Why a Strong English Grade is so Important
English is more than just a subject; it’s a vital life skill that opens doors. The ability to analyse a complex text like 'An Inspector Calls' or to structure a persuasive argument gives your child a huge advantage. These are the skills they'll need for A-Levels, successful apprenticeship applications, and throughout university. A strong GCSE in English gives your child the widest range of options for their future.

asked questions
See all FAQs
My child attends Netherwood Academy. Can a tutor help them secure a Grade 5 in GCSE English?
Absolutely. Many of our tutors are GCSE specialists and have extensive experience helping students target specific grades. They can work with your child on the exact areas they find tricky, building their skills and confidence to help them secure that all-important pass and beyond.
We're worried about my child's options for Barnsley College. Can tutoring help?
Yes. A tutor can help your child develop the strong English skills needed for their application and chosen courses at Barnsley College. By securing a better GCSE grade, your child will have a wider range of vocational and A-Level options available to them.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
You can watch introductory videos, read reviews from other parents, and message tutors for free to find the perfect fit. Think about your child's personality and learning style – a great tutor is someone your child will look forward to learning with.
How do you make sure tutors are safe?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS check. We only accept 1 in 8 applicants, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
How much does an English tutor in Wombwell cost?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience. You can easily filter tutors by price to find an expert who fits your budget, with no hidden fees or contracts.
What happens in a typical online lesson?
Lessons are tailored to your child's needs. They take place in our online classroom, which features an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing. A tutor might spend a session reviewing your child's essay technique or breaking down complex quotes from 'Macbeth'.
How can a tutor help if my child has lost their confidence?
One-to-one attention from a patient and encouraging tutor can make a huge difference. By breaking down topics and celebrating small wins, tutors help rebuild your child's self-belief, creating a positive cycle of learning and achievement.
What if we don't like the first lesson?
We want you to be 100% happy. If you don't get on with your tutor for any reason, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. It's as simple as that.
How long are the lessons and how often should we have them?
Lessons are typically an hour long. Most families find that a regular weekly session works best to build momentum and keep up with schoolwork, but the frequency is completely up to you and your tutor.
Is it just for school subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer tutors for a huge range of skills beyond the school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn guitar, get started with coding, or even learn a new language for fun, you can find an expert tutor on Tutorful.
