How a Strong English GCSE Opens Doors to Top Sixth Forms and Universities
English isn't just about analysing quotes from *Macbeth* or getting to grips with poetry; it's about teaching your child how to think critically and communicate their ideas clearly. These are the exact skills that admissions tutors at competitive sixth forms and Russell Group universities look for in an application. A high grade in English demonstrates a level of understanding and articulacy that will help them stand out, setting them up for success in their A-Levels and beyond.

The Support Your Child Needs to Excel in English
We believe the best learning happens when a tutor truly connects with your child. Our tutors aren't just subject experts; they're mentors who take the time to understand how your child learns. By building a supportive relationship, they can pinpoint exactly where your child needs help – whether it's structuring an essay or understanding complex texts – and tailor their teaching style to build real confidence. Every one-to-one lesson is planned around your child's specific goals. If they're struggling with poetry analysis for their GCSEs, that's what the session will focus on. This targeted approach means no time is wasted. It’s why 90% of students see their grades improve by at least one level, and our GCSE students improve by up to two grades, helping them secure the results needed for their first-choice sixth form. Finding time for extra support shouldn't be another source of stress. With our online platform, you can connect with the UK's best background-checked English tutors from the comfort of your home in Elmbridge, at a time that works for your family. All you need is a laptop and an internet connection to get started.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child wants to apply to Esher College. Can a tutor help them get the right GCSE English grade?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are very familiar with the entry requirements for competitive sixth forms like Esher College. They can focus on the specific skills and grade boundaries your child needs to aim for, helping them build a strong application and the confidence to succeed.
We live in Elmbridge, where local schools are very competitive. How can a tutor help my child stand out?
We understand the pressure. A tutor provides one-to-one attention that's hard to get in a busy classroom. They can work with your child to deepen their understanding, refine their essay technique, and turn a good grade into an exceptional one, which can make all the difference when applying for competitive places.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch tutors' introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and check their qualifications and experience. You can also message them before booking to discuss your child's needs. It's all about finding someone your child will connect with.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If it's not the right fit for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
Are the tutors background-checked?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every tutor and all of them must have a valid DBS background check. We're very selective – we only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own prices based on their experience, typically ranging from £25 to £50 per hour. You can see each tutor's rate on their profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
How do online lessons work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a way to share documents. It's a convenient and effective way to learn from home, without the travel.
Can tutoring really help my child's confidence?
Yes, it's one of the biggest benefits we see. In a one-to-one setting, your child has a safe space to ask questions they might be shy about in class. As they start to understand tricky topics, their self-belief grows, and that confidence often carries over into the classroom.
How often should my child have a lesson?
This depends entirely on your child's goals. Most students have one lesson a week, but you can arrange more frequent sessions around exam time or fewer if they just need a top-up. You can discuss the best plan with your chosen tutor.
My child is aiming for a Russell Group university. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes. Many of our tutors are graduates from Russell Group universities themselves and have experience helping students with their applications. They can help your child develop the advanced analytical and writing skills needed to achieve the top A-Level grades and write a compelling personal statement.
How quickly will we see results?
Every child learns at their own pace, but our data shows that 90% of students improve by at least one grade. The biggest change parents often notice first is a boost in their child's confidence and enjoyment of the subject.
Is tutoring just for core subjects like English and Maths?
Not at all! While we have fantastic tutors for academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have experts who can help your child learn a musical instrument, master coding, or even learn a new language. It's all about finding what sparks their interest.
