Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is Key for Their Future
GCSE English isn't just another subject; it's the qualification that unlocks your child's next steps. Strong skills in analysing a text like 'Macbeth' or crafting a persuasive argument are exactly what colleges and employers look for. A good grade opens up A-Level choices and strengthens applications for apprenticeships or universities like the University of South Wales, giving your child the best possible start for their future career.

John H
Experienced English tutor
Hi, I’m John, I’m 23 and I’m currently studying law at Demontfort University. I have been tutoring now for almost two years mainly in maths from KS1 up to GCSE and have developed the knowledge and skills to be able to tailor my lessons to best suit the student as no one style will work best for everyone. For example, some students may benefit from shorter lessons, some may benefit from taking the lessons at a much slower pace, some may prefer to just dive straight into questions and many other factors that we will be able to identify together and use to customise the lesson to best suit the stude...

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a tutor help my child get the grades needed for Coleg y Cymoedd?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced in helping students meet the entry requirements for specific colleges. They can focus on the exact areas of the GCSE English curriculum your child needs to master to secure their place for A-Levels.
My child is hoping to apply to the University of South Wales. Can a tutor help with their personal statement?
Yes, many of our English tutors have extensive experience helping students with their UCAS applications, including personal statements. They can help your child structure their ideas, showcase their strengths, and write a compelling statement for universities like the University of South Wales or Cardiff University.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match. If you don't get on with your first tutor for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos, and check reviews from other parents. We recommend messaging a few tutors to discuss your child's needs before booking. It's all about finding someone your child will feel comfortable learning with.
Are all the tutors background-checked?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every single tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant. We're very selective, accepting only 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe hands.
How much does an online English tutor cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and subject. You can see the price per hour clearly on each tutor's profile, so you can find an expert who fits your budget with no hidden costs.
How can a tutor help my child if they've lost confidence in English?
Confidence is key. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space where your child can ask questions without feeling embarrassed. By celebrating small wins and explaining things in a new way, tutors help rebuild that self-belief, which often makes the biggest difference.
Can tutoring help with specific parts of the GCSE English exam?
Definitely. Tutors can create a learning plan that targets specific exam components. Whether it's tackling unseen fiction for Paper 1 or mastering persuasive writing for Paper 2, they can provide focused practice and expert tips to help your child feel prepared.
How do online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It has a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and tools for sharing documents. It’s a safe and effective way for your child to learn from the comfort of home.
How quickly will I see an improvement in my child's grades?
Every child is different, but consistent support makes a real impact. Many parents tell us they see a boost in their child's confidence after just a few sessions. In fact, 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and we can help improve GCSE results by up to two grades.
Is tutoring only for academic subjects like English?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core academic subjects from the 11+ to degree level, we also have amazing tutors who can teach practical skills and hobbies, from coding and music production to learning the guitar.
What happens in a typical one-hour English lesson?
A lesson is usually tailored to your child's immediate needs. It might start with a quick review of a school topic, then move onto practising a specific skill, like analysing a poem. Tutors use the interactive whiteboard to work through examples together, ensuring your child understands before moving on.
