Why a Strong GCSE English Grade is Key to Your Child's Future
GCSE English is more than just a qualification; it's the foundation for so much of your child's future learning. Strong analytical and communication skills, honed by studying texts like 'Macbeth' or crafting persuasive arguments, are essential for almost every A-Level subject. A great grade not only helps secure their place at colleges like BHASVIC and Varndean but also builds the confidence they'll need to succeed at competitive universities, like the University of Sussex, and in their future career.

Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for BHASVIC or Varndean College. Can a tutor help with that?
Absolutely. Many of our English tutors are very experienced in helping students secure the top GCSE grades (6 and above) needed for entry into competitive sixth-form colleges. They can focus on exam technique, essay writing, and textual analysis to help your child feel confident and prepared.
My main concern is my child's GCSE English grade. How much can you help?
We specialise in helping students with their GCSEs. Our tailored approach has been shown to improve a child's results by up to 2 grades. A dedicated tutor can focus specifically on the exam board's requirements, helping your child master the skills needed to hit those higher grade boundaries.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
Every tutor has a detailed profile with a video, student reviews, and their experience. Think about what your child needs most – is it confidence with poetry, or help with exam structure? You can message tutors before booking to ask questions and ensure they're a good fit for your child's personality and goals.
What if we don't click with the first tutor?
We want to make sure you find the perfect match for your child. That's 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 do the online lessons work?
Lessons take place in our specially designed online classroom. It has an interactive whiteboard, video chat, and file sharing, making it easy for your child and their tutor to work through everything from analysing quotes in 'Macbeth' to planning essays together.
How much does an English tutor cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. This transparency allows you to find an expert tutor who fits your budget, with no hidden costs.
Can a tutor help if my child has lost confidence in English?
Definitely. A one-to-one setting is perfect for building confidence. Our tutors create a patient and encouraging environment where your child can work at their own pace and feel safe to make mistakes. Rebuilding that self-belief is often the first step to achieving better grades.
How do you vet your tutors?
Your child's safety is our top priority. We interview every applicant and only accept 1 in 8 who apply. All our tutors are background-checked, ensuring you can have complete peace of mind.
We live in Woodingdean. Are the tutors local?
Our tutors are based all across the UK, and because all lessons are online, you can connect with the very best English specialist for your child, regardless of location. This gives you a much wider choice than just tutors based in the Woodingdean or Brighton area.
How often should my child have a lesson?
Most families find a one-hour session once a week is a great starting point, especially in the run-up to exams. However, it's completely flexible. You can discuss what works best for your child's schedule and learning needs directly with your chosen tutor.
Is tutoring just for school subjects?
Not at all. Alongside core academic subjects from Primary to A-Level, we have expert tutors who can help your child learn practical skills like coding or a musical instrument like the guitar. It's a great way to support their hobbies and development outside of school.
How effective is online tutoring?
It's highly effective! 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. The focused, one-to-one attention in a distraction-free environment helps students make progress quickly. Join the 200,000+ happy students who have used Tutorful and see the difference it can make.
