Why a Strong English GCSE is Key for Their Future
English isn't just another subject; it's a core qualification that top colleges and universities look for. A strong pass, especially a grade 6/B or above, is often a requirement for the most popular A-Level courses at colleges in Neath and Brecon, and it's essential for a competitive application to universities like Cardiff. The skills your child develops—from analysing a tricky poem to structuring a compelling essay—are the building blocks for their future success, whatever path they choose.

Carole G
Professional English tutor
Hi, my name is Carole. I worked as a primary school teacher for 19 years and I have been tutoring children from reception to year 8, mainly online, since February 2020. I have worked with many children, helping them to achieve success in SATs, school entrance exams or to gain increased confidence and enjoyment of their subjects in school. I had some recent feedback from a parent, stating that their child had "gone from being scared of maths (and trying to hide it by saying maths is boring) to loving it!" Some of my current students have worked with me for several years, continuing after primary...

Holly E
Holly has been tutoring my son in English GCSE for the last half term. He has found the lessons very useful, working in a logical order through the different aspects of the curriculum. Holly is friendly, approachable and encouraging.
My Son has just had his mock exam results and has moved from just hitting an exam grade boundary to being 2 points off the next grade up. We are very pleased at his progress in a short space of time.

Mamun A
My son is really improving since starting lessons with Mamun. From the start of the lesson getting almost all questions wrong to by the end completely understanding it all. Tested him a few days later and he got almost every question right without any help at all he remembered all the punctuation in all questions, shocked how much he's improved from just one lesson on it! Mamun's teaching is brilliant and it really seems to stick in my sons head. Also my son is very fussy with his ASD/ADHD and is often open about his feelings towards people, especially new people most often than not he will say he doesn't like this person because of this or that, but he said he likes his tutor and wants to do more lessons which is brilliant. Mamun is always on time, very patient and explains thoroughly, he gives brilliant feedback afterwards too. Highly recommend this tutor and I'm glad I chose him rather than someone else.

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 is at Ysgol Maesydderwen. Can a tutor help them get the English grade for NPTC Group colleges?
Absolutely. Our tutors are experienced in helping students target the specific grades they need for college entry. They can focus on the GCSE English curriculum, strengthening weak areas and building confidence to help your child secure a place on their desired A-Level course in Neath or Brecon.
We're hoping for a place at Swansea or Cardiff University. How can an English tutor support this goal?
A strong English A-Level is vital for applications to competitive universities. A tutor can provide deeper subject knowledge and also help with crucial skills for university applications, such as personal statement writing and interview practice, to make your child's application stand out.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
It's easy to find the perfect fit. You can read reviews from other parents, watch introductory videos, and message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before you book. This helps you find someone your child will really connect with.
What happens if we don't get on with the first tutor?
We want you to be completely happy. With 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 much does online English tutoring cost in Ystradgynlais?
Our tutors set their own rates, which are clearly displayed on their profiles. Prices vary based on experience and level, so you can easily find an expert tutor that fits your family's budget. There are no hidden fees or contracts.
Are your tutors properly vetted?
Yes, your child's safety is our top priority. We personally interview every tutor and they must all have a valid DBS check. We're very selective and only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure your child is in safe, expert hands.
How can tutoring help my child feel more confident?
Sometimes, all a child needs is a place where they feel safe to say, 'I don't understand'. In a one-to-one lesson, a tutor can patiently explain concepts in a new way, celebrate small wins, and help your child see that they are capable of succeeding.
Can tutoring really improve my child's GCSE grade?
Yes, it can make a big difference. 90% of our students improve by at least one grade, and our focused approach has been shown to improve GCSE results by up to two grades. It's about giving your child the personalised attention they need to shine.
How do the online lessons actually work?
Our online classroom has everything your child needs for a great lesson, including a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and a space to share documents. It's simple to use and means they can learn from an expert tutor from the comfort of home.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find that one hour-long lesson per week works best, especially for keeping up momentum with schoolwork. However, it's completely flexible. You can arrange a schedule that works for you and your child directly with your tutor.
What if my child's schedule is already really busy?
That's the great thing about online tutoring. You're not limited to tutors in your immediate area, so you have a much wider choice of available times, including evenings and weekends. You can find a regular slot that fits perfectly around school, clubs, and family life.
Is this just for school subjects, or can my child learn skills like coding or music?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects! While we're here to help with core subjects like English and Maths, your child can also explore hobbies and passions like learning the guitar, coding in Python, or even speaking a new language.
