutor. It's completely flexible.
What if we need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?
Life gets busy, we understand. You can easily cancel or reschedule a lesson through your Tutorful account. We just ask that you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Your tutor will provide regular feedback on your child's progress. You can also message them anytime to discuss how things are going. Many parents tell us they see a noticeable improvement not just in grades, but in their child's attitude towards the subject.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
While we cover all academic subjects, we also have amazing tutors for a huge range of other skills! From learning to play the guitar or speak a new language, to coding in Python or improving public speaking, there's a tutor for almost any interest.
